Are you playing back GS Format song data?
Once the RD-700NX receives a GS Reset message, it then is enabled for GS Format. This

permits playback of music files bearing the GS logo (GS music files). However, data

created exclusively for the Sound Canvas Series may not play back properly on the

RD-700NX.

Make sure that the audio data can be played by the RD-700NX.

p. 95

[S1] [S2] buttons’ function is not

affected

Is the System S1/S2 Mode setting in Edit mode set to “SYSTEM”?

Nothing appears in the screen

Since the RD-700NX uses a liquid crystal screen, it may happen that no text or graphics

appear in the screen if the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees

Fahrenheit).

Vertical lines appear in the screen/

Color is “washed out” at the edges of

the screen

These occur due to the nature of a liquid crystal display, and do not indicate a

malfunction.
They can be minimized by adjusting the contrast of the screen.

Screen display is irregular when power

is turned on/off

This is due to the nature of an LCD screen; it does not indicate a malfunction.

Pedal does not work, or is “stuck”/Pedal

does not operate correctly

Is the pedal connected correctly?
Plug the cord firmly into the pedal jack.

p. 16

Are you using a pedal made by another manufacturer?
Use the pedal included with the RD-700NX or an optional DP Series or similar pedal.

p. 15

Can’t read or write USB memory

successfully

Are you using (optional) Roland USB memory?
Reliable performance cannot be guaranteed if you use non-Roland USB memory

products.

If you are unable to read or write USB memory successfully, change the USB Memory

Mode setting.

p. 69

Reverberation remains even if you

defeat the Reverb effect

The RD-700NX’s piano sound faithfully simulates the depth and resonance of an

acoustic piano, and this may give the impression of reverberation even if you’ve

defeated the Reverb effect.
