About the Pedals
For more on connecting the DP-900's pedals, refer to p. 8.
Pedal Functions
fig.pedal.e
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is
not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent
strength.
This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic piano.
Some tones are affected less than others.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations
continue to be added to the sound after you release from the
keys.
This is the same function as the right pedal of an acoustic
piano.
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping.
The power of the DP-900 must be turned off before inserting
or removing a pedal cord.
Connecting Headphones
(Sold Separately)
The DP-900 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This
allows two people to listen through headphones
simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when
performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this
allows you to play without having to worry about bothering
others around you, even at night.
fig.00-08
Connect the headphones to either of the
headphone jacks.
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob
of the DP-900.
Use stereo headphones that have a 1/4” phone plug.
Some notes on using headphones
To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones
only by the headset or the plug.
Connecting the headphones when the volume of
connected equipment is turned up may result in damage
to the headphones. Lower the volume on the DP-900
before plugging in the headphones.
Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only
damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss.
Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.
