3. Adjust the volume
• Rotate theVOLUMEknobthat’slocated nexttothe powerswitch righttoward“MAX”to
raisethevolumelevel.Rotateitletoward“MIN”tolowerthelevel.(Figure2)
TheVOLUME knobcontrolstheoutputlevel of thebuilt-inspeakersandthe headphones
jacks.
Using headphones
Whenyouplugin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yourneighbors.
TheSP-170Sfeaturestwoheadphonejackssothattwopeoplecanenjoyplayingandlistening.
• InsertthestereoheadphoneplugintooneofthePHONESjacksontherearpanel.(Figure3)
Ifyourheadphonesfeatureastandard-to-miniadapterplug,besuretoholdtheadapterplug
whenyouconnectordisconnecttheheadphones.
 Toprotectyourhearing,donotlistentoloud,high-volumesoundsforalongperiodof
timethroughheadphones.
Using a Damper Pedal
YoucanusethesuppliedpedalasadamperpedalbyconnectingittotheDAMPERSWjack
ontherearpaneloftheunit.(Figure3)
Whileyoupressthepedal,thesoundwillsustain,creatingarich,lingeringsound.
Alternatively,youcanuseanoptionalDS-1Hdamperpedal.Ahalf-pedaldampereectcan
beappliedtoPiano1or2.
Connecting audio components
YoucanusethePHONESjacksasline-outjackstoconnectpoweredspeakersoraudiocom-
ponents tothekeyboard.Forsuchconnections,usecommercially-availablecables thatare
appropriateforthecomponentsthatyou’reusing.
 Beforeconnectingaudiocomponents,makesurethatyouturnothepowertotheunit
andtheaudiocomponents.Otherwise,damagetotheunitorothercomponentsmayoc-
cur.
