Problem Cause/Action
If.you.hear.this.in.headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substan-
tial high-frequency components that may sound as though a metallic
ringing has been added. This is because the characteristics of an actual
piano are being faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction. This
High-pitched

ringing is heard
you may be able to minimize it by decreasing the ambience.
If.you.don't.hear.this.in.headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within
the unit). Please contact your dealer, the nearest Roland Service Center,
or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information. "
If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be
distorted depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down
the volume.
If.you.don't.hear.this.in.headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects
near the unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also
resonate sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for
lower notes and higher volumes. You can take the following measures
Sound wrong, or
to minimize resonances.

• Locate this unit 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other
surfaces.
• Keep the volume down.
• Move away from the objects that are resonating.

When Using the Wireless LAN
Function
Problem Cause/Action
Make sure that your wireless LAN access point supports WPS. If your
wireless LAN access point does not support WPS, you can connect
using the procedure described in "Connecting in Ad-Hoc Mode" (p. 15).
The 802.11a/b wireless standard is not supported. Please use the
802.11g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless standard.
The WEP authentication method is not supported. Please use the WPA
or WPA2 authentication method.
Make sure that DHCP is enabled for your wireless LAN access point.
Can't connect to
a wireless LAN
The connection might not occur successfully due to the state of the
access point
radio signal. If so, use the procedure described in "Basic Connection
Method (Connect by WPS)" (p. 15), and reconnect your wireless LAN
access point.
There is a limit to the connection data that can be remembered.
Making a new connection may cause older connection data to be
deleted.
All connection data will be deleted if you execute a factory reset. If the
connection data has been deleted, please re-connect to the wireless
LAN access point.
Communication may be unstable depending on the usage of the radio
frequency spectrum.
If communication is unstable, the response may be sluggish, or if using
audio communication, there may be dropouts in the audio.
Communication
The following actions may improve the situation.

• Move the wireless LAN access point and this unit closer to each
other.
• Change the channel setting of the wireless LAN access point.
