Dear Pianobench,

You and I had an exchange on DUG about this same problem back in 
1999, and it continues to pop up periodically.  It seems there may 
be diskette play peculiarities of playback-only models or of certain 
control units, requiring workarounds such as I described in message 
#1662.  Yamaha should investigate this problem for future 
correction, or at least to document and publicize what the user must 
do/not do in order to avoid problems playing MIDI files via the 
diskette drive of the Disklavier. 

FYI, j1mbee, the author of the message you are responding to, fixed 
his problem by shortening the file names.

Regards,
