What Phil has suggested would be the answer to most DKV owner's prayers.
This is likely to be one of the topmost frustrations that we experience.

Hey Guys,

 

I run my Mark4 every day for 3 - 5 hours in my restaurant. Overall it's a
pretty buggy piano. I have to completly shut it down every few days (or
less!) as the stupid pedals just stay on at random, even when a song is
completly stopped. It also tends once a month to just randomally jump to the
synth instead of the real piano (like quiet mode) if while the song is
playing I just toggle the channel number from # to 1 and back it then plays
the piano for 30 seconds or a minute or even till the song ends then the
next song the synth is jammed on again.

 

All problems are solved with a shut down.

 

Yamaha are pretty precious and arrogant in Australia and just assume the
customer is crazy so it's no use trying to report anything.

 

All they need to do is intergrate a way of stopping and starting the
services when you go to standby as I put it on standby every day. Also as
part of good form, have a way of clearing/flushing the memory when a song
starts (like the panic button in cakwalk) it would take 1 second and be
worth it. (perhaps have this an optional toggle in the setup).

 

Cheers,

Philip

Bruce,

 

I would suggest that you completely shut down your Mark IV.  Wait 30 seconds
and then restart your Mark IV and wait until it is fully booted up.  I find
that periodically my Mark IV will simply stop playing back completely
(although the cursor moves on The PRC-100 wireless remote) and that when
songs are recorded they are recorded with bad tempo, etc.  A re-boot as
described above has always solved the problem. If a re-boot does not solve
your Mark IV problem, then I would suggest a call to Yamaha Service is in
order. And no this is not a normal adjustment thing. 

 

Tom

Hi group, a newbie here. We bought a MArk IV about 2 years ago and love it,
but lately it sounds as if the sync of the music is off. When a song is
being played, the tempo seems odd and seems to jump around. Or what I mean
is it doesnt really sound like someone is playing the piano- sounds
disjointed. I am unsure of how often these things need servicing etc. IS
this a normal adjustment thing or am I hearing things?-lol
