Checking the connection of the headphones

The headphones icon will appear in the status bar of the

touchscreen display.

Attaching the headphone hook (optional)

A headphone hook is included with the CA99/CA79 digital piano

and can be used to hang headphones when not in use.

If desired, attach the headphone hook to the underside of the

keyboard as shown in the illustration.

Do not attempt to place heavy items onto the

headphone hook.

Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

Preparation

Using Pedals

As with a grand piano, the CA99/CA79 digital piano features three pedals: damper, sostenuto, and soft.



Damper pedal (right pedal)

Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have

been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching the piano

sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages.

The damper pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Soft pedal

Sostenuto pedal

Damper pedal



Soft pedal (left pedal)

Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.

The soft pedal is also capable of responding to half pedaling.

When the rotary speaker eect is selected, the soft pedal is also

used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between

“Slow” and “Fast” eect modes.



Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before

releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that

have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after

the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.



Pedal support bolt

A pedal support bolt is attached to the base of the pedal board

to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.

Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the oor

and supports the pedals rmly. If the pedal support bolt does

not make proper contact with the oor, the pedal board may

become damaged.

When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal support bolt,

then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.



Caring for the pedals

If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.

Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or les.



Grand Feel Pedal System

The CA99/CA79 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the position and individual weighting of the

damper, soft, and sostenuto pedals of a Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano. It is also possible to adjust the sensitivity of the

damper pedal, and the eectiveness of the soft pedal using the “Half-Pedal Adjust” and “Soft Pedal Depth” settings.
