Sustain/Assignable jack Terminal You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below. For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see "Changing Other Settings" on page E-66. 1 Rear Panel Audio connection PHONES/OUTPUT jack Stereo standard plug White Red PIN plug LEFT RIGHT Keyboard amp, guitar amp, etc. AUX IN or similar terminal of audio amplifier Connecting Phones 1 Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard's builtin speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone. SP-20 1 SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal Audio Equipment 2 Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details. Sustain Pedal · With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano's damper pedal. · With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released. Sostenuto Pedal · As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained. · This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. · With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys. Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained. Musical Instrument Amplifier 3 Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier. · Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost. Soft Pedal Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played. · When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier's controls. Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button. Connection Example Accessories and Options Use only the accessories and options specified for this keyboard. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire, electrical shock, and personal injury. 707A-E-017A E-15 Basic Operations Basic Operations 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 6 1 4 7 MAIN VOLUME DSP Number buttons 2 5 8 POWER PIANO SETTING [+]/[­] 3 6 TONE START/STOP This section provides information on performing basic keyboard operations.

The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 32-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or autoaccompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 10-note polyphony. 707A-E-019A E-17 Basic Operations Changing Tones and Configuring DSP Effect Settings This keyboard has only a single DSP sound source. Because of this, selecting tones for which DSP is enabled for multiple parts when layering or splitting tones (page E-61, E-62) can cause conflicts. To avoid conflicts, DSP is allocated to the last DSP enabled tone, and DSP is disabled (DSP line OFF) for all other parts. DSP line is a parameter that controls whether or not the currently selected DSP effect is applied to a part.* Each tone has a DSP line parameter. Selecting a tone for a part applies the tone's DSP line parameter setting to all parts. * The DSP line parameter is turned on (DSP effect is applied) for the 332 Advanced Tones numbered 000 through 331, and turned off (DSP effect not applied) for the 200 preset tones from 400 to 599. For information about other tones, see "Tone Types" on page E-16. · Pressing the PIANO SETTING button while a rhythm is playing stops rhythm play and then changes the keyboard setup. · Pressing the PIANO SETTING button while the keyboard is in the Synthesizer Mode or other mode exits the current mode and then changes the keyboard setup. · The setup of the keyboard does not change if you press the PIANO SETTING button when any one of the following exists. * During real-time recording, step recording, or while using the editing function of the Song Memory * While the data save or overwrite message is on the display * During demo tune play PIANO SETTING Button Pressing this button changes the setup of the keyboard to optimize it for piano play.
