Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
The speakers produce a
pop sound whenever the
power is turned on/off.
The speakers do not
produce sound when the
keys are played.
The speakers are
producing noise or
interference.
Certain notes produce
the wrong pitch.
This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Check if the master volume is set too low or if headphones are plugged into
the Headphone Output. The speakers will be muted if there are
headphones plugged into the Headphone Output.
If the issue is still occurring, press and hold the Layer and Lesson buttons
for 5 seconds to factory reset the voice volume settings of the unit.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the Concert Digital Piano may
produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or keep it
away from the piano.
Make sure that the transpose value is set to 0. If that does not work, then
press and hold the Layer and Lesson buttons for 5 seconds to restore the
factory default settings.
The notes sound weak or
distorted.
