Thanks that helped. I didn't see that in the manual. I sent email to 
Yamaha customer service and they just said it takes some getting 
used to, instead of pointing out that it was adjustable. I found the 
customer service to be way below the outstanding quality of Yamaha 
products. If they don't improve they can expect to have their jobs 
sent to India.
