input jacks on the PA mixer (or an on-stage sub-mixer)
using standard mono audio cables (sold separately).
Sound setup
Once all of the instruments and microphones have been con-
nected, the PA operator will ask each musician in turn to
play his or her instrument. You should get ready as follows.
Turn on your digital piano.
As described in the note on the previous page, first set
the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to the MIN position
and then check with the PA operator whether you can
turn on the instrument. When you get the OK, press
the [ ] Standby/On switch to turn it on.
Check your settings.
Once turned on, ensure that your digital piano is set up
as follows.
•Tuned to match the other instruments (page 41).
•Auto Power-Off function disabled (page 10).
Foot switch operating correctly as a sustain pedal (page 11).
•Reverb turned off (the PA operator will normally add the right
amount of reverb using the PA mixer).
•Sound Boost function turned on if you are finding it difficult to
make your digital piano heard within the overall mix: This func-
tion has been designed to enhance the presence of your
instrument when played in a band without making it sound any
less natural or expressive. You can choose from three different
types of sound boost. (See page 18.)
•Built-in speakers turned off if necessary: There will be no
need to use these speakers if you can hear your own sound
from an on-stage monitor speaker. (See page 44.)
Determine the best digital-piano volumes.
When asked by the PA operator to output a sound,
play the digital piano as you would when performing
and determine the best settings for the following.
•Volume when you are playing accompaniment
•Volume when you are playing loudest, such as during a key-
board solo
•Volume of each Voice to be used
Roughly speaking, the [MASTER VOLUME] slider
should be set between 5 and 7 for playing accompani-
ment and to 8 or 9 when you need to play louder. If set
too high, your sound may become distorted; if too
low, any background noise will be more noticeable.
When the volume needs to be finely adjusted for dif-
ferent Voices or raised in order to play a solo, you
should do this yourself using the [MASTER VOL-
UME] slider. Similarly, you should use the [EQ] slid-
ers to keep the tone well balanced.
Balance the overall sound of the band.
After the volumes of the various instruments have
been set, the PA operator will have everyone play
together in order to balance the overall sound of the
band. At this time, you should listen to the nearest
monitor speaker and ensure that you can hear every-
thing you need to in order to play well. If, for exam-
ple, you cannot hear your own sound, the singer, or
another instrument well enough, ask the PA operator
to raise the corresponding level in your monitor’s mix.
Lock the control panel to prevent mistakes.
Your digital piano’s Panel Lock function allows you to
temporarily disable control-panel buttons to prevent
them being operated unintentionally while perform-
ing. To activate this function, press the [EFFECT] and
[SOUND BOOST] buttons together.
Note that the following will continue to operate nor-
mally when the control panel is locked.

Performing
When playing live, try to relax and listen to your mon-
itor speaker in order to perform at your best.
• If only one of the mixer’s channels is available for use with your digital piano,
connect the [L/L+R] AUX OUT jack to the corresponding input jack using a stan-
dard mono audio cable. In this configuration, your left and right signals will be
mixed and output from the instrument in mono.
Yo ur instrument should now be fully connected. The
next step will be to balance your performance sounds.
