DKC-850 connection issue

DKC-850 connection issue

2016-01-04 by John Rank

Hi All,
I had a local tech come out and attempt to install the DKC-850 to update my DC3Mark IIXG grand piano. After installation, the unit played the background accompaniments but would not play the keys of the piano. He had first attached a UD-FD01 to the unit so that my 50 floppies could be copied and/or played with the new unit. Both the floppies ( the one or two he used ) and the CD that came with the DKC-850 worked to play the background music, but the piano itself just would not play. When he reconnected the original DKC-500R unit, the floppies played both the keys and the background music. Anyone encounter a similar problem and if so, how did you correct it? Could there be a failure in the unit or the cable used to connect it?
Thanks for any suggestions....
John

John,


It sounds like PIANO TYPE on the DKC850 has not been set properly. Look in Chapter 2, page 15 of the owners manual. Make sure the setting is REPLACE.
