Re: Thermostat

The screen reads "Thermostat <another word I can't remember>" on the 
top line and "Piano Off" or "Turning Piano Off" on the bottom line.  
It stops the playback and just sits there.  Usually I go ahead and 
turn the unit off, so I'm not sure what happens next.  I don't recall 
it having an error number.... hopefully I can get a day off in the 
next few weeks and have someone look at it.
