Disklavier

Thanks Joan,
I've tried updating but it fails. 
Likely boot fails before to read from CD, I guess an hardware problem.

This 2.1 version claims to be able to display video and information
(lyrics I suppose) in the video out connected monitor. I guess this
new class of products will be soon sold in Yamaha site.

Anyway it seems this 2.1 version could be used in your country too,
because:
- the manual shows the way to update the Tablet and in Europe Tablet
is not sold with DKV, we may use only Pocket Controller.
- references to Yamaha sites are addressed to USA and Canadian Yamaha
sites, not European ones. For net connections suggestions they link to
the same address in your 2.0 manual: www.yamaha.com/disklavier 


Since I wait for Yamaha service I will try to buy stuff to allow a
network connection, that is a goal very important for me. I work in my
PC far two rooms away from DKV, so a file trasfer via network is very
useful. I downloaded specs for Buffalo device and I will buy them
tomorrow. It could be not easy because of some changes in European/USA
standard of Wireless, so products may differ from the ones in your
country. 

I wish to know from people in Europe about this wireless attempt.
(is anybody in?)


Roberto
