Hardware FAQ

for Wii

TM

GENERAL

Problem: My Guitar or Drum Controller keeps disconnecting.
Solution 1: Ensure there are no 2.4 GHz wireless devices around that could potentially
interfere with The Beatles: Rock Band Controllers. Common offending devices include cordless
phones, Wi-Fi routers, and microwaves.
Solution 2: Make sure that the batteries are not jarring loose during play. A thin layer
of duct tape, cardboard, or weather stripping foam on the inside of the battery door
can help secure the batteries during insane solos/drum fills.

DRUMS

Problem: My Drum Controller pads aren’t sensitive enough.
Solution: If you want to maximize hit recognition, aim for the center of the pads marked
by the glossy black circle, where the drums are most sensitive.

Problem: I can’t plug a second Kick Drum pedal directly into the Drum Controller.
Solution: Nope, you can't. The yellow, blue, and green colored jacks are expansion ports for
cymbals, the orange jack is for the Kick Drum pedal, and the black jack (under the orange
kick pedal jack) is reserved for future use and does not function as a second
Kick Drum pedal jack.

Problem: I don’t want to break my Kick Drum pedal.
Solution: Don't stomp too hard: keep the ball of your foot on the orange line and your
heel planted. While keeping your foot in that position, use your ankle to push the pedal down.

GUITARS

Problem: The auto-calibration feature on my Guitar Controller isn’t working.
Solution 1: Please ensure you have fresh batteries in your Guitar Controller.
Solution 2: Calibration works best in a dark, silent room. If you have a surround sound
setup, please ensure you are holding the Guitar Controller up to your center speaker
during audio calibration, as the calibration tone will only be played by the center speaker.
Solution 3: Ensure that vibration is enabled on your profile:
Step 1: Plug the dongle into the console USB port.
Step 2: Put in batteries and flip the on/off switch to the “on” position.
Step 3: Turn on the console and load the game.
Step 4: Press the sync button on the Guitar or Drum Controller.

The Controller should now sync up with the already-searching dongle. The dongle and the
LEDs on both Controllers will remain solid and the Controller will be able to navigate the main
menu. If the Controller does not sync up initially, press the sync button on the dongle to reset
the search sequence and then the sync button on the Controller to bind.

Problem: My Guitar Controller doesn't always engage Beatlemania when I want it to.
Solution: As an alternative to tilting the guitar, you can engage Beatlemania with any Rock Band,
Rock Band 2 or The Beatles: Rock Band kick pedal. Just plug the pedal into the 3.5 mm jack on
the bottom of your guitar controller and depress the pedal. This will engage Beatlemania without
the need for you to tilt the guitar. Keep in mind that the pedal works in addition to the tilt
sensor in your Guitar Controller and does not disable it.

Problem: I can’t plug all my USB peripherals into the console.
Solution: Your Drum Controller dongle can be plugged into the pass-through USB port on
the Guitar and Bass dongles. Note: you cannot plug a Guitar or Bass dongle into another
Guitar or Bass dongle.

MICROPHONES

Problem: I can't make selections because there are no buttons on the Microphone.
Solution: In order to play the game, you need to use a Wii Remote in addition to your Microphone.

Problem: I am using multiple Microphones – how many Wii Remotes do I need?
Solution: If you want to sing with friends, you only need to use one Wii Remote for up to three
Microphones.
