Disklavier

Great information - but may I humbly add;

after step 5 - before step 6 - assign the PRC-100 to the disklavier (icon on top 
right of the prc-100 menu called "Piano Assign")   It will go through about 4 or 
5 screens and make sure it says DKVxxxxxxx successfully assigned to your 
disklavier.  If the wireless LAN temp is still present - you do not have a good 
connection.

Step 6 is called "Update Interface" and it will be vitally important that you do 
this step if you are going from version 1.? to 4.1  The "Update Interface" will 
be right next to "Piano Assign" on the PRC-100 menu

After installing 4.1 you will not need to do step 7 - I believe that updating 
the demo program is automatically done in the upgrade.  I could be wrong on that 
- so keep checking with the experts like Carol and others in this fine group.

Subject: Re: [disklavier] Help with PRC-100

   
I have found the following to be helpful when trying to  restore a connection on 
a MarkIV to the PRC-100 handheld controller.  The  same also applies to the 
tablet controller.
 
1) unplug the Disklavier from the wall.  Wait 15  seconds and plug it in again.
 
2) remove the battery from the PRC-100 unit (or  tablet controller), then put it 
back in
 
3) make sure the CF card under the piano is properly  seated.  sometimes they 
get whacked by vacuum cleaners.
 
4) make sure the PRC-100 is really being charged.   You should see an orange 
light.  Many times the unit is not receiving  electricity when sitting in its 
cradle.  remove unit from cradle and plug  the power cord directly into the 
handheld.
 
5) be patient while the system reboots.  It is much  slower than you would 
think.
 
6) update the PRC-100 controller.  Sometimes when  people update their system 
software, they forget to update the PRC-100 as  well.
 
7) also, don't forget to update the Demo program as well  as it often contains 
extra free music.
 
Hope this helps.  I have yet to see it  fail!
