Troubleshooting - Kawai PR-1 Owner's Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please use the guide to diagnose some common problems that might occur.
1. No sound from the external speakers when playing the CD
* Make sure the MASTER VOLUME knob is not set to 0.
* Make sure the CD VOLUME knob is not set to 0.
* Make sure the amplifier for the external speakers is turned ON.
* Make sure the volume of the external speakers is not set to 0.
* Make sure the connections between the PR-1's LINE OUT jacks and the speaker amplifier input are connected
correctly.
2. When you cannot record
* Make sure that the CD-R or CD-RW disc you are using still has time available to record.
* Make sure the piano microphone LEVEL is set correctly
* The PR-1 cannot record songs shorter than 5 seconds. Please wait at least 5 seconds before you press the STOP
button.
* Make sure the piano microphones or LINE/MIC INPUTS connections are correct.
3. The rotation speed of the CD drive gets fast and slow.
* This is normal and occurs when the CD drive is reading or writing information to and from the disc.
4. The recorded sound is distorted
* Make sure that the LEVEL indicator's red LED is not constantly lit.
* Adjust the microphone recording level by using the PIANO MIC IN LEVEL knob or LINE/MIC IN LEVEL knob
so that the Red LED on the level indicator does not light up except with the loudest sounds.
5. The external speakers feedback when you add reverb to your piano
* This type of feedback will sometimes occur when the microphone picks up the sound coming out from the speaker.
You can prevent the feedback by changing the position of the speaker. See pg.24, 25.
You can also use the ANTI-FEEDBACK and LINE OUT PHASE to control this type of feedback.
