Troubleshooting

If you think there’s a problem, read this first.

Case

Cause/Remedy

The power doesn’t

come on

Is the power cord connected and plugged in
correctly? (p. 8)

The button doesn’t

work

Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.

No sound is heard

Is the volume level of the HP-2 turned all the
way down? (p. 9)

Are headphones plugged in? (p. 8)
Has a plug remained connected to the Phones
jack?
When headphones are connected, the key-
board’s speaker stops playing.

Is Local Off selected?
When Local Control is set to OFF, no sound is
produced by playing the keyboard. Set Local
Control to “ON” (p. 31).

No sound is heard

(when a MIDI instru-

ment is connected)

Have all devices been switched on?

Are the MIDI cables connected correctly?

Does the MIDI channel match the connected
instrument? (p. 31)

Sounds are heard

twice (doubled)

when the keyboard

is played

Is the HP-2 in Dual play? (p. 12)

When the HP-2 is connected to an external
sequencer, set it to the Local OFF mode (p. 31).
Alternatively, the sequencer could be set so its
MIDI Thru feature is OFF.

The tone has

changed in the Split

or Dual play

If you use Dual play or Split play with a Tone
button for which tone number 3 or 4 is selected,
tone number 1 will be selected for that Tone
button (p. 11).

Some tones assign the tone that had been se-
lected before you pressed the [Split] button to
the left hand area of the keyboard. Please refer
to “Tone List” (p. 34).

Tone doesn’t

change

Is the panel locked? (p. 28)
Turn the power off, then back on.

Are the indicators for the [

(Metronome)]

and [Beat] buttons flashing?
Setting of functions is in progress. Press the

[

(Metronome)] or [Beat] button to exit func-

tion mode (p. 26, p. 30).

Not all played notes

are sounded

The maximum number of notes that the HP-2
can play simultaneously is 64.
Frequent use of the damper pedal when play-
ing along with a song may result in perfor-
mance data with too many notes, causing some
notes to drop out.

The tuning or pitch

of the keyboard or

song is off

Have you set Transpose? (p. 17)

Are the settings for the “Temperament” and
“Stretch Tuning” correct? (p. 27)

Is the setting for the “Master Tuning” correct?
(p. 27)

Song doesn’t play

back/ Only the

sound of a particular

instrument in a song

does not play

Are the indicator for the Track buttons ([1] and
[2] buttons) extinguished? (p. 20)
If the button indicator is out, the music on that
track is not heard. Press the track button so the
indicator is illuminated.

Can’t record

Has one of the track buttons for recording been
selected? (p. 23–p. 24)

Tempo of recorded

song or metronome

is off

If you select an internal song in which the
tempo changes during the song, and then
record, the tempo will change in the same way
for the performances. The tempo of the
metronome will also change in the same way.

If you record additional material without
erasing the previously recorded song, the song
will be recorded at the first-recorded tempo.
Please erase the previously recorded song
before you re-record (p. 25).

The metronome

sound doesn’t

change

When an internal song is played back, the met-
ronome sounds the ordinary metronome
sound.
When a recorded performance is played back,
the metronome sounds the sound that was
selected when the recording was made.

The recorded per-

formance has dis-

appeared

Any performance that has been recorded is
deleted when the power to the HP-2 is turned
off. A performance cannot be restored once it’s
been deleted.

Depressing a pedal

has no effect, or the

pedal effect doesn’t

stop

Is the pedal connected correctly?
Make sure the pedal cord extending from the
stand is securely connected to the pedal jack on
the rear of the unit (p. 8).

The pedal rattles

Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so
that the pedal presses firmly against the floor
surface (p. 9).

Reverberation still

audible even with

Reverb turned off

Since the HP-2’s piano sounds faithfully repro-
duce the sense of spaciousness and reverbera-
tion of an actual acoustic piano’s sound, a
certain amount of reverberation is still percepti-
ble, even with the reverb effect deactivated.
