RE: Is it normal that playback is louder than sound produced during recording?

2013-09-28 by <mqphan@...>

Curiously, Calibration-Full is missing from the service menu on my DGB1KE3 (DKC-800). I entered the service menu by simultaneously pressing [Record], [Select], and [On/Off] buttons, and scrolled down to Option 3 which is Piano Calibration. Under Option 3 are 3-1: Calibration - Std, 3-2: Pedal HP Adjust, 3-4: Key ppp Adjust, 3-5: Calibration - Extra.


Notice that 3-3: Calibration - Full is missing.


I went ahead and run Calibration - Std as it was the only option available. I am curious as to why 3-3 was removed or missing. The numbers jump from 3-2 to 3-4 on the list.


Any confirmation and/or explanation is appreciated. Thank you.


BTW, during the calibration process, I noticed that the dynamic range was very good. The piano could play very softly without missing notes to very loudly. The dynamic range was far wider what I could notice during regular playback of MIDI files, includes songs that I purchased from Yamaha.

>Thank you Adrian for the instructions. Is the self-calibration feature available on the E3 as well? I was under the impression that the feature is available for the PRO version only? I will try to run through the calibration this weekend. Mine is the basic DGB1KE3. If I just want to verify if the feature is available without going through the whole thing (saving it for the weekend), after doing step 1 below, do I hit [STOP] to exit? ①Turning on the power ([ON/OFF] button) while holding down the [RECORD] button and [SELECT] button simultaneously.Minh ---In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, wrote:As your piano should be settled in by now.

The unit has been in the house for a nearly a month. I wonder if I should run the calibration. In the User Manual, the only thing I could find was "Maintenance Mode" and under "Maintenance" are three options: 1. "Post Delivery Check", 2. "Program Versions", and 3. "Pedal Calibration." Can I get to Self-Calibration from "Post Delivery Check"? What is "Post Delivery Check" anyway? There are no specific instructions on "Self-Calibration" anywhere that I could find in the documents that came with the unit. Any guidance is appreciated.
