CHAPTER 8: Troubleshooting

The Disklavier does not recognize an USB flash memory.

The Disklavier restricts the usage of the USB flash memories to seven identical ones by recognizing the ID

information of the memories that have been inserted to

the USB port. (pg. 2) If you use USB flash memories other than the ones already recognized, shut down the Disklavier once before using them.

Certain USB storage devices may not function properly with the Disklavier PRO/Mark IV Series. For a list of compatible products, please visit www.yamaha.com/disklavier.

The Disklavier does not read a CD-R/-RW.

The song files should be formatted in ISO 9660 LEVEL1. The Disklavier may not read song files other than this format.

Some notes drop out during playback.

In Acoustic mode, when a piano song is played back at a low volume, some notes in trill or tranquil part may drop out. This is a characteristic of the Disklavier and not a malfunction.

PianoSmart playback cannot be performed.

Makes sure that the numbers indicated on both the SmartPianoSoft floppy disk and the paired CD are the same.

The I/O Center becomes hot.

Although the chassis of the I/O Center may become hot while the Disklavier is turned on (also in Standby mode), this is not a malfunction.

Noise is heard from the I/O Center.

The I/O Center contains HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and the HDD makes a disk spinning noise. This is not a malfunction.

piano specifications

Yamaha pianos are renowned for their exceptional quality, rich sound, and innovative technologies, making them a popular choice among musicians and music enthusiasts. With a history dating back to 1887, Yamaha has continually evolved its piano designs to meet the needs of players across genres and skill levels.

One of the main features that sets Yamaha pianos apart is their diverse range of models, which includes acoustic, digital, and hybrid pianos. Acoustic pianos, such as the popular C-series grand pianos, are constructed with high-quality woods and materials, providing a traditional playing experience characterized by a rich tonal palette and impressive resonance. The YDP series of digital pianos incorporates advanced features while maintaining a traditional aesthetic, making them ideal for home use.

Yamaha's dedication to innovation is evident in its digital pianos, which boast cutting-edge technology. The Real Grand Expression (RGE) technology in premium models ensures an authentic touch and sound experience, closely mimicking that of an acoustic piano. The Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action emulates the heavier touch of lower keys and lighter touch in higher keys, allowing players to develop proper finger technique.

Another notable technology found in Yamaha pianos is the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC), which optimizes sound output at various volume levels. This feature ensures that the piano sounds full and balanced whether played quietly or at concert levels. Additionally, the Acoustic Optimizer improves sound projection and tonal clarity, delivering a more immersive playing experience.

For those who seek an interactive learning experience, Yamaha integrates educational features in its digital models. The Smart Chord and Smart Pianist app allows users to explore new songs and practice effectively, making it easier for beginners to learn and understand music theory.

Yamaha pianos are also designed with durability and craftsmanship in mind. The use of premium materials and precise manufacturing processes ensures that each instrument not only sounds incredible but is built to last. This commitment to quality and performance makes Yamaha pianos a trusted choice for aspiring musicians and seasoned professionals alike.

Ultimately, whether you’re looking for an elegant acoustic instrument or a technologically advanced digital piano, Yamaha offers a wide selection that meets the needs of every player, combining tradition with innovation to create instruments that inspire creativity and passion for music.
