Chapter 2
Getting Started
This chapter will help you hook up your Stage Piano and learn its basic functions.
Unpacking the Instrument
The box that your Stage Piano ships in contains the following:
¥ The Stage Piano
¥ AC Adapter (12V DC, 0.5A)
¥ Single switch pedal
¥ Four adhesive-backed rubber feet
¥ This manual
¥ Warranty card
Be sure to keep the box and packing materials, at least during the warranty period, in
case you need to ship the unit for any reason.
Quick Start
We recommend that you read through this whole chapter at some point. However, if
you want to start exploring your new instrument right away, follow these steps:
1. Carefully remove all the contents of the box.
2. Set the Stage Piano on a keyboard stand or table. For optimum stability,
particularly of the 88-key model, make sure the ends are supported, not just the
middle.
3. Turn the power switch (at the rear of the unit) off then plug the power adapter
into the unit and into the wall. If youÕre not in the USA, check that the line-
voltage rating of the adapter matches line voltage in your area.
4. Plug a pair of headphones into the Phones jack on the back of the unitÑor
connect the Left and Right audio outputs to your audio system or mixer. The
outputs are unbalanced
line-level
(approximately 1V), so use the line or aux
inputs to your audio system.
5. Plug the included switch pedal into the rear panel jack marked Switch Pedals.
6. Turn the power switch to the On position. The display and all of the LEDs
should light brießy, then the Internal Voices and Grand Piano LEDs should
light.
7. Play away. Use the Volume/Controller slider or your audio systemÕs volume
control to vary the volume. Press a sound/setup select button once to hear the
red sound; twice to hear the green. See
on page 2-11 if you donÕt understand about red and green sounds.
