Disklavier

Good news, it is working!  Now for anyone else with possibly the same or a similar problem, here’s a quick synopsis:

 

1. Connect the DKC850 to the Internet, where you have already setup your Disklavier Radio/TV account. Select RemoteLive.

 

2. On the iPad, connect & pair the Bluetooth with the DKC850 (it will be something like BusPower).

 

3. On the iPad, bring up Safari and go to and log into your Disklavier TV account and select what you are going to play, but don’t start it yet.

 

4. On the iPad, connect (via the power port at the bottom) with a cable going into the HDMI on the TV. Be sure to select the right HDMI source on the TV. You should now see the iPad screen on the TV.

 

5. Very important, and here is where I blew it before, thinking it did not work: scroll UP from the bottom of the iPad, touch the sound icon, and the iPad will give you a LIST of the audio devices it sees.  SELECT THE DKC850 “BusPower” DEVICE that you previously paired via Bluetooth.

 

6. Touch on the iPad to start the Disklavier TV video.

 

7. Sit down with your glass of wine and enjoy.

 

The only remaining problem (minor) is that even if I click “play all” on the Disklavier site, it still only plays the first one and then stops.

 

Note: before starting this whole thing, you may want to go to settings --> autolock on the ipad and set it for NEVER, otherwise when the ipad screen times out and goes blank, your music and video go away. (Then remember to set it back from NEVER when you are done).

Just curious, how do you connect from your iPad to dkc-850 via Bluetooth?  I currently have my iPad hardwired to the input of the dkc-850. 

 

Thanks!

I have an E3 with Disklavier DKC850 (thanks to Steve Winder again!) and am really enjoying it. I signed up with Disklavier Radio/TV and that works just fine for the most part but I am having trouble with one aspect of it. 

 

For the OnDemand part of it, I am using an Ipad Air. I can connect to the 850 via Bluetooth and it plays just fine.  I can also see the live video on the Ipad screen. But how do I get that live video on my big TV? Apparently using AirPlay via AppleTV won't work, as it cannot do both Bluetooth and AirPlay at the same time. I got a cable that comes out of the power port of the Ipad and goes to HDMI on the TV, but again, I can only do one or the other -- either the Bluetooth hearing the piano or the live video on the TV but not both at the same time?

 

Would VGA to the big TV make a difference, instead of HDMI?  Any suggestions?
