Playing with digital sounds using the headphones (Quiet mode)

This lets you play with the acoustic piano sound muted and listen to the digital sound through the headphones. In this 

condition, no piano sound can be heard from the instrument. The movement of the keys is detected by the sensors and 

transmitted to the tone generator, and then the sound is output from the headphones.

NOTE

The physical sound of the keyboard mechanism remains even when playing in the Quiet mode.

1

Rotate the [VOLUME] control to the far-left position to set 

the volume to minimum.

2

Press the [

P

] (Standby/On) switch to turn the power on. 

3

Stop the acoustic piano sound (or activate the Quiet mode) by one of the following 

operations.

For pianos with a silencing lever: 

Pull the silencing lever towards you until you hear a click and feel the 

mechanism catch.

For upright pianos without a silencing lever: 

Press the silencing pedal (center pedal) and slide it to the left until it is 

locked in that position.

For grand pianos without a silencing lever: 

Make sure that the [Aco.] lamp is turned off. If the lamp is 

lit, press the [VOLUME] control to turn it off.

4

Plug the headphones into the [PHONES] jack. 

You can connect a pair of headphones to each of the two jacks. If you 

are using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks.

CAUTION

Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or 
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing 
loss.

 NOTICE 

Do not pull the cord of the headphones or apply excessive force on the 
plug. This can damage the headphones or the control unit and result in 
sound degradation.
