Starting Up
Connect the included footswitch to the [AUX PEDAL] jack. Just as with a damper pedal of a piano, pressing
the footswitch sustains notes even when you release your fingers from keyboards. Other separately sold
foot pedal FC3A or footswitch FC4A/FC5 can also be connected to this jack. The FC3A allows you to use
the Half Pedal function (page 18).
You can change the function of the pedal from [Utility] → [Pedal Setting] on Smart Pianist. Various
functions such as “Style Start/Stop” are available.
NOTE
• Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the footswitch/foot pedal.
• Do not press the footswitch/foot pedal while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch/foot
pedal, resulting in reversed operation.
A separately sold LP-1B/LP-1WH pedal unit can be connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack. When
connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the separately sold L-300B/L-300WH
keyboard stand. On the metal brackets of the L-300B/L-300WH, there are screw holes “A” and “B.” When
assembling the keyboard stand for the P-S500, make sure to use the screw holes indicated by “A” on the
metal brackets of the stand. For details, refer to the assembly manual of the stand.
NOTE
• Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit.
• Do not press the pedals while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the pedals, resulting in reversed
operation.
