2 Enjoy Playing the Piano
This instrument can be played in the following modes depending on the circumstances and your personal preferences.
• Acoustic mode: You can play as a normal acoustic piano (see below).
• Quiet mode: You can play with the acoustic piano sound muted and listen to a digital sound through the headphones
(page 18).
• TransAcoustic mode: You can play with a digital sound and hear it through the resonance of the piano soundboard by
means of TransAcoustic technology (page 20). The acoustic piano sound is muted.
• Layer mode: You can play with a digital sound layered over the acoustic piano sound (page 21).
When the instrument is in the Quiet mode, TransAcoustic mode, or Layer mode, you can use various functions such as
playing with preset Voices or recording your performances. These functions can be used only when the power is turned
on. If you simply want to play in the Acoustic mode, turning on the power is not necessary.
Playing as an acoustic piano (Acoustic mode)
If you want to play the instrument as a normal acoustic piano, turning on the power is not necessary; simply play the
piano with the power turned off. If you are using an upright piano, or a grand piano equipped with a silencing lever, make
sure that the silencing lever or the silencing pedal is in the following position.
For pianos with a silencing lever:
Pull the silencing lever forward to return it to the back position.
For upright pianos without a silencing lever:
Press the silencing pedal (center pedal) to slide it to the right.
For grand pianos without a silencing lever:
No operations are required.
To play with the acoustic piano sound while the power is turned on, press the [VOLUME] control to turn off the
digital sounds.
On grand pianos without a silencing lever, the [Aco.] lamp lights up and the Voice is automatically set to “---”
(page 22).
On pianos with a silencing lever or a silencing pedal, make sure that the Voice is set to “---,” and then move the
silencing lever or silencing pedal to the position as shown above.
NOTE
Pressing the [VOLUME] control again turns on the digital sounds allowing you to play in the Quiet mode. For details, refer to page 18.
