Introduction
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the HP203. To ensure that you obtain
the maximum enjoyment and take full advantage of the HP203’s functionality, please
read this owner’s manual carefully.
About the Manual
You should first read the “Before You Play” section of the owner’s manual (this
document). This explains how to connect the power cord and turn on the power.
This owner’s manual explains everything from basic operations that use the HP203’s
playback functions to more advanced operations, such as using the HP203 to record a
song.
Conventions in this Manual
In order to explain the operations as clearly as possible, this manual uses the following
conventions.
• Text enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicates the name of a button or a knob, such as the
[Piano] button.
NOTE
• Lines that begin with
to read.
or an asterisk * are cautionary statements that you must be sure
• The numbers of pages that you can turn to for additional, related information are given like
this: (p. **).
Main Features
Piano sounds with rich resonance and wide expressive range
This instrument features a piano sound generator that utilizes stereo sampling, so it is
capable of faithfully recreating the sound of a high-quality concert grand piano,
realistically reproducing even the finest details, including the sound of the hammers
striking the strings. With a maximum polyphony of 128 notes, it has ample capability
even for performances that make full use of pedaling.
More than three hundred different sounds covering not only piano but a wide range of
instruments are built-in. You can also play drum sets from the keyboard.

Introduction
The playing feel of a grand piano
The Progressive Hammer Action II (PHA II) action gives you a weighty playing feel in the
low register while becoming lighter in the high register, replicating the authentic feel of
a piano. The distinctive sense of click (escapement) that you experience when softly
playing a piano note is also accurately simulated, ensuring a high degree of playability.
The pedal position is detected smoothly, allowing you to vary the effect by the changing
the depth to which you press the pedal. You can take advantage of the way in which
subtle differences in pedaling will affect the sound.
A compact cabinet that fits anywhere
The newly designed cabinet is compact and exudes a sense of quality befitting a musical
instrument. It can be placed nearly anywhere, and does not occupy excessive space.
In addition to a sliding keyboard cover that will not rattle, there’s a convenient
headphone hook for storing your headphones when not in use.
The versatile functionality you expect from a digital piano
Replicating the ambience of a concert hall
In addition to a high-quality reverb effect, these instruments also feature a 3D Sound
Control function, which replicates the spatial depth of a full concert grand piano, and a
Dynamic Sound Control function, which enhances the consistency and power of the
sound. Even when performing through headphones, you can use these effects to enjoy
sounds with superb presence.
Convenient functions to help you practice, and built-in piano songs with
accompaniment
A metronome function, a three-track recorder, and internal preset songs with orchestral
accompaniment and printed piano music (sixty songs) are included, making this
electronic piano an excellent choice for piano lessons.
Performing and saving data
The data you’ve recorded using the recorder can be saved using a separately sold floppy
disk drive or USB memory. In addition to a floppy disk drive or USB memory, you can
also connect a commercially available USB-type CD drive and play back SMF music
data, music CDs, or audio files. SMF music data from USB memory, a floppy disk, or CD-
ROM can also be saved in internal memory.

Important Notes
In addition to the “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” listed on page 6, please observe the following cautions.
355b
Power Supply
• If you move this device between locations of radically different
temperature or humidity, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the device. Using the device in this condition will
cause malfunctions, so please allow several hours for the
condensation to disappear before you use the device.
301
• Do not connect this device to the same electrical outlet as an
inverter-controlled device such as a refrigerator, microwave
oven, or air conditioner, or a device that contains an electric
motor. Depending on how the other device is used, power
supply noise could cause this device to malfunction or produce
noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet,
please connect this device via a power supply noise filter.
356
• Do not allow items made of rubber or vinyl to remain on
top of this device for an extended time. This can cause
deformation or color change.

• When you turn off the power, the screen and indicators of this
• Do not affix adhesive labels to this device. The exterior
device will go dark, but this does not mean that the main power
supply is completely disconnected. If you need to completely shut
off the power supply, turn off the power switch of this device and
then unplug it from the AC outlet. Connect this device to an AC
outlet that is as close and accessible as possible.
finish may be damaged when you remove the labels.
Care
401b
• For everyday care, wipe with a soft dry cloth, or remove
stubborn dirt using a tightly wrung-out cloth. If this device
contains wooden components, wipe the entire area
following the direction of the grain. The finish may be
damaged if you continue strongly rubbing a single location.
Location
351
• If this device is placed near devices that contain large
transformers, such as power amps, hum may be induced in
this device. If this occurs, move this device farther away or
change its orientation.
Addition
• If water droplets should adhere to this device, immediately
wipe them off using a soft dry cloth.

since these can cause deformation or color change.
403
• The pedals of this device are made of brass.
Brass has a natural tendency to oxidize and become tarnished.
If this occurs, use a commercially available metal polish.

• Keep your cell phone powered off or at a sufficient distance
from this device. If a cell phone is nearby, noise may be
heard when a call is received or initiated, or during
conversation.

• Stored content may be lost due to a malfunction of the
651
device or because of inadvertent operation. You should
back up important content on USB memory as a safeguard
against such loss.
• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is
required to enable storage of large amounts of data on
such a small surface area. To preserve their integrity,
please observe the following when handling floppy disks:
• Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
• Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty areas.
• Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes
(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle).
552
• We cannot accept responsibility for the recovery of any
content lost from internal memory or USB memory, or for
the consequences of such loss.
553
• Do not apply excessive force to the buttons, knobs, or
input/output jacks, since this may cause malfunctions.
556
Recommended temperature range: 10–50 degrees C
(50–122 degrees F).
• When connecting or disconnecting cables, grasp the plug
(not the cable) to prevent short circuits or broken
connections.
• Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields,
such as those generated by loudspeakers.
557
• This device may produce a certain amount of heat, but this
is not a malfunction.
558a

• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can protect
the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that the
tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to the

• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make
• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and
sure that no pets or other small animals are located on top
of the instrument (in particular, they should be kept away
from the keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the
structural design of this instrument, small pets or other
animals could end up getting trapped inside it. If such a
situation is encountered, you must immediately switch off
the power and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
You should then consult with the retailer from whom the
instrument was purchased, or contact the nearest Roland
Service Center.
