Disklavier

I recently bought on EBay a DGC1M4 (circa 2004, I believe).  A manual did not accompany the piano.  I'm trying to connect the piano to my home network so that I can move .mid and .fil files to DGC1M4's hard drive.  On my (Windows) network, I can see the piano's hard drive, Dkv******, but I do not see the file where (as best I can tell) midi files are stored (which on my unit I believe is called "User Library," or any file called "FromToPC". 

Worse, in my effort to connect the piano to my network and to update the piano's system files, I fiddled with communication settings on the piano's handheld controller unit (PRC-100).  As a result, the handheld now is not communicating with the other parts of the piano.  

1. Where can I find a manual for this unit? 

2. What are the correct communications settings to connect the handheld to a) the piano's hard drive, Dkv******, b) a wireless LAN-TC/IP, and c) wireless LAN-TEMP? 

3.  How should I connect the piano's hard drive to my home network to transfer MIDI files to the piano's hard drive?  What is the name of the folder on the hard drive where the files should be stored?

4. If I need to resort to a qualified technician (and I need to get the piano tuned anyway), who in the Washington, DC area would you recommend?  

Many thanks.

For the manual - go to 

http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/result.php


Enter Disklavier in the search.

for the best technician in Washington DC area - Carol Beigel - you can reach her at 

www.carolrpt.com 


a quick response to your other points - you are heading down the wrong path by trying to communicate with the Disklavier by using the DKV******* wireless access point.  You will need to get to the LAN port on the I/O center - and drop your MIDI files by using the From/To folder.  The manuals will explain this better.  Carol will also be a good resource, but should be compensated for her efforts.

Hope that helps

Alan

Thanks, all, for your suggestions.

Unfortunately the unit must have LAN hardwired to I/O port. What I did  
to get virtual wireless without hardwiring my house:  I bought  
trendnet network adapter (2 of them TPL 401E) to plug in to my  
electrical lines. I plugged one in to an electrical outlet by my  
primary router which is connected to my primary router. The other  
adapter is plugged in an electrical outlet next to my piano.  I run a  
LAN cable from this adapter to a second wireless router. I run a  
hardwired LAN from the second wireless router to the piano. The key is  
having the piano connected directly to the wireless router. This let's  
you control the piano wirelessly. I use the disklavier application for  
iPhone. The iPhone must be on the same wifi network as the piano.  You  
can also then access the PC file in disklavier from any computer  
connected to the same wifi. I download midi files directly to  
disklavier this way.

Good luck.

Also, if you use DKVBrowser, you can drag files from your Windows machine directly to the "PC" tab in DKVBrowser.

You need to move files into the FromToPC folder to exchange them between the piano and the computer. Once you've done this, you can access them from the PRC100 and move them to the user library.
