Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is
receiving electrical power.
Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near
the instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off
the mobile phone, or use it further away from the
instrument.
When you use the instrument along with the app
on your smart device, we recommend that you
enable "Airplane Mode" on that device in order to
avoid noise caused by communication.
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.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of
32 notes. If a style or Song is playing back at the
same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or
"stolen") from the accompaniment or Song.
• Always press the [STYLE] button first when you
are going to use any Style-related function.
• The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when
the Duo mode is on.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 32 Func-
tion 001) is set to an appropriate level.
• Is the Split Point set to an appropriate key for the
chords you are playing? Set the Split Point to an
appropriate key (page 32 Function 005).
• Is the "ACMP ON" indicator showing in the dis-
play? If it is not showing, press the [ACMP ON/
OFF] button so that it does show.
