     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. 
    Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power  lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. 
    When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

    dard stereo headphones. If you are using only one set 
    of headphones, insert a plug into either jack, shutting 
    off the speakers.
    To amplify the instrument’s sound, you can connect a 
    stereo system to the AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks via

    							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).

    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.

    Selecting a Voice
    Voice NameDescription
    GRAND PIANO 1
    Sampled from a concert grand piano. It 
    uses different samples depending on the 
    playing strength and produces smoother 
    tonal changes. Suitable not only for classi-
    cal compositions but also for any style 
    music.
    GRAND PIANO 2Spacious and clear piano with bright 
    reverb. Good for popular music.
    E. PIANO 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM 
    synthesis. Good for standard popular 
    music.
    E. PIANO 2 A slightly brighter electronic piano sound 
    than E. PIANO 1. Good for standard popu-
    lar music.
    E. PIANO 3 Vintage electric piano sound of hammer-
    struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when 
    played lightly, and an aggressive tone 
    when played hard.
    E. PIANO 4 Another vintage electric piano sound dif-
    ferent from E. PIANO 3 often heard in rock 
    and popular music.
    JAZZ ORGAN A “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often 
    heard in jazz and rock music.
    PIPE ORGAN A typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet 
    + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the 
    Baroque period.
    ROCK ORGAN Bright and edgy electric organ sound. 
    Good for rock music.
    VIBRAPHONE Played with relatively soft mallets. The 
    tone becomes more metallic the harder 
    you play.
    STRINGS Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings 
    ensemble with realistic reverb. Try com-
    bining this Voice with piano in the Dual 
    mode.
    HARPSI-
    CHORD The definitive instrument for baroque 
    music. Authentic harpsichord sound, with 
    plucked strings, no touch response, and 
    characteristic key-release sound.
    WOOD BASS An upright bass played fingerstyle. Ideal 
    for jazz and Latin music.
    E. BASS For a wide range of music styles, jazz, 
    rock, popular, and more.
