EXTERNAL CONNECTION
Power Cord Connecting

- Plug the other end of the power adapter into a 100V-220V domestic power socket.
- Unplug the power cord and store it properly when not in use for an extended period.
A diagram shows the connection of a DC-12V input to an AC power adapter, which then connects to an AC power socket.
Pedal Connecting
The piano supports three pedals:
- Soft Pedal: Depressing this pedal softens the sound and reduces its volume.
- Sostenuto Pedal: Depressing this pedal sustains the sound of only the notes that have been played.
- Sustain Pedal: Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after the player's hands have been lifted from the keyboard.
A diagram illustrates the three pedals labeled Soft, Sostenuto, and Sustain.
Headphones Connecting
Insert stereo headphones into the headphones output socket on the bottom of the piano for private practice or late-night playing. Avoid wearing headphones at high volume for extended periods to prevent hearing damage.
Audio Devices Connecting
The input/output socket (AUX OUT) on the back panel can connect to stereo audio systems, mixers, or other audio devices. Ensure all connected equipment is powered off before connecting or disconnecting. Turn down the volume of all devices to minimum before powering them on.
A diagram shows connection to a STEREOSYSTEM via AUX OUT.
Computer Connecting
The USB socket functions as a MIDI Jack for direct computer connection. Connect one end of the USB cable to the piano and the other end to the computer's USB socket for two-way signal transmission, allowing you to play computer MIDI data on the piano. When setting up computer software, do not set the USB audio device to Input & Output simultaneously to avoid sound overlap. Do not use a USB hub when using a USB connecting cable.
