Congratulations, you've learned all you need to know to be able to start enjoying your new digital
piano. You can put this manual away and start playing music. If you want to learn about all the
additional functionality DCP-200 has to offer (including how to play the built-in demo songs, use the
metronome, and record your own songs using the built-in Song Recorder), please continue on to the
"Additional Features" section.

If you wish to use headphones while playing by
yourself, plug your headphones into the top headphone
output (Headphone Output 1). This will automatically
turn off the speakers, so that you only hear sound
through the headphones. Volume is still controlled by
the Master Volume knob. Be sure the Master Volume is
turned down before you put on your headphones, and
then gradually turn it up to a comfortable level.
Note that plugging headphones into the bottom
headphone output (Headphone Output 2) does not
automatically turn off the speakers. Headphone
Output 2 is designed for use at times when you wish to
practice quietly together with another person (such as a
student), with both people wearing headphones. In this
case, the speakers will still remain off, since headphones
are also plugged into Headphone Output 1.
The pedal board has three pedals:
Soft Pedal (Left Pedal): When this pedal is pressed, notes
will sound slightly softer than they normally would if
played with the same force without pressing the pedal.
Sostenuto Pedal (Middle Pedal): The Sostenuto pedal
acts as a selective damper pedal by sustaining specifically
chosen notes. To use it, play and hold down a note or chord.
Then depress the sostenuto pedal. After releasing the keys,
only those notes will continue to sustain until the sostenuto
pedal is released.
Sustain Pedal (Right Pedal): When this pedal is pressed,
notes will continue to sustain even after the keys are
released.
