Troubleshooting
Whenever you suspect that the instrument is not performing
as it should, please consult the following information.
Q. No sound heard from speakers.
A.
Have you checked to make sure you don’t have the vol-
ume set at “MIN”?
Do you possibly have headphones connected?
elf using other connected MIDI devices, have you made
sure the power is ON for all such devices?
elf in the Multi-Timbral mode, do you have the Transmit
channel of the connected MIDI device set to something
other than 1, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 2
Could you have MIDI cables connected to the unit while
it is also set to “Local OFF"?
. The damper effect is constantly applied to notes played
(they continue sounding longer than normal). Or, the
damper effect cannot be obtained at all.
. Have you checked to make sure the cable from the stand
is connected properly to the piano?
Refer to “Assembling the KS-236 Stand for the HP-236,”
. Notes played on the keyboard are too high (or low) in
pitch.
. Have you checked to make sure that key transposition is
not in effect? (If Key Transpose has been set, the indicator
on the FUNCTION button will be lit.)
To exit the transposed state, press the FUNCTION button.
(its indicator should be out.)
Do you have the Master Tuning set appropriately?

Q.
A.
Q.
Data that was in the recorder has disappeared.
«The performance data that you record into the recorder
will be erased approx. 8 hours after power is turned off.
Regrettably, there is no way to restore such data once it
has been erased. If you need a more permanent form of
storage for your songs, you will need to use a sequencer
and store songs on floppy disks.
s Have you possibly pressed the PLAY and REC buttons at
the same time?
The pitch of this unit differs from that of some other unit
being sounded simultaneously.
A. Check to make sure that the Tuning knob on the rear of the
unit hasn't been inadvertently moved.
Adjust the tuning knob until the piano’s pitch matches that
of the external units you are using.
. Operations you perform using the panel buttons
(Chorus/Reverb/Voice selections) cannot be stored into a
sequencer.
A. Have you made sure you have the Transmission/Reception
Mode set to Mode 3? Note that each time power is turned
on, the unit will by default be in Mode 1. In order to
record operations you perform using the panel buttons,
the piano must be set to Mode 3.
