<< Thank you for sending so much information.  I thought I might tell you the 
story that came with the piano.  It was found in storage in UK docks.  No one 
knows where it was destined to go or where it had come from. Although the 
piano case needed some TLC the internal  mechanism  was found to be in 
perfect condition and when played suprisingly in tune.  I went looking for a 
new piano and liked the tone this Yamaha produced.  I was worried about the 
in built disklavier unit but my husband thought it was a great novelty when 
he heard the demo disks play.  It also convinced me that this piano has a 
wonderful tone, although I'm not sure my playing will ever match the great 
sounds I know now it is capable of producing.  Robert I dont suppose climate 
will be a problem here in England but I think we may well have the electrics 
tested as Carol Beigel and John Burton have suggested it may be prudent to do 
so.  The serial number on the inside of the piano is SX100RWnC and I have 
tried to attach 2 photographs with this message.  If you have any further 
information I would love to hear from you again.  Many thanks    >>

Judging by the pictures, I think that a DSR1 is in order. If you can figure 
out how to connect the DSR1 to the Disklavier and to get the two devices to 
communicate with each other, then you can forget the built-in buttons and the 
Japanese display and work almost exclusively with the display, buttons, and 
remote control of the DSR1. You will also get modern features, such as 
support for Standard MIDI Files, high density disks, and a built-in tone 
generator.
