Disklavier

Hello,

Is this a Japanese import? I thought the MX100A was a U1 based piano and 
that was all Yamaha had ever offered outside of Japan? I'm pretty sure 
that U3 disklaviers were/are only offered in Japan too?

Anyway, as far as I know the DSR1 doesn't have this limitation - it is 
essentially the same controller that I have on my MarkIIXG (DKC500RW) 
and I can use my piano for hours as a midi controller, with or without a 
disk in the drive. I can't help on the MX100 hibernate issue though :(

Enjoy the piano!
