Troubleshooting
USB Audio function (CVP-509/505/503)
The message “This drive is busy now.” appeared, and then the
recording was aborted.
Make sure to use a compatible USB storage device (page 106).
Make sure that the USB storage device has enough memory
(page 87).
If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already
been recorded, check first that no important data remains on the
device, then format it (page 107) and try recording again.
Audio files cannot be selected. The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The com-
patible formats are: MP3 and WAV (CVP-509/505), WAV (CVP-503).
The DRM protected files cannot be played back.
Recorded file is played back at a different volume compared to
when it was recorded.
The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume
value to 100 plays back the file as the same volume when it was
recorded (page 85).
Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than expected when chang-
ing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the
Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the
Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings
related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be
unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback,
you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the
Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you
can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony (CVP-509/505/503)
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording.
Use the USB Audio function (page 86).
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound. Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 103).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune. Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such
as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds
can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:
•Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
•Use a unidirectional microphone.
•Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control
(pages 15, 58).
Pedal/AUX Pedal
The damper, sostenuto and soft functions do not work for the rele-
vant pedals.
The pedal cord plug is not connected. Securely insert the pedal cord
plug into the proper jack (page 113, 115, 117).
Make sure that each pedal is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTE-
NUTO, and SOFT (page 32).
The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the AUX PEDAL
jack is reversed.
Turn the instrument’s power off, then turn on again without pressing
the footswitch.
AUX IN jacks
Sound input to the AUX IN jacks is interrupted. The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument
is too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The vol-
ume level reproduced via this instrument's speakers can be adjusted
by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.
