Power Supply You can power this digital piano by plugging it into a standard household power outlet. Be sure you turn off power and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet whenever the digital piano is not in use. Using the AC Adaptor Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this digital piano.
Connections IMPORTANT! • Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete. Connecting Headphones Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano’s PHONES jacks. This cuts off the builtin speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others.
Connections Connecting an audio or musical instrument amplifier Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers. Audio amplifier AUX IN, etc. RIGHT (Red) PIN plugs LEFT (White) Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 3 Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 3. R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound.

Main Tones 15 Variation Tones 15 GM Tones 128 Drum Sets 10 Press the VARIATION button so the indicator lamp above it is lit. • This selects the variation tone assigned to each TONE button. Example: PIPE ORGAN • For information about variation tone assigned to each button, see the Tone List on page A-1.
Playing with Different Tones While holding down the CONTROL button, use the keyboard keys shown below to input the tone number of the GM tone you want to assign to the GM TONES button. 4 Example: 008 (GM CELESTA) Selecting the GM TONES Button Variation Tone To assign a variation tone to the GM TONES button, perform the steps under “Selecting a GM Tone or Drum Set” on page E-7. After step 1, however, press the VARIATION button so the indicator lamp above it is lit.
Playing with Different Tones To Select effect type Layering Two Tones You can select from among four reverb effects and four chorus effects by pressing the keyboard keys shown below. PREPARATION 1 Reverb Effect Keys 1: Room 2 0: Room 1 Use the following procedure to layer to two tones, so they sound at the same time. • If you plan to use a variation tone, perform the procedure on page E-7 to select the variation tone for the applicable TONE button(s) before starting this procedure.
Playing with Different Tones Adjusting the Volume of Layered Tones 1 While holding down the CONTROL button, use the keyboard keys shown below to adjust the volume of the layered tones. Specifying the Keyboard Tone Split Point 1 While holding down the SPLIT button, press the keyboard key where you want the left limit of the high range (right) tone to be.
Playing with Different Tones Pedal functions • Damper pedal Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. • Soft pedal Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume. Using the Built-in Metronome You can use the metronome to sound a count that helps keep you in proper time. 1 Press the METRONOME button.
Playing Rhythms You can select from among 120 built-in rhythms. See the Rhythm List on page A-2 of this manual for more information. 4 Press the START/STOP button again to stop the rhythm. NOTE NOTE • Rhythms 110 through 119 consist of chord accompaniments only, without any drums or other percussion instruments. These rhythms do not sound unless CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD is selected as the accompaniment mode.
Playing Rhythms To adjust the tempo of the rhythm Using Auto Accompaniment Press the RHYTHM button so the RHYTHM indicator lamp is lit. 1 • Each press of the button toggles between the upper indicator lamp and lower indicator lamp. While holding down the CONTROL button, use the TEMPO [ ] and [ ] buttons to change the tempo (speed) of the rhythm.
Playing Rhythms 4 Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the first chord within the accompaniment keyboard range. • See “How to Play Chords” on this page for information about how to finger chords with the various chord modes. • This will cause the intro pattern for the selected rhythm to play, followed by the auto accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern. 5 Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play other chords.
Playing Rhythms Chord Types CASIO CHORD accompaniment lets you play four types of chords with minimal fingering. Chord Types Example Major chords Press one accompaniment key. Note that the chord produced when you press an accompaniment keyboard key does not change octave, regardless of which key you use to play it. Minor chords (m) To play a minor chord, keep the major chord key depressed and press any other accompaniment keyboard key located to the right of the major chord key.
Playing Rhythms ■ FULL RANGE CHORD This accompaniment method makes it possible to play a total of 38 chord variations: the 15 available with FINGERED plus 23 additional variations. The keyboard interprets any input of three or more keys that matches a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern to be a chord. Any multi-key input that is not a FULL RANGE CHORD pattern is interpreted as melody play.
Learning to Play the Built-in Tunes NOTE Playing a Built-in Tune Your piano comes with 25 Music Library tunes built in. See the Song List on page A-2 of this manual for more information. • You can also cycle through the available tunes in step 2 by holding down the CONTROL button and pressing the RHYTHM/SONG SELECT [ ] or [ ] button. Press the SONG button so SONG indicator lamp (below the button) is lit. 1 • Each press of the button toggles between the upper indicator lamp and lower indicator lamp.
Recording to and Playing Back from Song Memory You can store the notes you play in Song Memory for later playback.

Besides notes, each track can be assigned its own tone number. During playback you can adjust the tempo to change the speed of playback.
Recording to and Playing Back from Song Memory Recording Your Keyboard Play You can record to either track with or without playback of the other track. To record to one track without playing back the other 1 Press the SONG MEMORY button twice so the SONG MEMORY indicator lamp is flashing. • At this time the TRACK 1/L indicator lamp should also be flashing. This indicates that the piano is standing by for recording to Track 1.
Recording to and Playing Back from Song Memory To record to a track while playing back from the other 3 After you finish recording, you can play back Track 1 and Track 2 at the same time. Example: To record to Track 2 while playing back the contents of Track 1 Press the START/STOP button. • This starts playback of the track you selected. • You can change the tempo setting as a track is playing. • As a track is playing, you can turn the metronome on or off using the METRONOME button.
