STEVEN and JASON,
Lets see if we can get your PRC-100 connected to your piano. Follow my instructions carefully. Hopefully, at the end of the process your remote will be connected to your Disklavier.
PHASE 1:
- First thing, power down the piano.
- Press the STOP button on your PRC-100. The PRC-100 will go to sleep.
- Turn the remote over. You are going to remove the battery. To do so, slide the slide switch from Normal Operation to Replace battery. Remove cover.
- Remove battery
- Look for RESET and the arrow pointing to a square hole.
- With your stylus, put it in the square hole and lightly push in. You will feel a little button get pressed when you do this. Your PRC-100 is now reset.
- Reinstall the battery. Replace battery cover, and switch the slide switch to Normal Operation.
- Power up the piano.
- Press the STOP button on the PRC-100 to wake it up. Wake up will take 2 minutes.
- PRC-100 should now connect to Disklavier. If not, perform PHASE 2.
PHASE 2:
- Tap on the MENU icon at the bottom of the PRC-100 screen.
- Tap on NETWORK
- The screen will now display NAME with a DKV****** I.D. below it or TEMPORARY xxxx below it. Tap on DELETE. Then tap on YES, then tap on X in the upper right corner of the PRC100.
- Get under the piano and hold your PRC-100 close to the I/O center (the largest box under the piano). Then tap on PIANO ASSIGN, then tap on OK. Keep the PRC-100 close to the I/O center. Hopefully, it will connect to the piano. If so, a DKV******* piano ID will be displayed on the PRC-100. If so, you are connected.
Let me know the results. If we get you connected, then we can discuss the other issues you have raised.
Bill

i have a disklavier mark iv and the prc-100 will not connect to the mark iv. controller still has interface, no connect. it is running version 2 of the software and would like to upgrade. i was told i have to upgrade to 3 then thru an internet connection i can upgrade to 4. problem is the mark iv is not on line, is the prc-100 the only way to get the mark iv on line. second question is can i up grade the software on the mark iv with out it being online, and does the upgraded software give me any more control over getting the mark iv online with out a prc-100. lastly, do you know where i could rent a prc-100 for an hour
