Digital Output
With the PC2, you can take advantage of the growing number of digital recorders and mixers on
the market. Connect a 75-Ohm coaxial cable from the PC2Õs RCA Digital Out jack to the AES or
S/PDIF input of the receiving device. You may need an RCA-to-XLR adapter to connect with the
receiving device. If the receiving device receives only optical signals, youÕll need a converter as
well.
Powering Up
When youÕve made all your connections, turn on the PC2 by pushing the side of the power
switch marked with the vertical line. All of the lights on the front panel ßash, and the liquid-
crystal display (LCD) shows a series of messages. When the PC2 is ready to play, the display
looks like this:
Bank:0||Internal||1A
000|Stereo|Grand|
Before playing, we recommend that you slide the volume control nearly to the bottom and
gradually push the control up while playing the keyboard. This way you wonÕt cause any pain
or damage if thereÕs too much gain in your sound system.
Display (LCD)
The PC2Õs 40-character liquid-crystal display tells you whatÕs going on, whether youÕre playing
or editing. Depending on your viewing angle (and possibly the temperature), you may need to
adjust the
contrast
for better visibility. ThereÕs a small black knob on the rear panel, between the
MIDI ports and the Digital Out jack. Use a screwdriver or your Þngertips to turn the knob until
you can read the display easily.
LEDs
Most of the buttons on the PC2Õs front panel contain light-emitting diodes that indicate the
status of the features that the buttons control. They should all ßash red three times as the PC2
starts up.
Software Upgrades
The PC2 contains a type of reloadable computer memory called Flash ROM, which makes
software upgrades fast and easy. You can learn about new features from your Kurzweil dealer,
or from our website (www.youngchang.com/kurzweil). See
Boot Block
on page A-3 for software-
installation instructions.
