Good evening, everyone.

Kim, it seems totally out of character for this to need addressing on a continual basis. I am wondering if you have the latest firmware installed, which you can find at:

Regards,
PianoBench

Carol,

Thanks so much for this info! Will try this out after dinner, I was so disappointed that this occurred again (has happened 2 - 3 times) and always thought it was something I did to mess with the settings.

I really appreciate your taking the time to respond during the busy holiday season!

Regards, Kim

This situation can happen when static electricity hits

your control box. During the heating season, just

walking across the carpeting in the room and turning on

the DKV can cause this. The following sequence will

reset your piano type.

Press the Power button while pressing the L and R

buttons to enter Test Mode.

Press Yes once to select CTRL SHEET

Press >> once. You should see the following displayed

(or something like this). The first line is the

version of the software and date you have in current

use, so it may not match exactly my example here. The

second line is what is important. The 55RCD is the

model of the control box; the ENG is the language which

can be changed by pressing L or R; REC means the DKV

has recording capabilities; GP is the piano type which

you change by pressing NO or YES buttons to change the

piano type; S means the piano has a Silent system

(which is toggled by the RECORD button); and the DB51

is the tone generator.

V4.46 Apr 01 200X

55RCD ENG REC GP S DB51

To change the piano type, press the YES or NO button to

match your piano type. The options are as follows:

UP MX100II/IIXG, MX500/22/16

GP DGPII/IIXG, DGA1

S4 S4II/IIXG

UPS MPX100II/IIXG, MPX70

GH1 Playback only

GT DGT2IIXG/DGT7

GPS DGPS/MarkIII (except for DGA1)

GPS-X DKVPro

CFPRO CFS-X

Sometimes, the solution is to do a RESET on your

Disklavier when all else fails. To do this, press the

FUNCTION key on the control box, and press -> until the

cursor in next to the Reset option.

Refer to the advance owner's manual, page 72 for

details if you don't want to also reset a memory disk.

Try keeping the relative humidity around your

Disklavier to around 42 to 50 percent.
