The sound distorts when playing at
very loud volume levels.

Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate
level, reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard.

p. 12

Strange sounds or noises are heard
when playing with piano sounds.

The ES100 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as
possible. This includes string resonances and damper noises,
and other subtle characteristics that contribute to the overall
piano playing experience.

While these additional tones are intended to enhance the
realism of the instrument, it is possible to reduce their
prominence.

p. 12

The top 18 notes of the keyboard
sustain far longer than neighbouring
notes, even when the damper pedal
is not pressed.

This is the correct behaviour, and intended to reproduce the
undamped notes (typically the top two octaves) of an acoustic
grand piano.
