2. Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the volume.

NOTE

Of the digital pianos 18 built-in tones, the first five are grand piano tone. Each tone has its own distinctive merits, so you should select the tone that suits the song you are playing along with or your own personal preferences. The CONCERT and MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick and easy selection.

* Feature that applies computer morphing technology to enable seamless changes between sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full concert grand piano.

Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)

Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or 2) in step 1 of the above procedure will assign the selected bass tone to the low range (left side) of the keyboard. The high range (right side) will be assigned the tone that was selected when you pressed the BASS 1 or BASS 2 key. BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the

keyboard between two different tones.

NOTE

To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording to Track 2.

Tone Name Characteristics

CONCERT This is a full concert grand piano tone that uses Linear Morphing* for dynamic and natural tone changes. This tone is designed to reproduce damper, resonance, and other piano nuances, which makes it ideal for virtually any type of piano performance.

MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano sound. The volume and timbre of this tone is quick to respond to different keyboard pressures, and it has relatively strong reverb. This tone is a good choice for dynamic and lively performances.

CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely resembles the sound of an acoustic piano. Though reverb and other flashy effects are subdued for this tone, resonance is more pronounced, which enables expression of delicate nuances. This tone is a good choice for lesson and practice sessions.

MELLOW Warm and mellow piano tone

The lamp of each button lights whenever the standard setting of its element is selected.

NOTE

In addition to the above, piano tones also have a KEY OFF SIMULATOR.

Your digital piano comes equipped with three pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto

Pedal Functions

Damper Pedal Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a long time. When a GRAND PIANO tone (CONCERT,

MODERN, CLASSIC, MELLOW, BRIGHT) is selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate (with damper resonance) just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano. Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way) is also supported.

Soft Pedal Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

Sostenuto Pedal Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

1. Press the METRONOME button. This starts the metronome. The lamp above the SONG a button flash in time

with the metronome beat.

2. To change the beat, hold down the FUNCTION button as you press one of the METRONOME BEAT keys to select a beat setting.

You can specify beats per measure value of 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Specifying 0 as the setting plays a straight click, without any chime. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat.

3. While holding down the FUNCTION button, use the TEMPO keys to specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to 255 beats per minute.

Each press of the + or key raises or lowers the tempo value by 1.

You can use the value input keys (0 to 9) to enter a specific three-digit. Be sure to input all three digits.

Example: To enter 96, press keys 0, 9, 6.

You can use the Duet Mode to split the pianos keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.

The left and right side keyboards have virtually the same range. The left pedal operates as the left side damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side damper pedal.

The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons, with the teacher playing on the left side as the student playing the same song on the right side.

NOTE

Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard supports half-pedal operations.

1. Select the piano tone you want to use for the duet. Example: GRAND PIANO (MODERN)

2. While holding down the FUNCTION button, press the METRONOME button to toggle duet on (lamp lit) and off (lamp unlit).

USB Flash Drive and USB Flash Drive Port Handling Precautions

IMPORTANT!

Be sure to observe the precautions provided in the documentation that comes with the USB flash drive.

Avoid using a USB flash drive under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the USB flash drive. Areas subjected to high temperature, high

humidity, or corrosive gas Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and

digital noise Never remove the USB flash drive while data is

being written to or loaded from it. Doing so can corrupt the data on the USB flash drive and damage the USB flash drive port.

Never insert anything besides a USB flash drive into the USB flash drive port. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

A USB flash drive can become warm after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Static electricity conducted to the USB flash drive port from your hand or from a USB flash drive can cause malfunction of the digital piano. If this happens, turn the digital piano off and then back on again.

IMPORTANT!

Never plug any other device besides a USB flash drive into the USB flash drive port.

When you plug in a USB flash drive, the Digital Piano initially needs to mount the USB flash drive and prepare for data exchange. Note that Digital Piano operations are momentarily disabled while a USB flash drive mounting sequence is being performed. The Digital Pianos L/R lamps flash while the mounting process is in progress. It may take up to 10 or 20 seconds or even longer for a USB flash drive to be mounted. Do not attempt to perform any operation on the Digital Piano while a mounting sequence is in progress (while L/R lamps are flashing).

