Connecting External Audio Devices
To amplify the instrument's sound, connect a stereo system to the AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks using the headphone jack (standard). Use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to adjust the output volume for these jacks.
Notes
- When outputting the instrument's sound to external devices, turn on the instrument's power first, then turn on the power of the external devices. When turning off the power, do so in the reverse order.
- Use audio cables and adapter plugs that are not impedance-matched.
- If connecting to non-stereo devices, use only one [L/L+R] jack.
Using Pedals
The [SUSTAIN] jack is used to connect the included pedal, which functions the same as the sustain pedal on an acoustic piano. You can also connect an optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4/FC5 pedals to this jack. With the FC3 connected, you can use the half-pedal function.
Sustain Pedal
Pressing this pedal sustains the notes. Releasing the pedal stops the sustain immediately. The "half-pedal" function of this pedal creates a half-sustain effect based on the depth to which the pedal is pressed.
Half-Pedal Function (for FC3 and LP-5A/LP-5AWH)
To sustain the piano sound and produce a clearer, less muddy tone (especially in the bass register), lift your foot to the halfway position on the pedal.
Notes
- Do not press the pedal while the power switch is on. Doing so may change the pedal's recognition polarity, causing the pedal to operate in reverse.
- Always turn off the power switch before connecting or disconnecting pedals or foot switches.
Using the Optional Pedal Unit
The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is used to connect the optional LP-5A/LP-5AWH pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, be sure to install the instrument on an optional keyboard stand (L-85/L-85S/L-85WH).
Sustain Echo
This function simulates the sustain effect produced when the damper pedal of a grand piano is pressed.
To turn Sustain Echo On/Off:
Press and hold the [DEMO/SONG] and [METRONOME/RHYTHM] buttons, then press the G4 key (On; default setting) or the G#4 key (Off).
Sustain (Right) Pedal
Pressing this pedal sustains the notes. Releasing the pedal stops the sustain immediately. The "half-pedal" function of this pedal creates a half-sustain effect based on the depth to which the pedal is pressed.
Sostenuto (Middle) Pedal
If you press this pedal while playing a note or chord, and then release the note while holding the pedal down, those notes will sustain as long as the pedal is pressed (similar to the sustain pedal), but any subsequent notes played will not sustain. For example, you can sustain a chord while playing other notes "staccato".
Soft (Left) Pedal
Pressing this pedal reduces the volume of the notes being played and slightly alters their tone. Pressing the soft pedal does not affect notes that have already been played.
Notes
- When the JAZZ ORGAN or ROCK ORGAN voice is selected, the left pedal switches the speed of the rotary speaker.

Notes
- If you select a part that already contains data, the recording operation will overwrite the previously recorded data.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause and Solution |
|---|---|
| The instrument's power cannot be turned on. | The instrument's power plug is not inserted correctly. Firmly insert the recessed plug into the jack on the instrument, and then plug the insertable plug into a suitable AC power outlet (page 7). |
| The instrument automatically turns off even when no operation is performed. | This is normal. This is the function of the Auto Power Off function (page 19). |
| Noise is heard from the speakers or headphones. | Noise may be caused by interference from mobile phones used near the instrument. Turn off your mobile phone or use it away from the instrument. |
| The overall volume is low or no sound is heard. | The master volume is set too low; use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to adjust the volume to an appropriate level (page 7). Confirm that no headphones are plugged into the [PHONES] jack (page 7). |
| The pedal does not work. | Confirm that Local Control is set to ON. For detailed information, refer to "MIDI Reference (MIDI Reference)" on the website (page 4). |
| The pedal (for sustain) seems to have the opposite effect. For example, pressing the pedal cuts off the sound, and releasing it sustains the sound. | The pedal's polarity is reversed, causing the pedal to be pressed when the power is turned on. Turn off the power, then turn it on again to reset the function. Do not press the pedal while the power switch is on. |
