Convenient Functions
NOTE
Never turn off the power while the display indicates
"Executing...." Doing so will damage the HPi-6's internal
memory, making it unusable.
Using the V-LINK Function
Connecting the HPi-6 to a V-LINK compatible image device allows
you to control the images with the HPi-6.
V-LINK (
) is functionality promoted by Roland
that allows linked performance of music and visual material. By
using V-LINK-compatible video equipment, visual effects can
be easily liked to, and made part of the expressive elements of a
performance.
Refer to "Making the Settings" (p. 80) for instructions.
NOTE
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices,
always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices
before making any connections.

Disabling Functions Other
than Piano Performance
(Panel Lock)
The "Panel Lock" function locks the HPi-6 in a state where only
piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled.
This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if
children press the buttons accidentally.
In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be played. In
addition, the indicators for all of the HPi-6's buttons go out, and
nothing is displayed in the screen within the music rest.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the
minimum, and turn on the power once again.
