Disklavier

You only need the EMK1 upgrade to use PianoSmart technology with the DCD1.
Otherwise the DCD1 works fine with all PianoSoft Plus Audio CDs.  You can
also play QRS CDs and I think the PianoDisc CDs as well.  PianoSmart also
requires using both MIDI ports on the DCD1.  To use the other external MIDI
functions you may have to disconnect the MIDI cables from the CD player.
All of the various wiring scenarios are illustrated in the official Yamaha
publications.  You can order your free copy of the manual from Yamaha as it
is not on their website.
