USING THE ANYTIME PIANO WITH YOUR HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

The Kawai Anytime Piano is equipped with Audio In and Out jacks so that you can connect it to your home

stereo, CD player, Karaoke machine or other device. As an example, you might play your favorite compact disc

song and practice along on the Anytime Piano. Or you can "layer" together acoustic piano sound with the

sound of a vibraphone coming out of external powered speakers that you connect to the unit. The following

are examples of advanced uses for the Anytime Piano.

To hear the Anytime Piano's digital sound through external loudspeakers, connect your home stereo unit or

amplifier and speakers to the Anytime Piano as shown (see Fig. 4). You'll need an audio cable with RCA pin

plug at one end and plug appropriate for your equipment at the other. Note that the Anytime Piano will only

produce amplified sound when it is connected to an amplifier. Speakers alone will not produce amplified

sound (unless they are powered speakers).

hear both acoustic sound and digital sound layered

together. In this situation, you may notice that the two

types of sound are not in tune with each other. This is

because the Anytime Piano's normal acoustic sound can

need for professional tuning). To hear sound that is

You may be able to make a rough adjustment in layered tuning by yourself. The tuning function for the digital

tone generator is described on page 15 of this manual.
