Quick Start
Setting Up the PC4
1. If your PC4 has been out in the cold during shipping, give it time to warm up to room
temperature before powering it on, since condensation may have formed inside.
2. Place the PC4 on a keyboard stand or on a hard, flat, level surface.
3. Connect the DC power adaptor to the PC4 DC Power jack.
4. Make sure your power outlet is compatible with the included power adaptor, then plug
the power cable into the power outlet.
5. Plug the included Switch Pedal into the SW1 (SUSTAIN) jack on the PC4 rear panel.
6. If you have an additional switch pedal, plug it into the SW2 jack for Sostenuto control.
7. If you have a MIDI CC pedal (also known as a MIDI expression or volume pedal), plug
it into the CC1 (VOLUME) jack for volume control.
8. If you are using speakers, turn the master volume all the way down on your amplifier
or mixer. Using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables, first plug into the input jacks of your
amplifier or mixer, then plug the other end of the cables into the PC4 AUDIO OUT A
jacks. (Connecting in this order minimizes the possibility of static discharge damage.)
For a mono signal, only use the LEFT (MONO) A jack, and leave the RIGHT A jack
unplugged. Balanced (“TRS” or “Stereo”) cables are recommended if your mixer or amp
supports balanced inputs.
9. If you are using headphones, connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the
rear panel.
10. Move the PC4 VOLUME slider (on the far left side of the front panel) to the minimum
(closer to the keys).
