Getting Ready to Play
Using Batteries
Preparing the Music Stand
• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.
• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available
AA-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any
other nickel based batteries.
Music stand
1. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the
Digital Keyboard.
Power Supply
Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this
Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is
recommended.
• The AD-5 AC adaptor does not come with this Digital
Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See
page E-1 for information about options.
2. Load six AA-size batteries into the battery
compartment.
Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the
batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.
Using the AC Adaptor
Use the AD-5 AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital
Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.
DC 9V terminal

3. Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the
holes on the side of the battery compartment,
and close the cover.

Playing the Digital Keyboard
Using Headphones
Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers,
which means you can practice playing even late at night
without disturbing others.
Changing Keyboard Response to
Touch Pressure
(Touch Response)
• Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting
headphones.
Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with
keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the
same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.
PHONES/OUTPUT jack
Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity
■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys
are pressed.
People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied
to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however,
the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at
which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are
pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly.
Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical
instrument lets you control note volume without striving to
apply too much pressure with your fingertips.
• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.
• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-1 for
information about options.
■ The playability of an acoustic piano
• Do not listen to very high volume output over
headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk
of hearing damage.
• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor
plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged
in when removing the headphones.
Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the
next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes
automatically in accordance with key press speed.
Pressing fast produces
louder notes.
Pressing slowly produces
softer notes.
Do not try to use too much
pressure.

Sampling a Sound and Playing It
on the Keyboard (Sampling)
You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a
microphone, and then play the sound with the keyboard keys
or voice pads. For example, you could sample the bark of
your dog and then use the sound in a melody. The sampling
feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly
creative.
Changing the Pitch in Semitone Steps
(Transpose)
The transpose feature lets you change the pitch, in semitone
steps. A simple operation lets you instantly change the pitch
to match that of a singer.
