Re: [disklavier] MX100B Yamaha upright piano

2013-09-18 by Bill Gmail

Hi Peter,

To change Japanese to English on the MX100A and MX100B is done on the CPU board itself, not from the control unit.  As I remember there are a bank of 4 or 5 DIP switches on the board. One of them changes the language.

I am in the car driving to the Monterey Jazz Festival to do a DisklavierTV broadcast. When I get to my hotel this evening I will look in my technical archives to see which DIP switch needs to be flipped. I will let you know.
