2 Playing with the Silent Piano™
Function
This instrument can be played both as a normal acoustic piano, and also as a Silent Piano™. Enabling the Silent
Piano™ function lets you take advantage of a variety of powerful functions—such as playing preset Voices built
into unit and recording your performances. Try out the Silent Piano™ function and explore the possibilities.
Using the Silent Piano™ function
1
Plug the headphones into the [PHONES] jack (page 16).
2
Rotate the [VOLUME] control to the far-left
position to set the volume to minimum.
3
Press the [P] (Standby/On) switch to turn the power on.
4
Activate the Silent Piano™ function by one of the following operations.
These operations prevent the hammers from actually striking the strings.
(For upright pianos equipped with a sostenuto pedal)
• Pull the silencing lever towards you until you
hear a click and feel the mechanism catch.
(For upright pianos not equipped with a sostenuto pedal)
• Press the center pedal and slide it to the left.
(For grand pianos)
• Make sure that the [Aco.] lamp is
turned off.
If the lamp is lit, press the [VOLUME] control
to turn it off.
NOTE
For grand pianos, the Silent Piano™ function is activated (the [Aco.] lamp is off) automatically, when the power of the
unit is turned on. If you want to play an acoustic piano, turn the [Aco.] lamp on by pressing the [VOLUME] control.
