YDP-163/YDP-143 Owner’s Manual
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
instrument features an Auto Power Off function
that automatically turns the power off if the
instrument is not operated for approximately 30
minutes. If you do not want to use the Auto Power
Off function, disable the function as described
below. The setting (disabled or enabled) is retained
even if the power is turned off.
Default setting:
Enabled
Disabling the Auto Power Off function
When the instrument is turned off
While holding down the A-1 key (the lowest key),
press the [
P
] (Standby/On) to turn the instrument
on. The [REC] indicator flashes three times,
indicating the Auto Power Off function has been
disabled.
When the instrument is turned on
While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and
[PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A
♯
5
key.
Enabling the Auto Power Off function
While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and
[PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A5 key.
Since this instrument is equipped with two
[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of
standard stereo headphones. If you are using only
one set of headphones, insert a plug into either
jack, which automatically shuts off the speakers.
CAUTION
Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended
period of time; doing so may cause hearing loss.
Reproducing a natural sense of distance
(Stereophonic Optimizer)
The Stereophonic Optimizer gives you the feeling
of playing an actual acoustic piano — even though
you’re listening through headphones. Normally, the
sound comes out from headphones sounds very
close to your ears. However, this Stereophonic
Optimizer effect recreates a natural distance or the
sense of physical space between your ears and the
instrument, just as when playing an acoustic piano.
Default setting:
On
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the A
♯
0 key to turn the function on. Press the A0 key
while holding down [PIANO/VOICE] to turn the
function off.
