Power Supply

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

1. Make sure that the POWER button is in the OFF position (raised).

2. Connect the power cord that comes with the digital piano to the AC power jack on the bottom of the digital piano.* * AP-500V only

3. Plug the power cord into a household power outlet.

IMPORTANT! Always make sure that the POWER button is the OFF

position before plugging in or unplugging the power cord. The shape of the power cord plug and household power

outlet receptacle differ according to country and geographical area. The illustration shows just one example of the shapes that are available.

The power cord of the AP-500 is hard-wired to the digital piano.

Make sure the power lamp is completely turned off before unplugging the power cord from the power outlet. Be sure to read and observe all of the safety precautions concerning power supply.

Connections

IMPORTANT! Whenever connecting something 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.

Bottom

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to 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 jack as far as it will go. If you dont, you may hear sound from only one side of the headphones.

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). Note that this feature also affects the sound output from the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks.

Playing Output from External Equipment through the Pianos Speakers 1

LINE IN R jack input sounds through the pianos right speaker, while LINE IN L/MONO jack input sounds through the left speaker. Connecting to the LINE IN L/ MONO jack only causes the same output to be produced from both speakers. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables that are compatible with the equipment you are connecting.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment 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. 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 3

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the pianos LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 3. 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.

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.

Selecting and Playing a Tone

Your digital piano has the following types of tones built in.

1. Press the POWER button.

IMPORTANT! When you turn on the digital piano, it performs a power

up operation in order to prepare its system. The power up operation takes about 10 seconds, and is indicated by the following messages appearing on the display.

2. Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the volume level.

3. Press one of the 14 TONE buttons to select the tone you want. The names of the main tones are marked above the

TONE buttons. This will cause the lamp of the selected tones button

to light.

Example: GRAND PIANO 3

NOTE

The DSP effect (pages E-26 and E-28) will be applied if you select a tone with DSP.

Note that the digital pianos DSP resources are limited. Because of this, selecting a tone with DSP can cause notes that are currently being played to cut off (if they are being played using a tone with DSP), or it can remove the DSP effect from an operation (layer, split, demo song) that was previously assigned a tone with DSP.

Playing a Rhythm

E-17

FINGERED In the FINGERED mode, you play standard chord fingerings in the accompaniment keyboard range to play chords. To finger a C chord, for example, you would press the C-E-G keys.

FINGERED Mode Keyboard

IMPORTANT! In the FINGERED mode, the keys in the accompaniment

keyboard range of the keyboard operate as chord switches only. You cannot use the keys in this keyboard range to play notes.

You can use the split point to change the size of the accompaniment keyboard range. See To specify the keyboard split point on page E-11 for more information.

NOTE

See the Fingered Chord Chart on page A-4 for information about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment keyboard range.

*1 Inverted fingerings (see Fingered Chord Notes on page E-17) are not supported for these chords. The lowest note fingered is used as the root.

*2 For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth is not fingered

Fingered Chord Notes Except for the chords whose names have*1 after

them in the above examples, you also can use inverted fingerings. This means that fingering either E-G-C or G-C-E will produces a C chord.

Except for the chords whose names have*2 after them in the above examples, you need to press all of the indicated keys in order to finger a chord. Failure to include even a single note may produce a chord that is different from the one you want.

FULL RANGE CHORD The FULL RANGE CHORD mode lets you play a total of 38 different types of chords (the same chords available in the FINGERED mode plus 23 more). FULL RANGE CHORD recognizes the pressing of three or more keyboard keys anywhere on the keyboard as a chord fingering. Anything else (pressing one or two keys, or playing any group of notes that does not form a chord fingering that is recognized by the keyboard) is treated as melody notes.

FULL RANGE CHORD Mode Keyboard

Recognized Chords

Example: C Major or chord

NOTE

When there are at least six semitones between the lowest note and the next note to the right, the lowest note is assumed to be the bass note.

observe the instructions and precautions in the user documentation that comes with it.

SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that protects against accidental deletion of data.

Avoid using an SD memory card in the following types of areas. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card. Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity,

and corrosive gas Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and

digital noise Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when

loading it or removing it from the digital piano. Never remove the SD memory card from the digital piano

or turn off the digital piano while it is reading data from or writing data to the memory card. Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card and damage the SD memory card slot.

Using an SD Memory Card

Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into the SD memory card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

Inserting an SD memory card that carries an electrostatic charge into the SD memory card slot can cause malfunction of the digital piano. If this happens, turn the digital piano off and then back on again.

An SD memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

An SD memory card has a limited service life. After very long use, you may start to experience problems with storing data to, or reading or deleting data from the memory card. When this happens, you need to purchase a new SD memory card.

Using an SD Memory Card with the Digital Piano

When using an SD Memory card, first be sure to format the memory card on the digital piano. For details, see Formatting an SD Memory Card on page E-38.

IMPORTANT! Note that the SD memory card must be oriented correctly

when you insert it into the SD memory card slot. Trying to force the memory card into the slot can damage the card and the slot.

Never remove the SD memory card from the card slot or turn off the digital piano while any data access operation (save, recall, format) is being performed. Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card and damage the SD memory card slot.

To insert an SD memory card

1. With the SD memory card facing upwards as shown in the illustration, angle the card downwards as you insert it into the SD memory card slot. Push the card into the slot until you hear it click into

place.

To remove an SD memory card

IMPORTANT! Before removing the SD memory card, check to make

sure that the lamp above the CARD button is not lit. If the lamp is lit or flashing, it means that the card is being accessed, and that you should not remove it.

1. Press the memory card into the slot slightly and then release it. This will cause the memory card to disengage and

eject partially.

2. Pull the memory card out of the slot.
