Kohler KD165 User Manual

Congratulations on choosing the Kohler KD165 digital Piano with the AUTO PLAY player piano 
function. The KD165 was designed to turn a your digital piano into a state-of-the-art player piano.

The moment you insert a special CD into the almost invisible controller, or select a song from a 
floppy disk or the onboard hard drive, your KD165 becomes a player piano. 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. 

The Kohler KD165 captures all the musical expressions of the original performing artist. Then the 
KD165 goes further, providing dazzling accompaniments by orchestras and bands. Many of the CDs 
have vocal tracks recorded by noted artists. The expansive CD library from two major player piano 
company’s library will satisfy your every musical wish. 

You can also play Standard MIDI files from the floppy drive or the hard drive. The KD165 will “find” 
the piano part (if any recorded) in the MIDI file and direct it to the Grand Piano sound as well as to 
the player  mechanism to move the keys.

The KD165 will read and play the QRS and Piano Disc CD library and any standard MIDI file.