Getting Ready

Your digital piano runs on standard household power. Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using the digital piano.

Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this digital piano. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction of the digital piano. Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24250LW Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC

adaptor.

About the AC adaptor that comes with the Digital Piano

Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the AC adaptor and power cord. Never pull on the cord with excessive force. Never repeatedly pull on the cord. Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or

connector. Before moving the digital piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it

around the AC adaptor.

IMPORTANT!

Never connect the AC adaptor that comes with this digital piano to any other device besides this piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

Make sure the digital piano is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

NOTE

Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you dont, you may hear sound from only one side of the headphones.

If the plug of the headphones you are using does not match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable commercially available adaptor plug.

If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you play.

You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier to the Digital Piano and then play through external speakers for more powerful volume and better sound quality.

IMPORTANT!

The Digital Piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphone output (when headphones are connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones are not connected). This also will cause a change in the output quality from the Digital Pianos LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

Whenever connecting a device to the Digital Piano, first use the VOLUME controller to set the volume to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

Whenever you connect any device to the Digital Piano, be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the device.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 1

Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment to the pianos LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 1. LINE OUT R jack output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in this configuration you must set the audio equipments input selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the piano is connected. Use the pianos VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the pianos LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 2. LINE OUT R jack output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. Connecting to the LINE OUT L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the pianos VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

IMPORTANT!

When using the LINE OUT jacks, also connect headphones to the PHONES jacks. This will switch the LINE OUT output to appropriate sound quality.

Use only accessories that are specified for use with this Digital Piano. Use of unauthorized accessories creates the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

4. Change the temperament setting to 00: Equal, which is the standard modern tuning.

E-24

Nothing happens when I press a pedal.

The pedal unit cable is not connected. Connect the cable correctly. E-41

Tones and/or effects sound strange. Turning power off and then back on again does not eliminate the problem. Example: Note intensity does not change even though I alter key pressure.

The Back up feature is turned on. Turn off Back up. Next, turn power off and then back on again.

E-25

I cannot transfer data after connecting the digital piano to a computer.

1. Check to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the digital piano and computer, and that the correct device is selected with your computers music software.

E-35

2. Turn off the digital piano and then exit the music software on your computer. Next, turn the digital piano back on and then restart the music software on your computer.

I cannot store data to a USB flash drive or load data from a USB flash drive.

See Error Indicators. E-33

It takes a long time before I can use the Digital Piano after I turn it on.

Digital Piano memory data was corrupted because a data transfer operation with a computer was in progress the last time you turned off the piano. When this happens, the Digital Piano performs a memory format operation the next time you turn it on. You cannot perform any other operation while a format operation is in progress.

It takes about 20 seconds after you turn on power to perform the memory format operation. Wait until the format operation is complete. Note that you should take care to avoid turning off the Digital Piano while a data transfer operation with a computer is in progress.

E-36

A tones quality and volume sounds slightly different depending where it is played on the keyboard.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,* and does not indicate malfunction. * Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the original

musical instrument. Because of this, there may be very slight differences in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges.

When I press a button, the note that is sounding cuts out momentarily or there is a slight change in how effects are applied.

This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer, using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which causes notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.

Important! Please note the following important information before using this product.

Before using the AD-E24250LW Adaptor to power the unit, be sure to check the AC Adaptor for any damage first. Carefully check the power cord for breakage, cuts, exposed wire and other serious damage. Never let children use an AC adaptor that is seriously damaged.

The product is not intended for children under 3 years. Use only CASIO AD-E24250LW adaptor. The AC adaptor is not a toy. Be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor before cleaning the product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean only with dry cloth. 7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.

A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as

power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

The power indicator being unlit does not mean the apparatus is completely disconnected from the MAINS. When you need to have the apparatus completely disconnected from the MAINS, you must unplug the power cord. For that purpose, locate the apparatus in a way that secures easy access to the power cord.
