faintly heard
If you can hear this in headphones:
Some piano tones that feature a brilliant and consistent sound include many high-frequency components, which may include some
reverberations that could sound metallic. This is a faithful recreation of the original characteristics of a piano, and is not a malfunction.
This kind of reverberation tends to be more audible when the more ambience effect is applied, so you might try reducing the ambience effect
to help mitigate this issue.
High-pitched ringing is heard
If you can't hear this through headphones:
There may be another issue causing this, such as the sound resonating with the piano unit. Please contact your dealer or a Roland customer

Low notes sound wrong,
or are buzzy
If you can't hear this through headphones:
It may be that the objects near the piano are resonating because of the high volume of sound coming from the speakers. You can take the
following measures to minimize resonances.
• Keep the volume down.
• Locate the speakers 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.
• Move away from the objects that are resonating.
The sound is heard differently When using "Dual Play" which layers two tones, the sound you hear may differ depending on the specific combination. For some combinations,
depending on the tone settings the effect is not applied to the left-hand tone. This is not a malfunction.
Cause/Action
Raise the volume.
If headphones or an adaptor plug are inserted in the headphones jack,
sound is not output from the speakers.
Disable transpose in the Transpose settings.
When shipped from the factory, the reference pitch is set to "442.0 Hz. "
Check the Master Tuning settings.
Hold down the [ ] (settings) button and press the A0 key to exit Dual
Play mode.
If you don't want the piano to be played from another sound module, set
your music production software's "soft thru" setting to "Off. "
If the volume is at the maximum, the sound might be distorted depending
on how you play the piano. If this occurs, lower the volume.
