Before You Play
The power to this unit will be turned o automatically
after a predetermined amount of time has passed
since it was last used for playing music, or its buttons
or controls were operated (Auto O function). If you
do not want the power to be turned o automatically,
disengage the Auto O function (p. 3).
5 When the power is turned o, any settings you were editing
will be lost. You must save settings that you want to keep.
5 To restore power, turn the power on again.
Turning the power on/o
Press the [L] (power) button to turn on the power.
Long-press the [L] (power) button to turn the power o.
* Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume
down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some
sound when switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
Adjusting the Volume
Use the two volume buttons to adjust the volume.
[
] (volume +) button: raises the volume.
[
] (volume -) button: lowers the volume.
These buttons adjust the built-in speaker volume when
you are using the speakers, and the buttons adjust the
headphones volume when headphones are connected.
* The indicators to the right of the buttons light up according to the
volume (more lights = louder volume). When all of the indicators
are lit, the volume is at maximum. When all of the indicators are o,
no sound is heard.
Changing the Settings
Hold down the [ ] (settings) button and press the keys
to switch between the various functions.

Use caution when opening and
closing the cover
Be especially careful not to get your ngers pinched in the gaps
in the folding mechanism when opening or closing the keyboard
cover!
Your ngers may get jammed in the gaps if you try to push the
cover down to close it, which is very dangerous.
Also, the piano itself may tip over if you push on the cover when
trying to open it. Make sure that you’re holding only the edge of the
cover when you open and close it.
Using the Pedals
By pressing the pedals, you can apply eects to the sound of the piano.
The pedals on Roland pianos work the same as typical grand piano pedals.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Damper pedal
Damper pedal
(right)
While this pedal is held down, the notes sustain without a break
in the sound, even if you take your ngers o the keys. The
resonance of the sound is aected by how deeply you press
the pedal.
* The higher notes of the piano (from the highest key
down around 1½ octaves) linger for a while after you
play them even if the pedal is not pressed, like a grand
piano.
Sostenuto pedal
(center)
When you play a note and then press this pedal before releasing
the keys, the sound sustains for only those keys.
* This has no eect on notes that you play after pressing
the pedal.
Soft pedal
(left)
This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the
soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong
as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. The
softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which
you press the pedal.
* As this is a rather subtle eect, it may be dicult
to notice when playing certain tones or in certain
performance situations.
* When operating the pedal, take care not to pinch your ngers between the
moving part and the piano unit. In places where small children are present,
make sure that an adult provides supervision and guidance.
