Action
Playing the keyboard causes internal
hammers to operate, and the
vibrations may be transmitted to
the floor or walls. To minimize such
vibrations, you can move the piano
away from the wall, or lay down a
commercially available anti-vibration
mat designed for use with pianos.
If you don't need the power to turn
off automatically, turn the Auto Off
setting "Off. "
Disengage the Panel Lock setting.
Power-off the unit before you connect
or disconnect the pedal cord.
Return the pedal function (Center
Pedal, Left Pedal, Reg. Pedal Shift) to
its previous setting.
Use a USB flash drive sold by Roland.
If you connect external devices, be
sure to connect them to the same AC
outlet.

If you don't want the other sound
module to produce sound, turn your
