Hello Everyone,
Just got off the phone with Mark Wisner and I think I now have the correct
understanding and answers to some of my questions.  Here's what I found out.

The Mark II to Mark IIXG upgrade kit includes modifications to the
electronic box attached to the underside of the piano and a new control box,
DKC500RXG.  This upgrade kit when successfully installed will provide all of
the Mark IIXG capabilities.  I'm told that I can put my existing control
box, DKC100R, and my existing TG100 , Tone Generator, on a shelf in a
closet, because they are no longer required.

When the DCD1 CD playback unit is added to the Mark IIXG system, the Part
Select buttons (L or R) WILL NOT disable the Midi Piano input from the DCD1
to allow me to play the piano part.  A workaround for this problem is to
pull (disconnect)  the Midi input cable from the DCD1 to the Control Box.  A
2nd workaround is to change the Host Select Switch from the Midi position to
the PC1, PC2 or Mac position.

I am still looking for info on a Third Party Silent (Mute Rail) System.  I
am aware that the best capability is the factory installed Yamaha System,
but.....I don't want to buy a new piano.  Doesn't anyone have some first or
second hand experience with a Third Party Mute System??????

Thanks,
Chuck Muller
