Features
Relax to the sounds of the world’s greatest music
1) Start listening the same day it arrives in your home.
There is no special software to install, and you don’t need to purchase any music. Special music CDs come included with every E3. You can literally start listening as soon as the E3 is delivered to your home. With over 200 songs prepared for you by Yamaha, all you have to do is sit back and let the E3 turn your living room into a concert hall.
2) Hear subtle sounds with crystal clarity.
The volume on the E3 can be adjusted to meet your particular needs and ensure that your entertainment never disturbs. With the volume set at its lowest levels, the E3 can play whisper-soft sounds while retaining all of the clarity you expect from a Yamaha acoustic piano.
3) The convenience of DisklavierRadio.
With the E3’s Internet Direct Connection (IDC), you can listen to DisklavierRadio by “streaming,” receiving radio-type broadcasts from the Internet. DisklavierRadio offers uninterrupted streams of music on over 11 different channels full of tunes to match your mood.
