Getting Started

Power and Sound Controls

Standard AC current supplies the MPG200’s power. Before connecting the MPG200’s AC power

cord, make sure that the power button (located on the left of the keyboard) is in the OFF position.

Power Switch

Connect the power cord to the AC receptacle on the underside of the MPG200.

Then connect the power cord to an AC outlet.

The power switch is located at the left end of the keyboard. Turn power on and off

by pressing this button.

After the MPG200 is set up, turn the power on. While the unit is performing its

power-up routine some of the front panel button LEDs will ash. After a couple of

seconds, the display will read 1 Grand Piano. The MPG200 is now ready to play.

Use the Quick Start instructions on the following pages for the basic steps to change Voices, play Rhythm Pat-

terns, and play one of the 51 Demo Songs.

CAUTION:

The MPG200 runs on AC power and works with voltages from 100 - 240 volts at 50–60 Hz. The volt-

age level is detected and set automatically by the MPG200.

Do not attempt to connect to a non-standard AC power source.

Volume

Before turning on the MPG200, it’s always a good idea to set the volume at its

minimum setting (all the way to the left). For a generally comfortable level of volume

while playing, set the knob at its middle position.

The Volume Control is located on the left side of the control panel. Turn this knob

from left to right to increase the volume.

Headphone Jacks

The MPG200 has two 1/4” headphone jacks conveniently located under the keyboard,

near the left leg on the cabinet underside. Plugging in headphones provides privacy

during practice. Both jacks operate the same so two people can play and hear the mu-

sic together. When headphones are connected the MPG200’s speakers are silent.

The AC plug shape will vary

depending on location of use
