Re: PianoCD (PianoDisc) CDs play better than floppy disklavier on my Mark III

Ron,

From your description, it sounds as though your Disklavier set-up may 
have been modified and is no longer applying the normal 500 ms delay. 

To verify whether this is the case, press the following keys on your 
DKV Control Unit:

1) Press the FUNC key (located on the button row).

2) Press the right arrow key (located beneath the PLAY/PAUSE button) 
   to select MIDI Setup and press ENTER.

3) With the cursor flashing on Piano Part, press ENTER.

4) Verify in the message display that the bottom row of text reads:

   Delay IN (500 ms)=ON

   If you see Delay IN (500 ms)=OFF, you'll want to change this   
   setting.

5) To change the delay setting, press the right arrow to move the 
   cursor to the bottom row.

6) Turn the rotary dial (VOLUME | TEMPO | TRANSPOE | BALANCE) 
   clockwise until you see:

   Delay IN (500 MS)=ON

7) When done, press the FUNC key (on the button row).


Please report back on your results.


Robert
