CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the
provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal
components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,
set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and
gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or
keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the
instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product,
damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices
below.
Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may
generate noise. When you use the instrument along with an application on your
iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON”
on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication.

Setting Up
Connect the AC adaptor plugs in the following order.
For the Power Adaptor with a Removable Plug
Do not remove the plug from the power adaptor. If the
plug is removed accidentally, slide the plug into place
without touching the metallic parts, and then push the
plug in completely until it clicks.
q Set the volume to the minimum.
w Press the [ ] (Standby/On) button to turn on the
power.
When the power is supplied to the instrument, the
power lamp located on the left of the power switch
is turned on. While playing the keyboard, adjust
the volume level by using the [MASTER VOL-
UME] slider. To turn off the power, press the [ ]
(Standby/On) switch again for a second.
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
function automatically turns the power off if no but-
tons or keys are operated for approximately 30 min-
utes. If desired, you can disable or enable this
function.
To disable the Auto Power Off function:
When the instrument is turned off:
While holding down the lowest key (A-1), press the
[ ] (Standby/On) switch to turn on the power so that
the power indicator flashes three times, after which
the Auto Power Off function is disabled.
When the instrument is turned on:
While holding down [METRONOME/RHYTHM]
and [PIANIST STYLE] simultaneously, press the
lowest key (A-1).
Power Requirements
• Use the specified adaptor (page 25) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC
outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trou-
ble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• To disconnect the power adaptor, press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch and
carry out the above procedure in reverse order.
• Make sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor.
Using the plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the
plug. To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage,
also be careful that there is no dust between the AC
adaptor and plug.

key.
When you start playing, use the [MASTER VOL-
UME] to adjust the volume of the entire keyboard
sound.
Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)
With this function, the sound quality of this instru-
ment is automatically adjusted and controlled accord-
ing to the overall volume. Even when the volume is
low, you can hear both low sounds and high sounds
clearly.
To turn on/off the IAC:
While holding down [METRONOME/RHYTHM]
and [PIANIST STYLE] simultaneously, press the
G3 key to turn on or G#3 to turn off.
Default setting: on
To adjust the IAC Depth:
While holding down [METRONOME/RHYTHM]
and [PIANIST STYLE] simultaneously, press the
E3 key to decrease by one, F#3 to increase by one,
or F3 to reset to 0 (default).
Setting range: -3 – 0 – +3
Because of the simple, piano-like design of this instru-
ment, there are a minimum of panel controls, and
most settings are made using the keys of the keyboard.
When you turn a function on or off, or change a set-
ting, the instrument produces a sound to confirm the
change. There are three types of sounds used: an
ascending sound for on, a descending sound for off,
and clicks for other settings. For the list of functions
assigned to the buttons and keys, see “Quick Opera-
tion Guide” on page 28, 29.
Setting the Operation Confirmation Sounds
On or Off
You can enable or disable the Operation Confirmation
Sounds as desired.
While holding [DEMO/SONG], press the A-1 key.
Every time you press the A-1 key, the setting is
switched on or off.
Default setting: on
Since this instrument is equipped with two
[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of stan-
dard stereo headphones. If you are using only one set
of headphones, insert a plug into either jack, shutting
off the speakers.
• If your digital piano is connected to other equipment such
as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer but you do not
intend to use it for 30 minutes, we recommend that you
turn off all devices as described in their owner’s manuals.
Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the other equip-
ment. If you do not want the instrument to turn off auto-
matically when connected to other equipment, disable the
Auto Power Off function.

The [SUSTAIN] jack is for connecting the included
footswitch, which works in the same way as a damper
pedal on an acoustic piano. Also an optional FC3A
foot pedal or FC4A or FC5 footswitch can be con-
nected to this jack. The FC3A lets you use the Half
Pedal function.
Half Pedal function (for FC3A and LP-5A/LP-
5AWH)
If you are playing the piano with sustain and want
a clearer, less muddled sound (especially in the
bass register), let up on your foot from the pedal to
half position or higher.
The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting an
optional LP-5A/LP-5AWH pedal unit. When connect-
ing the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit
on an optional keyboard stand (L-85/L-85WH).
Damper (Right) Pedal
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releas-
ing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sus-
tained notes. A “half-pedal” function of this pedal
creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far
down you press the pedal.
Damper Resonance
This function simulates the sustain sound produced
via the damper pedal on a grand piano.
To turn Damper Resonance on/off:
While holding down [METRONOME/RHYTHM]
and [PIANIST STYLE] simultaneously, press the
A3 key (on) or A#3 key (off).
Default setting: on
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those
notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if
the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse-
quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes
it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other
notes are played “staccato.”
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly
changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is
pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing when it is pressed.
Using a Footswitch
• Do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing this changes
the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch
operation.
• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the foot-
switch or pedal.
Using the Optional Pedal Unit
• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit.

GRAND PIANO
Sampled from a concert grand piano. It uses
different samples depending on the playing
strength and produces smoother tonal
changes. Suitable not only for classical com-
positions but also for any style music.
BRIGHT GRAND
Bright piano sound. Clear tone helps the
sound to “cut through” when playing in an
ensemble.
MELLOW
GRAND
Warm and soft piano sound. Good for play-
ing ballads.
DX E.PIANO
An electronic piano sound created by FM
synthesis. Good for standard popular
music.

5AWH) is connected, the rotary speed of
the “ROTARY SP” effect can be switched
by using the left pedal.
PIPE ORGAN
A typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet
+ 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the
Baroque period.
ROCK ORGAN
Bright and edgy electric organ sound. Good
for rock music. When the separately sold
Pedal Unit (LP-5A/LP-5AWH) is connected,
the rotary speed of the “ROTARY SP” effect
can be switched by using the left pedal.
VIBRAPHONE
Played with relatively soft mallets. The tone
becomes more metallic the harder you play.
STRINGS
Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings
ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combin-
ing this Voice with piano in the Dual mode.
HARPSI-
CHORD
The definitive instrument for baroque
music. Authentic harpsichord sound, with
plucked strings, no touch response, and
characteristic key-release sound.
WOOD BASS
An upright bass played fingerstyle. Ideal
for jazz and Latin music.
E. BASS
For a wide range of music styles, jazz,
rock, popular, and more.

The volume level does not change much when you play
the keyboard soft or hard.

Medium:
This is the standard piano touch response (default
setting).

Hard:
The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo
to fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression. You
have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound.
Key Transposition
You can shift or transpose the pitch of the entire
keyboard up or down in semitones.
For example, if you set the transpose to “+5,” the
key C will produce the pitch F. You could, therefore,
play a song as if it was in C major and the digital
piano would transpose it to the key of F major.
