3.6 Turning the power on/off

Turn on power to your various devices in the order
specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order,
you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speak-
ers and other devices.
To turn the power on, turn the [Volume] knob all the
way down, and then press the [Power] button.
The power will turn on, and the Power indicator at the
left front of the KR-11 will light.
After a few seconds, you will be able to play the key-
board to produce sound.
Use the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume.
The KR-11 is equipped with a protection circuit. A
brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is
required before the unit will operate normally.

3.8 About the pedals

The KR-11 comes with two pedals that are built into
the supplied stand:
Soft pedal
Soft pedal— This pedal softens the sound. Playing
with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is
not as strong as when played with the equivalent
strength. This is the same function as the left-most
pedal on an acoustic piano.
Note: You can change the left pedal's function (see page 47).
Damper pedal— Use this pedal when you want the
sound to linger on. While the damper pedal is
depressed, the sound from the keyboard continues to
linger for an extended period, even when you remove
your fingers from the keys.
This is the same function as the right-most pedal on
an acoustic piano.
About the adjuster
When you move the KR-11 or if you feel that the ped-
als are unstable, set the adjuster located below the ped-
als as follows.
Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm con-
tact with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals
and the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particu-
lar when placing the instrument on a carpet, adjust
this so that the pedals firmly contact the floor.
