Hi Troy,

Thanks for the advice.

1. I've looked at the site mentioned, but can't find the applicable 
shipping charges. Would appreciate it if you can enlighten.

2. Also, what is typically the payment mode?

3. I've seen this old but nice Pianosoft Solo disk, but can't find 
it on your website. It's titled: "A Time For Us", some of the pieces 
include: a. Where Do I Begin - Francis Lai, b. We May Never Love 
Like This Again. Do you have this?

Hi Carol,

1. Saw in one of your replies sometime in 2002:

"Try setting the display to English. 

a. Turn the unit on pressing the L and R buttons together.
b. Press Yes once to select the CTRL SHEET
c. Then press R to set it to English
(L would set it to Japanese)

On this model, the L and R buttons are the last two buttons on the 
top row on the right. Who knows if this will work. I am just 
guessing that a model made for Japan will come up in English."

Saw a relatively "new" (11 years old) used disklavier model HQ100SX 
with silent feature. LCD display is combination of English & 
Japanese. Any idea if I can use the above procedure to 'switch' the 
display to English?

2. Going by the literature, this model HQ100SX uses 2DD floppy disks 
only, but I saw 2HD disks being played, with one of the bottom 
square holes taped up. But when I used my own 2HD disk (taped up), 
with MIDI files downloaded from this site, it says "Unformatted 
Disk", any idea why? 

3. Also, when the disks are ejected, they get 'stuck' and you have 
to use your finger to 'fish' them out. Any particular reason / 
remedy?

4. Would this model HQ100SX be a Gen 1 or Mark II Disklavier?

5. Does having a silent unit means there's a Tone Generator?

6. What kind of Pianosoft disks can it play? Solo, Plus,...?

Sorry I'm asking all these, when the sales person should be helping 
to answer them. Like I mentioned previously, local disklavier 
market/owners are relatively 'few', so the support is lacking for 
both authorised & 'Gray' market.

Thanks again :)

Regards.
