Cause/Action
The adjuster may have loosened as you used the pedal. Lower the
adjuster so that it contacts the floor. If you are using the piano on
carpet, lower the adjuster so that it presses strongly against the floor.
Check the pedal jack located on the back of the piano.
If you disconnect the pedal cord while the piano is powered-on, the
pedal effect might remain applied. Connect or disconnect the pedal
cord while the piano is powered off.
If the right pedal part is set to "Right, " it applies only to the right-hand
tone; if set to "Left, " it applies only to the left-hand tone.
If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will affect only the right-hand
keyboard zone and the left pedal will affect only the left-hand
keyboard zone.
If the function of the sostenuto pedal (center pedal) or the soft
pedal (left pedal) have been changed, they will not operate as the
sostenuto pedal or the soft pedal. Restore the settings of the "Center
Pedal Function" and "Left Pedal Function. "
Parts that are not shown in the screen do not sound. Select an unlit
part to highlight it so that it produces sound.
Depending on the data format of the song, raise the "Song Volume
SMF" or "Song Volume AUDIO" value.
Set the SMF Play Mode to "External. "
Set the SMF Play Mode to "External. "
This piano can play back three types of file: WAVE format or MP3
format audio files, and MIDI files.
Song names can be shown in the screen only for files that have a
".MID" extension. If the song name information in the file is blank
or consists only of spaces, the song name is not shown in the piano
screen.
Select the part in the screen that you want to record, so that it blinks.
Audio recording cannot be performed unless a USB flash drive is
connected.
Depending on the data format of the song, raise the "Song Volume
SMF" or "Song Volume AUDIO" value.
Some of the Piano Designer settings might not be reproduced when
you play back a song.
If you want to record with the same tonal character as when you play
the keyboard, record your performance as SMF.
If you don't need the power to turn off automatically, turn the Auto
Off setting "Off. "
