Internal Setup and Connections
1. Connecting the Power
Connect the DC plug of the supplied AC
adapter to the DC9V jack on the rear panel,
then connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the
cord hook so that the plug won’t be re-
moved from the jack accidentally. When
you unhook the cord, don’t pull the cord
with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that’s in-
cluded. Using other AC adapters may
cause the unit to malfunction.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate
voltage.
2. Turning the microPIANO
• Li the lid and securely support it using the lid prop.
Be careful not to pinch your ngers when you prop up
or close the lid.
• Press the power switch located on the front right of the top
panel to turn on the power.
The power LED will light up.
• To turn the power o, press the power switch again.
The power LED and the power to the unit will turn o.
To take advantage of the acoustic characteristics of the mi-
croPIANO, we recommend that you use the unit with the lid
propped up.
3. Adjust the volume
• Rotate the VOLUME knob clockwise to raise the volume
level. Rotate it counter-clockwise to lower the level.
The VOLUME knob controls the output level of the built-in
speakers and the headphones jacks.
■ Using headphones
When you plug in the headphones, the built-in speakers
will be muted. This is useful when you want to play the
keyboard in the evening without bothering your family or
neighbors.
Insert the stereo headphone plug into one of the PHONES
jacks on the rear panel.
If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug,
be sure to hold the adapter plug when you connect or dis-
connect the headphones.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-
volume sounds for a long period of time through the
headphones.
■ Using a Damper Pedal
You can use an optional KORG PS-1 or PS-3 pedal as a
damper pedal by connecting it to the DAMPER SW jack on
the rear panel.
While you press down on the pedal, the note will sustain
as it would on a traditional piano, creating a rich, lingering
sound.
You can also use an optional DS-1H damper pedal. The
pedal’s half-damp function can be used only for the Grand
Piano preset sound.
■ Connecting audio components
You can use the PHONES jack as a line-out to connect the
microPIANO to powered speakers or audio components. For
such connections, use commercially-available cables that are
appropriate for the components that you’re using.
Before connecting the audio components, make sure that
you turn o the power to the unit as well as the audio
components. Otherwise, malfunctions or damage to the
unit or components may occur.
■ Using the unit with batteries
Remove the battery case cover that’s located in the center
of the top panel, then insert six AA alkaline batteries (or
NiMH baeries) into the baery case in the correct orienta-
tion as shown in the gure below.
 Before you insert or replace the baeries, be sure to re-
move the DC plug on the AC adapter from the DC9V jack.
Please note that baeries are not included in the package.
Do not mix new baeries with old or dierent types of
baeries.
Battery case cover
When you replace the battery cover, be sure
to push this part firmly until it clicks and locks.
Replacing batteries
A ashing power LED indicates that the baeries are nearly
exhausted. Replace the baeries with new ones.
If baery power decreases, sounds from the microPIA-
NO may become distorted.
Remove old batteries immediately. Otherwise, battery
leakage may occur, resulting in a malfunction. If you
don’t think that you’ll be using the unit for a long period
of time, remove the baeries.
