Troubleshooting
Problem Cause/Action
All LEDs other than
the [
L
] (POWER)
button are blinking
Excessive current ow occurred at the USB MEMORY port.
Check whether there might be a problem with the USB ash drive. Next, turn the
power o, then back on again.
Even though youre
using headphones
and the sound is
muted, a thumping
sound is heard
when you play the
keyboard
This unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic piano’s
playing touch as realistically as possible. For this reason, you’ll hear the hammers
thump when you play the keyboard, just as you would when playing an acoustic
piano. Since this unit allows you to adjust its volume, you might notice the sound
of the hammers in certain situations, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
If vibration transmitted to the oor or walls is a concern, you may be able to
minimize the vibration by moving the piano away from the wall, or by laying
down a commercially available anti-vibration mat designed for use with pianos.
Power turns o on
its own
With the factory settings, the unit’s power will automatically be switched o 30
minutes after you stop playing or operating the unit.
If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the Auto O setting
“OFF” (p. 5).
Power does not
turn on
Is the AC adaptor connected correctly (p. 5)?
Pedal does not work,
or is “stuck”
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Plug the cord rmly into the PEDAL jack (p. 5).
No sound/No sound
when you play back
a song
Could the unit’s volume be turned down?
Could headphones be connected?
The speakers will not produce sound if headphones is connected to the PHONES
jack (p. 4).
Pitch of the keyboard
or song is incorrect
Could you have made Transpose settings (p. 7).
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate (p. 7).
The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method (stretched tuning), which
makes upper-range notes slightly higher in pitch, and lower-range notes slightly
lower in pitch. For this reason, you might perceive the pitch as being incorrect,
but this is the way an acoustic piano should sound.
Sounds are heard
twice (doubled)
when the keyboard
is played
Could you have selected a dual tone (p. 2)?
The sound of
the higher notes
suddenly changes
from a certain key
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes at the
upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the damper
pedal. These notes also have a somewhat dierent tonal character.
This unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On this unit,
the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change according to the
transpose setting.
Problem Cause/Action
High-pitched ringing
is heard
If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial 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 ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb eect is applied heavily, so you may
be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.
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 or the nearest Roland service center.
Sound wrong, or are
buzzy
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 to minimize resonances.
5 Locate this unit 30 cm (12 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.
5 Keep the volume down.
5 Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a nearby
Roland service center.
Power turns o
In some cases, playing back extremely high-volume SMF or WAV data from a USB
ash drive may cause the protection circuit to operate, turning the power o.
If this occurs, reduce the volume.
