Playing with the Silent Piano™
Function
This instrument can be played both as a normal acoustic piano, and also as a Silent Piano™. Enabling the Silent
Piano™ function lets you take advantage of a variety of powerful functions—such as playing preset Voices built
into unit and recording your performances. Try out the Silent Piano™ function and explore the possibilities.
Using the Silent Piano™ function
1 Plug the headphones into the [PHONES] jack (page 15).
2
Rotate the [VOLUME] control to the far-left
position to set the volume to minimum.
3
Press the [P] (Standby/On) switch to turn the power on.
4
(For models equipped with a sostenuto pedal)
Pull the silencing lever towards you until
you hear a click and feel the mechanism
catch.
(For models not equipped with a sostenuto pedal)
Press the center pedal and slide it to the
left.
This prevents the hammers from actually striking
the strings.
5
While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by rotating the [VOLUME]
control.
Rotating to the right increases the volume, while rotating to the left decreases it.
NOTE
The physical sound of the keyboard mechanism remains even when the Silent Piano™ function is active.
