you are correct!!
after reviewing the mark ii xg advanced manual, page 77, i noticed that it states that for midi (what yamaha callls "import") files, the piano by default is set to play the left hand on channel 1 but has no designation for the right hand. this would explain why the right hand set on channel 2 plays out through the synthesizer and not through the piano itself and explains why up until now, i have had to set both the right and left hands on channel 1 in order for the piano to play them both
afer resetting this function, i assume that from now i will be able to play left on channel 1 and right on channel 2 - the way it was meant to be
thanks for the heads up
i hope this information is useful to other mark II xg owners who have experienced this problem
a good weekend to all

Sheldon,

When I first received my disklavier (a C2) it was set up to only play
channel 1. There is an option that needs to be turned on.

You will notice, once you have it turned on, that the light above
the "L" and the "R" on the control unit will be lit up (allowing you
to mute one of the hands if you desire). Most likely only the "L"
side lights up currently based on what you have said.

I have forgotten what the option is right now. It should be in the
manual or you could just page through the options on the control unit.

I'll see if I can find it if someone else doesn't chime in with the
answer.
