Power Supply for DC3M4t

2005-07-02 by Bob Colopy

Do different versions of the Disklavier e.g. Mark III versus Mark IV or C2 
versus C3 have different power requirements? If you are sure that 350va is 
adequate for DC3M4t  then I'll get it and leave the piano on. This will 
probably solve the problem since when turned on correctly it doesn't do the 
random note thing so as long as it stays on it should be fine. I'll test it 
after the holidays.
