Disklavier

My DC3 Pro Mark II arrived yesterday, what an awesome piano. Of course,
it came with no documentation and no disks, so I've yet to feel the full
power of disklavier. I plugged it in and everything fired right up.
There were a couple songs and test scales in the flash memory which
played nicely, and I was able to get it to record my own playing.

 

I noticed the sustain pedal was not lifting the dampers, but that turned
out to be an easy fix. A little dowel rod popped out of it's socket. Got
that back in place, and I was in business. During auto playback, I
noticed the sustain pedal solenoid gives the pedal a real whack. No
wonder that dowel rod popped out. BTW, my sustain pedal requires quite a
bit of force, and it doesn't spring back quicky. Is that characteristic
of Disklavier?

 

Today I found and downloaded the Mark II XG owner's manuals from the
Yamaha site, but I could not find an owner's manual for my DCD1 upgrade
anyhwere. Anyone know where I can find a copy?

 

I have one question about MIDI ports and I'm sure there's a simple fix.
The DCD1 occupies both MIDI ports on the DKC500RW controller. I was
hoping to connect the piano to the MIDI out of a computer or other MIDI
player. How can I have two MIDI INs on the piano? Can the "to Host" be
used as a MIDI IN?
