RE: [disklavier] Re: Disklavier mk4 lost acoustic playback

The first thing I would do is to go into the 'Service Centre' on the main menu (not the interface menu) and go through the 'Pedal Calibration' procedure. If this doesn't work or help, I would get your dealer to send out a technician who is familiar with Disklaviers. There may be a problem with the sustain pedal which could mean one of several possible fixes.
