correctly? (p. 17)

doesn’t work

Is Panel Lock activated? (p. 88)

may not be displayed when the ambient
temperature is below freezing.

Is the music rest (screen) connection cable
connected correctly? (p. 17)

Is Panel Lock activated?
While Panel Lock is on, the screen display and
the indicators for all buttons are turned off.

“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 brightness of the screen (p. 18).

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 bottom of the unit (p. 17).

enabled when the One Touch [Piano] button is
pressed (p. 44).

The pedal
rattles

Adjust the adjuster underneath the pedal so
that the pedal presses firmly against the floor
surface (p. 27).

instrument
connected to
Input jacks is
too low

Could you be using a connection cable that
contains a resistor?

Do you have different external devices
plugged into different power outlets?
When connecting external devices, always
draw power from the same outlet.

The HPi-6 can be set so that the demo begins
playing automatically after the instrument has
remained idle for five to ten minutes.
Switch this setting (Auto Start) to “Off.”

Not all played
notes are

The maximum number of notes that the HPi-6
can play simultaneously is 128. Frequent use of
the damper pedal when playing along with a
song may result in performance data with too
many notes, causing some notes to drop out.

The sound is strange

the keyboard is
played

Is the HPi-6 in Dual performance? (p. 51)

When the HPi-6 is connected to an external
