Connections  
IMPORTANT!  
Connecting Audio Equipment  
or an Amplifier  
You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier  
to the digital piano and then play through external  
speakers for more powerful volume and better sound  
quality.  
• Whenever connecting something to the digital piano, first  
use the VOLUME controller to set the volume to a low  
level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the  
level you want.  
Connecting Headphones  
IMPORTANT!  
• The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to  
optimize for headphone output (when headphones are  
connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones  
are not connected). Note that this feature also affects the  
sound output from the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks.

means you can practice even late at night without  
bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure  
that you do not set the volume level too high when  
using headphones.

NOTE  
LINE IN R jack input sounds through the piano’s right  
speaker, while LINE IN L/MONO jack input sounds  
through the left speaker. Connecting to the LINE IN L/  
MONO jack only causes the same output to be  
produced from both speakers. It is up to you to  
purchase connecting cables that are compatible with  
the equipment you are connecting.  
• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES  
jack as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound  
from only one side of the headphones.

Connections  
Connecting to Audio Equipment 2  
Use commercially available cables to connect the  
external audio equipment to the piano’s LINE OUT  
jacks as shown in Figure 2. LINE OUT R jack output is  
right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack  
output is left channel sound. It is up to you to purchase  
connecting cables like the ones shown in the  
illustration for connection of audio equipment.  
Normally in this configuration you must set the audio  
equipment’s input selector to the setting that specifies  
the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the piano is  
connected. Use the piano’s VOLUME controller to  
adjust the volume level.  
Connecting to a Musical Instrument  
Amplifier 3  
Use commercially available cables to connect the  
amplifier to the piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in  
Figure 3. LINE OUT R jack output is right channel  
sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack output is left  
channel sound. Connecting to the LINE OUT L/  
MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It  
is up to you to purchase connecting cable like the one  
shown in the illustration for connection of the  
amplifier. Use the piano’s VOLUME controller to  
adjust the volume level.  
Bundled and Optional  
Accessories  
Use only accessories that are specified for use with this  
digital piano.  
Use of unauthorized accessories creates the risk of fire,  
electric shock, and personal injury.

operation takes about 10 seconds, and is indicated by  
the following messages appearing on the display.  
NOTE  
• The DSP effect (pages E-26 and E-28) will be applied if  
you select a tone with DSP.  
• Note that the digital piano’s DSP resources are limited.  
Because of this, selecting a tone with DSP can cause notes  
that are currently being played to cut off (if they are  
being played using a tone with DSP), or it can remove the  
DSP effect from an operation (layer, split, demo song)  
that was previously assigned a tone with DSP.

How to Play Chords  
IMPORTANT!  
• In the CASIO CHORD mode, the keys in the  
accompaniment keyboard range of the keyboard operate  
as “chord switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this  
keyboard range to play notes.  
• You can use the split point to change the size of the  
accompaniment keyboard range. See “To specify the  
keyboard split point” on page E-11 for more information.  
The way you finger chords depends on the current  
Auto Accompaniment mode. If you want to play  
without Auto Accompaniment, use the NORMAL  
mode.  
CASIO CHORD  
Even if you do not know how to play chords normally,  
this mode lets you play four different types of chords  
using simplified fingerings in the accompaniment  
keyboard range of the keyboard. The following shows  
where the accompaniment keyboard range is located,  
and explains how to finger chords in the CASIO  
CHORD mode.

Fingered Chord Notes  
FINGERED  
• Except for the chords whose names have*1 after  
them in the above examples, you also can use  
inverted fingerings. This means that fingering either  
E-G-C or G-C-E will produces a C chord.  
• Except for the chords whose names have*2 after  
them in the above examples, you need to press all of  
the indicated keys in order to finger a chord. Failure  
to include even a single note may produce a chord  
that is different from the one you want.  
In the FINGERED mode, you play standard chord  
fingerings in the accompaniment keyboard range to  
play chords. To finger a C chord, for example, you  
would press the C-E-G keys.  
FINGERED Mode Keyboard  
Accompaniment  
keyboard range  
Melody keyboard range  
FULL RANGE CHORD  
The FULL RANGE CHORD mode lets you play a total  
of 38 different types of chords (the same chords  
available in the FINGERED mode plus 23 more). FULL  
RANGE CHORD recognizes the pressing of three or  
more keyboard keys anywhere on the keyboard as a  
chord fingering. Anything else (pressing one or two  
keys, or playing any group of notes that does not form  
a chord fingering that is recognized by the keyboard) is  
treated as melody notes.  
IMPORTANT!  
• In the FINGERED mode, the keys in the accompaniment  
keyboard range of the keyboard operate as “chord  
switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this keyboard  
range to play notes.  
• You can use the split point to change the size of the  
accompaniment keyboard range. See “To specify the  
keyboard split point” on page E-11 for more information.

Connecting to a Computer  
Connecting to the MIDI  
Terminal  
Connecting to the USB Port  
The digital piano’s USB port makes it quick and simple  
to connect to a computer.  
You can install a USB MIDI driver from the CD-ROM  
that comes bundled with the digital piano onto a  
computer equipped with a USB port. After that, you  
can connect the digital piano to your computer and run  
commercially available MIDI software on your  
computer to exchange MIDI data with the digital  
piano. You also can use the USB connection to transfer  
files you downloaded from the CASIO MUSIC SITE  
from your computer to the digital piano.  
What is MIDI?  
MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors  
that allows musical instruments, computers, and other  
devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data  
with each other.  
NOTE  
For details about MIDI implementation, visit:  
You will need a commercially available USB cable to  
connect a computer to the digital piano’s USB port.  
MIDI Connections  
To connect to a computer using the USB  
port  
Connecting your computer or other external MIDI  
device to the digital piano’s MIDI THRU/OUT/IN  
terminals makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI  
messages. You also can playback notes you play on the  
digital piano on the connected device.  
There is a third MIDI terminal named MIDI THRU,  
which passes any MIDI messages received by the  
MIDI IN terminal on to another device.  
On the computer to which you plan to  
1.  
connect, install the USB MIDI driver from the  
CD-ROM that comes bundled with the digital  
piano.  
NOTE  
Bottom  
Before installing the USB MIDI driver, be sure to read the  
contents of the “readme.txt” file in the “English” folder  
on the bundled CD-ROM.

PREPARATION  
Before starting assembly, check to make sure that you  
have all the parts shown below. You can find the screws  
in a plastic bag inside of the polystyrene foam packing  
material.  
This stand does not include any of the tools required for  
assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large Philips head  
(+) screwdriver for assembly.  
This stand should be assembled by two people working  
together.  
This stand should be assembled on a flat surface.  
Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover in  
place until assembly is complete. Removing the tape can  
cause the keyboard cover to open and close during  
assembly, creating the risk of personal injury to your  
hands and fingers.  
Take care that you do not pinch your fingers between  
parts when assembling them.
