Selecting the Soft or Sostenuto function

DP-6 or BOSS FS-5U) connected to the Pedal [Soft] socket 
can also be used as Sostenuto pedal.

 in step

board, the sound will have a softer tone.

Stn

of the keys that were already played when you pressed 
the pedal.

Disabling everything except 
piano play (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the ep-760 in a state 
where only piano performance can be used, and all but-
tons will be disabled. This prevents the settings from 
being inadvertently modified even if children press the 
buttons accidentally.
In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can 
be played.

A

Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the 
[Power] switch to turn off the power.

B

Hold down the [Piano] button, and press the [Power] 
switch to turn on the power.

Then, continue to hold down these two buttons for a few 
seconds.

The following display will appear.

All buttons are disabled

. When you play the keyboard, 

the grand piano sound will be heard.

You can adjust the volume, though.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume 
down to the minimum, and turn on the power once 
again.
