Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano DP-970.
In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for many years to come, please take the time
to read through this manual in its entirety.
Main Features
Refined Wood Grain Finish, Compact
Design
Practice Functions to Support Great
Musicianship
The simple design and light wood grain finish is at
home both in the living room as well as in the children’s
room. When its lid (which descends slowly and
smoothly) is closed, the instrument presents a clean, flat
look.
The instrument includes not only a metronome but also
a “Two-Track Recorder,” which lets you record and
check what you practice, along with a variety of other
piano lesson features that are possible only with a
digital piano.
And its compact design, with a depth of only about 300
millimeters, allows it to fit in perfectly with other
furniture.
66 Piano Songs Built-In
The 66 internal songs, featuring primarily classical
pieces, also include compositions you can use for
listening enjoyment as well as for lessons.
Piano Tones with Rich Resonance and
Broad Expression
Featuring a piano sound generator that employs stereo
sampling and accurately reproduces the true sound of
the piano, even down to the sound of the hammers
striking the strings, this instrument provides a high-
quality, concert grand piano sound.
With 64-voice polyphony, the sound generator handles
the most robust performances with ease, even
performances during which the pedals are used
extensively.
High-Performance Two-Box Speaker
Construction
The lateral speaker box features two independent left
and right speaker boxes, providing superior volume
and sonic quality beyond what one would expect for
this class of instrument.
The speakers can also be directed rearward if conditions
require.
This instrument also reproduces the concert grand
piano’s sonic depth (3D) along with improved clarity
and power (Dynamic Emphasis).
Perform in Comfort, Even with
Headphones
A special effect is applied when headphones are used
allowing you to listen to sounds comfortably and
without getting fatigued. In addition, the DP-970 also
features a panel lamp that lights to indicate when
headphones are connected and a headphone hook on
which to place the headphones when they are not in
use.
Authentic Piano Performances
High-quality concert grand piano tones, along with a
keyboard that offers a more realistic piano touch by
providing a heavier feel in the low end and a lighter feel
in the upper notes, combine to let you enjoy truly
authentic piano performances.
The Soft pedal, Sostenuto pedal, and Damper pedal are
securely attached to the piano, ensuring precision
nuance in performances.
Checking the Included Items
Check to see if you have all of the items that normally are supplied with the DP-970.
If any items are missing, please contact the dealer where you purchased this unit.

Assembling the DP-970
Make sure that another person is on hand to help with the assembly and setup.
To move the piano, lift it carefully—all the while keeping it level. Be very careful, when you
assemble and move the piano, to make sure that you do not drop it on your hands or feet.
Should you remove screws, cord clamps, or stabilizer, make sure to put them in a safe place out
of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
1. Secure the left side board to the speaker box with
the attachment screws (in two places).
■ Check the Parts
Before you begin assembling the DP-970, check that all the
parts were supplied.
Attach so that the speaker cord at the rear of the speaker
box is directed to the right.
You will also need to have a Phillips screwdriver.

Playing Along with the Internal Songs
You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately.
If you turn on the metronome
while the song plays back, the
metronome will sound at the
beat and tempo of the song.
Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the
song.
For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a Song and Playing It” (p. 15).
Changing the Tempo
Some of the internal songs
have tempos that change
during the song.
If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice
it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice.

of the song (the tempo before you modified it).
■ Adding a Count-in to Match the Timing (Count-In)
When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in
time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.”
On the DP-970, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two
measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.

■ Changing the Temperament
You can play classical styles such as Baroque using historic
temperaments (tuning methods).
For details on each function, refer to the explanations
below.
Today, compositions are generally created with equal
temperament in mind and are played using equal
temperament. However in past ages of classical music, a
variety of temperaments were used. Playing a composition
with its original tuning lets you enjoy the sonorities of the
chords that the composer originally intended.
If you press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously, the
value will return to the power-up default setting.
The procedure differs from that for Song Backup.

Error Messages/Other Messages
Case
Cause/Remedy
Case
Cause/Remedy
On an acoustic piano, notes in the upper
one and a half octaves of the keyboard
continue to sound until they decay
naturally, regardless of the damper pedal.
There is a difference in the timbre as well.
Roland pianos faithfully
simulate such characteristics of the acoustic
piano. On the DP-970, the range that is
unaffected by the damper pedal will
change depending on the Key Transpose
setting.
When listening through speakers:
Playing at loud volumes may cause
instruments near the DP-970 to
resonate.
Resonation can also occur with
fluorescent light tubes, glass doors, and
other objects. In particular, this
problem occurs more easily when the
bass component is increased, and when
the sound is played at higher volumes.
Use the following measures to suppress
such resonance.
• Place speakers so they are 10–15 cm
from walls and other surfaces.
• Reduce the volume.
• Move the speakers away from any
resonating objects.
In the upper range, the
sound changes abruptly
beyond a certain key
The bass range sounds
odd, or there is a
vibrating resonance
When listening through headphones:
Some of the more flamboyant and
effervescent piano tones feature an
ample high-end component, which
may make the sound appear to have
metallic reverberation added. Since this
reverberation becomes particularly
audible when supplemented by heavy
reverb, you may be able to diminish the
problem by reducing the amount of
reverb applied to the sound.
When listening through headphones:
Here, a different cause would be
suspect. Consult your Roland dealer or
nearest Roland Service Center.
A High-pitched whine is

When listening through speakers:
Here, a different cause (such as

Center.
