5P-105 Owner’s Manual CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautio ns include, but are not limited to, the following: • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet whe n the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them. • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. • Before connecting the instrument to othe r electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. • Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls wh ile playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Setting Up P-105 Owner’s Manual8 The [SUSTAIN] jack is for connecting the included footswitch, which works in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Also an optional FC3 foot pedal or FC4/FC5 footswitch can be connected to this jack. The FC3 lets you use the Half Pedal function.Half Pedal function (for FC3 and LP-5A/LP- 5AWH) If you are playing the piano with sustain and want a clearer, less muddled sound (especially in the bass register), let up on your foot from the pedal to half position or higher. The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting an optional LP-5A/LP-5AWH pedal unit. When connect- ing the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on an optional keyboard stand (L-85/L-85S/L- 85WH). Damper (Right) Pedal Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releas- ing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sus- tained notes. A “half-pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal. Damper Resonance This function simulates the sustain sound produced via the damper pedal on a grand piano. To turn on/off the Damper Resonance: While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [MET- RONOME/RHYTHM] simultaneously, press the G4 key (on; default) or G #4 key (off). Sostenuto (Center) Pedal If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subse- quently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.” Soft (Left) Pedal The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. Using a Footswitch • Do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. • Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the foot- switch or pedal. Using the Optional Pedal Unit • Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit. • The Damper Resonance cannot be used in Duo (page 11). NOTE LP-5A/ LP-5AWH (optional) L-85/L-85S/ L- 8 5 W H (optional) NOTE • When you select the JAZZ ORGAN or RO CK ORGAN Voice, the Left pedal func- tions to switch the rotary speed of the rotary speaker. If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained. G #4 (off) G4 (on) If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained. NOTE
