Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a pop-
ping sound is temporarily produced.
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electri-
cal power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may pro-
duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it
further away from the instrument.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is
played or when a song or style is being played
back.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on
the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack,
no sound is output.
Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 67.)
Playing keys in the right hand area of the key-
board does not produce any sound.
When using the Dictionary function (page 50), the keys in the right
hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
• The volume is too soft.
• The sound quality is poor.
• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.
• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not
play correctly.
• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all
panel settings are reset.
The batteries are low or dead.
Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the
included AC adaptor.
The auto accompaniment doesn’t turn on, even
when pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
Make sure the Style mode is active before using the auto accompa-
niment. Press the [STYLE] button to enable style operations.
The style or song does not play back even when
pressing the [START/STOP] button.
Is External Clock set to ON?
Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on
page
68.
The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 47) is set to an appropriate
level.
Is the Split Point setting inappropriate for chord play?
Set the Split Point to the proper position; refer to “Setting the Split
Point” on page
42.
When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#124
– #135), the rhythm cannot be heard.
This is normal. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass — only
piano accompaniment.
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound
seems to be cut off.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the
Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing
back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “sto
-
len”) from the accompaniment or song.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the foot
-
switch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains
the sounds.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the foot-
switch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turn-
ing on the power.
The sound of the voice changes from note to
note.
This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple
recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the key
-
board; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different
from note to note.
The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or
there are Japanese characters in the display mes
-
sages.
Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to
English. (See page
79.)
