Owner’s Manual

Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland Digital Piano HP103e/102e.

Main Features

Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-ranging Expressiveness

The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of the hammers

striking the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand piano. Maximum polyph-

ony of 64 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without running out of notes.

In addition, this instrument features a “Grand Sound” speaker system, and simulates the full,

three-dimensional nature of a concert grand piano (Grand Space), which together help to deliver a

sound with even greater clarity and power (Dynamic Emphasis).

Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano

This instrument features a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the touch of a

grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in the upper register.

The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances to be

expressed.

Comfortable for Use with Headphones

Special effects applied to the sound when headphones are used make listening through head-

phones comfortable, not fatiguing. And in addition to an indicator on the front panel that lights up

when you connect a pair of headphones, the HP103e/102e also provides a convenient hook where

you can keep your headphones when they’re not in use.

A Variety of Helpful Practice Features and Built-in Piano Songs

A metronome function and “two-track recorder,” the built-in songs for a collection of scores (60

songs included), and other features let you experience piano lessons in ways possible only with a

digital piano.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”,

“Using the unit safely” (p. 2), and “Important notes” (p. 4). These sections provide important information

concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a

good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety.

The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

HP103e/102e – Important notes

4

Important notes

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “Using the unit safely” (p. 2), please

read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being

used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an

inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave

oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending

on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power

supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may pro-

duce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate elec-

trical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this

unit and the electrical outlet.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/

or damage to speakers or other devices.

• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the

POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the

unit has been completely disconnected from the source of

power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn

off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the

power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you

choose to connect the power cord’s plug should be one that is

within easy reach and readily accessible.

Placement

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To

alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or

move it farther away from the source of interference.

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception.

Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,

such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.

Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or

while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you

should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater

distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices

that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or other-

wise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow

lighting devices that normally are used while their light

source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light), or pow-

erful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the unit for

extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or dis-

color the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the temper-

ature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (con-

densation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction

may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition.

Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand

for several hours, until the condensation has completely

evaporated.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on

the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or

otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This

can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to pro-

duce sound.

• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.

Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exte-

rior finish.

Maintenance

• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly

dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal

amount of strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of

the wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the

finish.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind,

to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

• The pedals of this unit are made of brass.

Brass eventually darkens as the result of the natural oxidiza-

tion process. If the brass becomes tarnished, polish it using

commercially available metal polisher.

Additional Precautions

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s but-

tons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and

connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the con-

nector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will

avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal ele-

ments.

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during nor-

mal operation.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s

volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use head-

phones, so you do not need to be concerned about those

around you (especially when it is late at night).

• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in shock-absor-

bent material. Transporting the unit without doing so can

cause it to become scratched or damaged, and could lead to

malfunction.

• Do not apply undue force to the music rest while it is in use.

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using

some other make of connection cable, please note the follow-

ing precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use

cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit.

The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be

extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on

cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

• Before opening or closing the keyboard lid, always make sure

that no pets or other small animals are located on top of the

instrument (in particular, they should be kept away from the

keyboard and its lid). Otherwise, due to the structural design

of this instrument, small pets or other animals could end up

getting trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered,

you must immediately switch off the power and disconnect

the power cord from the outlet. You should then consult with

the retailer from whom the instrument was purchased, or

contact the nearest Roland Service Center.

Connecting Headphones

The HP103e/102e has two jacks for plugging in headphones.

This allows two people to listen through headphones simul-

taneously, making it very useful for lessons and when per-

forming piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this

allows you to play without having to worry about bothering

others around you, even at night.

Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located

at the bottom left of the piano.

When headphones are connected, the [ (Headphones)]

indicator (p. 6) lights up, and sounds stop playing from

the speakers of the HP103e/102e.

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob

(p. 9) of the HP103e/102e.

Some notes on using headphones

• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only

by the headset or the plug.

• Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected

equipment is turned up may result in damage to the head-

phones. Lower the volume on the HP103e/102e before plug-

ging in the headphones.

• Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only

damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss.

Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.

■

Using the Headphones Hook

Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can

hang them on the headphone hook at the lower left of the

HP103e/102e.

Attaching the Headphone Hook

Press and twist the headphone hook included with the

HP103e/102e into the hole in the bottom of the HP103e/

102e (refer to the figure below). Turn the wing nut of

headphone hook to secure the headphone hook.

Turning the Power On and

Off

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to

your various devices in the order specified. By turning on

devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction

and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

To turn the power on, turn the [Volume] knob all

the way down, and then press the [Power On]

switch.

The power will turn on, and the Power indicator at the

left front of the HP103e/102e will light.

After a few seconds, you will be able to play the keyboard

to produce sound.

Use the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume.

About the Pedals

The pedals have the following functions, and are used

mainly for piano performance.

Damper pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even

after you take your fingers off the keys.

On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal

will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy

with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, add-

ing a rich resonance.

The HP103e/102e simulates this damper resonance.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were

already played when you pressed the pedal.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

When you hold down this pedal and play the keyboard,

the sound will have a softer tone.

About the Adjuster

When you move the HP103e/102e or if you feel that the ped-

als are unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals

as follows.

❍ Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact

with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and

the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular when

placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the

pedals firmly contact the floor.

You can change the amount of resonance applied with

the damper pedal. Please refer to “Changing the

Damper Pedal’s Resonance” on page 25.

Soft Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Damper Pedal

NOTE

If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift

either the left or right side of the stand to make it easier

for another person to turn the adjuster and make the

adjustment.

After adjusting the adjuster, press the pedals, and if

the front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that

it makes firm contact with the floor.

Always readjust the adjuster after moving the piano.

Applying Effects to the

Sound

■

Adding Reverberation to the Sound (Reverb)

By applying the reverb effect you can produce a pleasant

reverberation, making it sound as though you were per-

forming in a concert hall.

1.

Press the [Reverb] button.

The button’s indicator will light, and a reverb effect will be

applied to the sound.

To cancel the reverb effect, press the [Reverb] button, get-

ting its indicator to go dark.

■

Changing the depth of the reverb effect

The amount (depth) of the reverb effect can be set to any of

eight levels.

2.

Hold down the [Reverb] button and press the [-] or

[+] button.

The currently specified value will be displayed. Higher

values will produce a deeper effect.

Transposing the Key of the

Keyboard (Transpose)

By using the “Transpose function,” you can transpose your

performance without changing the notes you play. For exam-

ple, even if the song is in a difficult key with numerous

sharps (#) or flats (b), you can transpose it to a key that is eas-

ier for you to play.

When accompanying a vocalist, you can easily transpose the

pitch to a range that is comfortable for the singer, while still

playing the notes as written (i.e., with the same fingering

positions).

1.

Continue to hold down the [Transpose] button,

and press a note to indicate the tonic of the key to

which you want to transpose.

The button’s indicator will light, and the keyboard will be

transposed.

You can also transpose by holding down the [Transpose]

button and pressing the [-] or [+] button.

If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press the [-]

and [+] buttons simultaneously, the setting will return to

the original value (0).

This can be set in a range of -6–0–+5 (semitone steps).

For example, if you want the E pitch to sound when you

play the C key, hold down the [Transpose] button and

press the E key.

Counting from C as a reference point, one moves up four

keys, including the black keys, to reach E, thus “4” appears

in the display.

When the transpose value is set to “0,” the button’s indica-

tor will remain dark even if you press the [Transpose] but-

ton.

To cancel the transpose function, press the [Transpose]

button, extinguishing its indicator.

When you press the [Transpose] button once again, get-

ting its indicator to light, the keyboard will be transposed

to the note you specified here.

When you play back an internal song, the reverb effect

will automatically be turned on (the button’s indicator

lights).

When the power is turned on, reverb is set to “4.”

When you hold down the [Reverb] button, the cur-

rently specified reverb depth value will be displayed.
