PF-1000
Possible Cause and Solution
Make sure that the PF-1000 has been plugged in properly. Securely insert the
female plug into the AC socket on the PF-1000, and the male plug into a proper
AC outlet (page 16).
This is normal when electrical current is applied to the instrument.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PF-1000 may produce
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from
the PF-1000.
The brightness of the display may be affected by the surrounding temperature;
try adjusting the contrast (page 17).
The overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard
part may be set too low. Raise the MAIN/LAYER/LEFT volume voices or lower
the STYLE/SONG volume in the BALANCE display (page 61).
The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song channels is set
too low. Raise the part or channel level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display
(page 117).
• The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level with the
[MASTER VOLUME] dial.
• The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume of
MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG in the BALANCE display (page 61).
• Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 61, 76).
• Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. (This happens
when the speaker setting is set to "HEADPHONE SW"; page 138.) Unplug the
headphones.
• Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 138).
• Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 134).
Each pedal has been assigned to a different function. Make sure that each pedal
is properly assigned to SUSTAIN, SOSTENUTO, and SOFT (page 128).
The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely
insert the pedal plug into the proper jack (page 150 - 151).
You may be exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PF-1000. When this
happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played
notes sound. See page 154 for information on the maximum polyphony.
• MIDI Clock may be set to "EXTERNAL." Make sure this is set to "INTERNAL"
(page 135).
• Make sure to press the appropriate [START/STOP] button. To play an
accompaniment style, press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button
(page 61); to playback a song, press the SONG [START/STOP] button
(page 74).
• "New Song" (a blank song) has been selected. Make sure to select an
appropriate song in the SONG display (page 74).
• The song has been stopped at the end of the song data. Return to the
beginning of the song by pressing the [TOP] button (page 76).
Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button.
You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the right hand
range of the keyboard. Make sure to play a key in the left-hand (accompaniment)
range of the keyboard.
• You may not be playing the correct keys to indicate the chord. Refer to "Chord
Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode" (page 63).
• You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not
the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the
keys according to the selected mode (page 62).
