Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.

After exploring the missing AddToCart button issue further with  
Yamaha, it was determined that a bug had recently crept into the  
shopping cart feature on the server side. That bug has been fixed. I  
am now seeing many more AddToCart buttons as I listen to Disklavier  
Radio.

It is still true, however, that you will sometimes hear selections  
that are not for sale.

When the AddToCart button is present, you don't have a History button.  
However, you can get to the History feature by clicking AddToCart. On  
the confirmation screen that comes up, there is a History button.

To get out of the AddToCart screen or the History screen, you can  
simply push the Return button below the LCD.

All of this works identically, of course, using the Virtual PRC on  
your computer. The advantage, however, is that if you have to type  
your password, you can use your computer keyboard if you are using the  
Virtual PRC.

Regards,
