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).
