Appendix V. Troubleshooting

Table listing common problems and their possible reasons/solutions.

ProblemPossible Reason / Solution
A faint noise is heard when turning the power on or off.This is normal and nothing to worry about.
After turning the power on to the keyboard there was no sound when the keys were pressed.Check the master volume is set to the correct volume. Check that headphones or any other equipment are not plugged into the keyboard as these will cause the built-in speaker system to cut off automatically.
Sound is distorted or interrupted and the keyboard is not working properly.Use of incorrect power adapter. Use the power adapter supplied or the batteries may need replacing.
There is a slight difference in timbre of some notes.This is normal and is caused by the many different voice sampling ranges of the keyboard.
When using the sustain function some tones have long sustain and some short sustain.This is normal. The best length of sustain for different tones has been pre-set.
The main volume or mixer volume is not right.Check that the main (master) volume and mixer volume are set correctly. Note that the main volume also affects the mixer volume.
In SYNC mode the auto accompaniment does not start.Check to make sure that you are playing a note from the first 19 keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard to start the accompaniment.
The pitch of the note is not correctCheck that the transpose is set to 00.
