Standard Audio CDs

Standard CDs contain two audio channels (R and L). Both are output via the built-in speakers as a CD stereo system would.

Note: You can also connect an external CD changer to the AUDIO/ANALOG MIDI IN connector on the control unit (rear panel) and play back multiple audio CDs on the Disklavier.

Specifying a Disk

When you want to play back songs, you need to first specify which disk you want to play back, as the Disklavier has a total of 17 disks (1 floppy disk and 16 Memory Disks).

Press the [SELECT] buttons and specify a disk for playback.

SELECT

Each press of the [SELECT] button toggles the floppy disk, CD, and Memory Disks (0 to 9 and A to F) in the DRIVE indicator.

Note: When you insert a floppy disk or CD into their respective drives, the letters “Fd” and “Cd” automatically appear on the left side of the display.

Note: “Fd” and “Cd” appear only when a floppy disk or CD is inserted in their respective drives.

For floppy disks, the title of the disk scrolls across the display, then the number and title of the first song appear.

Pressing [STOP] will stop the disk title scrolling and display the number and title of the first song.

➔

For CDs, the following displays appear.

➔

For Memory Disks, the disk number or letter also flashes in the bottom row of the display.

Note: “x” indicates Memory Disks that are unformatted or contain no songs.

Flashes

Note: The disk drive may occasionally produce a sound when the disk begins to spin. This is the normal sound of the disk drive starting to read or write to the disk; it does not indicate that there is anything wrong with the disk or disk drive.
