Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

Terry, it sounds like you have two problems: (1) the DCD1 is  
misbehaving and (2) the piano is playing early.

It is possible that the firmware in the DCD1 is not up to date, but I  
don't know if that fact would result in this problem.

As for #2: It sounds as though your GranTouch Disklavier is not  
playing with the normal 500 ms delay. Try doing a Reset of the Setup  
on the Disklavier and see if that fixes the problem (press Function  
and the the Right Arrow button repeatedly until the cursor is in  
front of Reset, then press Enter, etc.).

You might want to call Yamaha Piano Service: (800) 854-1569 between  
8:30-5:00 PST. Push 2 at the first menu choice and 2 at the second  
menu choice.

Regards,
