Troubleshooting

Symptom

Included Accessories

I can’t find something that should be here.

Action

Carefully check inside all of the packing materials.

Power Requirements

Power will not turned on.

• Check the AC adaptor or make sure that the batteries are facing correctly (page E-5).

• Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page E-5).

The Digital Keyboard outputs a loud sound and then suddenly powers down.

Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page E-5).

The Digital Keyboard suddenly powers down after a few minutes.

This happens when Auto Power Off (page E-6) is triggered.

Display

The display keeps going out or are flashing.

Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor power (page E-5).

On-screen keyboard keys or notes remain on the display.

A Step Up Lesson is in progress and the Digital Keyboard is waiting for you to play the next note in the song. To stop this from happening, cancel the lesson (page E-21).

Screen contents are visible only from straight ahead. This is dues to production limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

Sound

Nothing happens when I press any keyboard key.

• Adjust the main volume setting (page E-6).

• Check if something is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack ( dm ) on the back of the Digital Keyboard.

• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all keyboard settings

(page E-6).

Nothing happens or notes do not play normally when

I play notes on the left side of the keyboard.

Press bl to disable chord input in the accompaniment keyboard area

(page E-28).

Nothing happens when I start an Auto

Accompaniment.

• With rhythms 140, and 142 to 150, nothing will sound until you play a chord on the keyboard. Try playing a chord (page E-28).

• Check and adjust the accompaniment volume setting (page E-31).


(page E-6).

Nothing happens when I start playback of a built-in song.

The metronome does not sound.

Notes keep sounding, without stopping.

Symptom

Some notes are cut off while they are playing.

Action

Notes are cut off whenever the number of notes being sounded exceeds the maximum polyphony value of 48 (24 for some tones).

This does not indicate malfunction. See “Maximum Polyphony” in the

“Tone List” in the separate “Appendix”.

The volume or tone setting I made has changed.

• Adjust the main volume setting (page E-6).


(page E-6).


In certain keyboard ranges, the volume and tone quality sound are slightly different from those in other keyboard ranges.

This is due to system limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

With some tones, octaves do not change at the far ends of the keyboard.

The pitch of the notes does not match other accompanying instruments or sounds strange when played long with other instruments.

This is due to system limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

• Check and adjust the transpose (page E-11) and tuning settings

(page E-11).


(page E-6).

The reverb of notes seems to change suddenly.

Sounds I sampled were deleted.

• Check and adjust the reverb setting (page E-10).


(page E-6).

Sampled data is deleted whenever keyboard power is turned off (page

E-13).

Operation

When I perform a skip forward or skip back operation, the skip operation moves multiple song measures instead of only a single measure.

Computer Connection

I can’t exchange data between the Digital Keyboard and a computer.

While song playback is stopped or a Step Up Lesson is in progress, skip forward and skip back operations are performed in phrase units

(page E-16).

• Check to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the keyboard and computer, and that the device is selected correctly with your computer’s music software settings (page E-32).

• Turn off the keyboard and then exit the music software on your computer. Next, turn the keyboard back on and then restart the music software on your computer.
