Getting ready to play
1. Before you start playing
1. Connect the power cable.
Plug the power cable connector into the socket
located on the bottom of the piano (
☞
p.26).
Plug the other end of the power cable into an electri-
cal outlet.
2. Open the key cover.
To open the key cover, use both hands to gently raise
the front edge of the key cover.
To close the key cover, hold the front edge and gently
pull it forward. The cover is designed to close slowly.
Do not force it shut.
The key cover may be damaged if you use
excessive force when opening or closing it.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hand while
opening or closing the key cover.
Before you open the key cover, make sure that no
foreign objects such as papers or coins are on the
top of the key cover itself. Otherwise, these
objects may fall into the instrument.
3. Turn on the power.
Press the Power switch to turn on the power.
The power indicator located at the left side will light.
To turn off the power, press the Power switch once
again. The power indicator will go dark.
4. Adjust the volume.
The Volume slider controls the volume of the built-in
speakers, the headphone jacks, and the output jacks.
Softer
Louder
Raise the Volume slider to approximately the center
position. Moving the slider toward the right will
increase the volume, and moving it toward the left
will decrease the volume. At the “0” position there
will be no sound.
Adjust the volume to an appropriate level for your
playing.
2. Using headphones with the C-6500
Insert the plug (1/4" phone plug) of your stereo head-
phones into the headphone jack located on the left side of
the bottom panel.
When the headphones are plugged in, no sound will be
heard from the built-in speakers.
You can use headphones when you do not want to be
heard by those around you, such as when practicing at
night.
There are two headphone jacks so two people can listen
through headphones at the same time, such as student
and teacher, etc...
When using headphones, protect your ears by
avoiding long periods of use at high volumes.
If you use headphones that have a 1/8"
➝
1/4"
adaptor plug, grasp the adaptor plug when
plugging-in or unplugging.
3. Using the music stand
Tilt the music stand upright, and use the two stoppers
located on the rear to hold the music stand in place.
