The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. Using the Pedals The instrument has three foot pedals that produce a range of expressive effects similar to those produced by the pedals on an acoustic piano. Damper (Right) Pedal The damper pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. The damper pedal features a half-pedal function. Half-pedal function: While playing the piano with Sustain and you want to slightly mute the sustained sound, release the damper pedal from maximum position to half position. CAUTION Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss. When you press the damper pedal here, the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. To restore standard pitch Press and hold down the A-1, B-1, C0 and C#0 keys simultaneously, and press any key between C3 and B3. C#0 A-1 C0 B-1 C1 C2 C3 B3 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 subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played "staccato. " When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. Hz (Hertz): This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. ) 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. MC802 MC1202 MC1602 Owner's Manual 9 ENGLISH Troubleshooting Problem The instrument does not turn on.
