Welcome

Congratulations on choosing the 2000C/2000CD+, one of our award-winning player piano

systems.

The 2000C/2000CD+ retrofit kit was designed to turn an acoustic piano into a state-of-the-art

player piano.

The system can be installed into almost any grand or upright piano, new or old.

Overview

2000C/2000CD+ ensures that your piano will retain its original beauty and sound. The moment

you insert a special CD into the almost invisible controller, 2000C/2000CD+ brings your piano

magically alive. Enjoying piano music at its best is as close as the touch of a button. The easy-to-

use remote control gives you the convenience you are accustomed to with your audio devices.

Familiar controls like Play, Stop, Preset Volume and Track Select make this sophisticated system

as easy to operate as your CD player.

A 2000C/2000CD+ equipped player piano captures all the musical expressions of the original

performing artist. Then 2000C/2000CD+ goes further, providing dazzling accompaniments

recorded by orchestras and bands. Many of the CDs have vocal tracks recorded by noted artists.

The expansive CD library will satisfy your every musical wish.

Choosing a Good Location

To prevent excessive internal heat buildup in the electronic components, place the piano in a

location with sufficient air circulation.

Do not install the piano:

• Near heat sources such as radiators or hot air ducts.

• In direct sunlight.

• In places where excessive dust, mechanical vibrations or shocks exist.

Precautions

Operate the unit only on 120 Volts AC, 60 Hz.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not going to be used for an extended period.

NOTE: If the unit is plugged into an AC power source, it is still energized, even when the

switch is off.

Mail in your registration

Please take a few moments right now to fill in and mail the Registration Card. Doing so will

entitle you to full warranty protection, and enables us to better serve you.

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY

TO PERSONS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-

insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This instrument is capable of producing extremely high volume levels. Adjust the MASTER

VOLUME to the softest position before turning on or playing the piano. Gradually adjust the

volume to suit your taste by adjusting the MASTER VOLUME while playing the instrument.

You can damage your hearing by playing this instrument too loud. When using this instrument

at high-volume levels, such as public performance, use appropriate ear protection.

WARNING: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the product.

2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when a product is used near

children.

3. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in

a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or the like.

4. This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers,

may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not

operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable.

If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.

5. The product should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its

proper ventilation.

6. This product should only be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, or other products that produce heat.

7. The product should only be connected to the type of power supply described in the

operating instructions or as marked on the product.

8. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the other).

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet contact an

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

9. The power-supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left

unused for a long period of time.

10. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure

through openings.

11. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A) The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B) Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product; or

C) The product has been exposed to rain; or

D) The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in

2000C Back Panel Description

NOTE: MAKE SURE POWER TO ENTIRE SYSTEM IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING

ANY OF THESE CABLES.

TIP: Your 2000C has been designed to recognize the difference between a QRS MIDI signal and a standard music signal at the

line input jacks. This means if your system is configured for stereo sound you will be able to enjoy your standard compact disc

library in true stereo without having to push buttons. When you are playing QRS compact discs, the audio will be heard in

“emulated stereo” taking advantage of the stereo configuration.

NOTE: When using standard music discs through the 2000C, depending on the actual music, you may notice the very beginning

of the first song of the disc being clipped off. This is especially true for very slow fade ins. This is because the onboard

computer does not know what signal is coming in until it actually sees it. This possible muting is normal and helps assure that

when the 2000C is being driven with standard QRS MIDI discs, you won’t hear a burst of the MIDI data at the beginning of the

song.

Right channel line input. Connect to the right channel output of your CD player, VCR etc.

Left \ AMI channel line input. Connect to the left channel output of your CD player, VCR etc.

Right channel output. Connect to the right channel input of your powered speaker or stereo amplifier \ receiver. This

connection would be used as a single (mono) speaker.

Left Channel output. Connect to channel input of your powered speaker or stereo amplifier \ receiver. This connection

would be used as a single (mono) speaker.

MIDI OUT port. Connect to the MIDI input of any standard MIDI device. The MIDI source for the port is derived from the

left “LINE IN” \ AMI signal.

MIDI IN port. Connect to the MIDI output of any standard MIDI device.

TIP: When driving the Pianomation by means of the “MIDI IN” port, make sure that the device connected to the “LINE IN”

ports are not active. This will prevent 2 songs from playing at the same time.

MIDI THRU port. Connect to the “MIDI IN” port of the 2000C.

TO PROCESSOR BOARD port. This DB-15 connector is the port that connects to your Pianomation processor. Under no

circumstances should this connector be interfaced with any other device.

IN. This light is used to confirm that there is “AMI” signal present at the “LEFT/AMI” line in jack. This indicator is very

useful for basic system trouble shooting.

ER. This light indicates a condition has occurred within the Pianomation system. It is normal for this light to turn on

initially after powering the system on. The “ER” light should turn off within 3 seconds after turning the system on.

NOTE: It is normal for this ER light to remain on when the power is turned off as well as when the

2000C is powered on without being connected to the Pianomation processor.

TIP: If the piano system will not play, check to make sure this light is not flashing. If it is flashing, a

condition has occurred in the Pianomation system. Unplug the system from the AC outlet, wait 2

minutes and reconnect. Power up the system and if the condition occurs again, call your dealer or

QRS tech support for instructions.

EXT IR SENSOR. This port provides you with the ability to add an optional remote control sensor.

This is convient when you want to hide the 2000C under the piano while retaining remote control

functionality.

Power Inlet. This is where the low voltage end of the AC adaptor plugs in.

NOTE: Use only the power adaptor provided by QRS. An adaptor with the incorrect characteristics

could result in damage to your system.
