Cautions for safest use of this unit

Installation location

1. A well-ventilated place.

Take care not to use this unit in a place where it will not receive sufficient ventilation, and not to permit the ventilation holes to be covered by curtains, or any similar materials.

1. Place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat from heating equipment.
2. A place where humidity, vibration and dust are minimized.

Power source

1. Be sure the line voltage selector is in accordance with local voltage in your area before connecting the plug to the outlet.
2. DC power cannot be used.

Handling the power cord

1. Never touch the power cord, or its plug, with wet hands.
2. Don't pull the power cord.

Metal items inside the unit may result in electric shock or damage.

Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.

Be especially careful with regard to this point if children are near this unit. They should be warned never to try to put anything inside.

If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where the unit was purchased.

If water gets into the unit

Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

As a precaution, it is suggested that flower vases and other containers which hold liquids not be placed on the top of this unit.

If operation seems abnormal

Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so may result in additional damage or some other unexpected damage or accident.

- Because the power source is located inside the unit, it is normal for the cabinet to become warm.

A word about the power cord

If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or broken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a damaged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the power cord should never be forcibly bent.

Don't touch the inside parts of this unit.

Some places inside this unit have high voltage potential. Never try to remove the top or back panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand or with tools.

Contact someone who is qualified in order to inspect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such becomes necessary. Never attempt to do these things yourself.

Maintenance

The following suggestions will assist you in keeping the unit in top condition.

• Be sure to switch the instrument off after use, and do not switch the unit on and off in quick succession, as this places an undue load on the electronic components.
• To keep the luster of the surface and buttons, simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not use thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.
• A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet, although you will find that rubbing with a soft cloth will suffice.

■ About Standard MIDI Files

"Standard MIDI File" (SMF) is a standardized data format which makes it possible for music data to be exchanged among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of different models can be played back on this instrument, and vice versa. Note, however, that Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of data such as NOTE data (keyboard performance data), VELOCITY (how hard the keyboard is played), PROGRAM NUMBER data (voice number data), etc. Because it does not guarantee 100% faithful reproduction of recorded music which is replete with such data, it may be necessary for you to adjust the settings to your satisfaction.

• Only files with the ".MID" extension can be loaded.
• Standard MIDI File FORMAT 1 can be loaded, but not saved.
• This instrument's SEQUENCER data can be saved to a disk in Standard MIDI File (FORMAT 0) and can be used by other equipment.

Save your SEQUENCER performances

The recorded contents of the SEQUENCER are deleted approximately 80 minutes after the power is turned off. However, the Disk Drive enables you to save your performance on a floppy disk for playback anytime. Several songs can be stored on one floppy disk, making it easy to keep and organize your performances.

■ Basic outline of how to save your performances

1. Record your performance in the SEQUENCER. (Refer to page 21.)
2. Format a floppy disk if necessary. (Refer to page 32.)
3. Perform the procedure to save your recording to the floppy disk. (Refer to page 33.)
4. Play back the song from the floppy disk anytime you like.

MIDI

Front panel of a computer interface with buttons, ports, and a cursor (no text or symbols visible)

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as electronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

About the MIDI terminals

IN:

The terminal by which this instrument receives data from other equipment.

OUT:

The terminal that transmits data from this instrument to other equipment.

- For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI cable. Contact your Technics dealer for more information.

- Exchange of normal data through these terminals is enabled only when the COMPUTER terminal switch is set to MIDI. (Refer to page 42.)

graph TD
    A["PX series piano"] -->|IN| B["MIDI cable"]
    B --> C["MIDI sequencer"]
    C -->|OUT| D["End"]

MIDI channels

A single MIDI cable is used to transmit 16 channels of MIDI data. Transmitting and receiving MIDI data is enabled when the channels on the transmission wide match the channels on the receiving side. This makes it possible to specify that data from specific channels be transmitted to specific sound generators, and to have each of multiple sound generators reproduce different parts of the performance data.

■ The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.

—Key note on/off data (keyboard performance data)
— Pedal on/off data
— DIGITAL EFFECT on/off data
—PROGRAM CHANGE (sound selection change) data, etc.

- SEQUENCER and DEMO performance data cannot be transmitted.

- Data received through the MIDI terminals cannot be recorded in the SEQUENCER.

Symptoms which appear to be signs of trouble

The following changes in performance may occur in this instrument but do not indicate trouble.

	Phenomenon	Remedy
Sounds and effects	The buttons, keys, etc. malfunction.	Turn off the POWER button once, then turn it on again. If this procedure is not successful, turn off the POWER button once. Then, while pressing the INITIAL key, turn the POWER button on again. (Note that, in this case, all programmable settings, functions and memories return to their factory-preset status.)
	No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.	The MAIN VOLUME is at the minimum setting. Adjust the volume with the MAIN VOLUME control.The LOCAL CONTROL for a part performed on the keyboard is set to OFF. Set the LOCAL CONTROL to ON. (Refer to page 39.)
	Only percussive instrument sounds are produced when the keyboard is played.	The DRUM KITS sounds in the GM/OTHERS button is selected.
	The volume is very low when the keyboard is played.	The volume setting in the SEQUENCER contents is very low. Follow the INITIALIZE procedure to reset the settings. (Refer to page 35.)
SEQUENCER	The sustain does not work even when the sustain pedal is depressed.	The sustain pedal is not connected. Connect the pedal cord firmly to the PEDAL IN terminal on the back of the instrument.The remaining memory capacity of the SEQUENCER is 0. Follow the SONG CLEAR or TRACK CLEAR procedure to erase the memory. (Refer to pages 23, 28.)
	Storage is not possible.
Disk Drive	The Disk Drive produces a noise during recording or playback.	This occurs when the Disk Drive is reading a disk. It does not indicate a problem.
	When the procedure to play back a song from the disk is performed, the contents of the instrument's memory are erased.	When performing the operation to play back a song from a disk, this instrument's memory memory is overwritten by the data from the disk. If you wish to preserve a song which is stored in this instrument's memory, save it to a disk before performing the disk playback procedure. (Refer to page 32.)
Phenomenon		Remedy
MIDI	Data cannot be exchanged through MIDI terminals.	The switch for the COMPUTER terminal is not set to MIDI. Turn off the power to this instrument and set the switch to MIDI. (Refer to page 42.)Match the channels on the transmitting side and the receiving side. (Refer to page 39.)
	The sound quavers or is distorted.	When the COMPUTER terminal or both the MIDI IN and OUT terminals are connected to a computer, depending on the computer software the received data may be sent back to the instrument just as it is. Because of this the sound generated from the keys and the sound generated from the returned data are both produced, causing undesirable effects, such as the sounds canceling each other out, for example. In this case, either change the software settings to prevent received data from being returned, or set the MIDI LOCAL CONTROL to off.
Other	Noise from a radio or TV can be heard.	This sometimes occurs when electrical equipment such as a radio or TV is used near the instrument. Try moving such electrical equipment further away from the instrument.The sound may be coming from a nearby broadcast station or amateur radio station. If the sound is bothersome, consult your dealer or service center.
	The cabinet becomes warm during use.	This instrument has a built-in power source that heats the cabinet to some degree. This is not an indication of trouble.
