Troubleshooting Problem • The PSR-2100/1100 does not turn on; there is no power. • A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. • Noise is heard from the PSR-2100/1100's speakers. • The display is too bright or too dark to read. • The keyboard volume is low compared to that of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback. • The volume of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback is low compared to that of the keyboard. • The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard. • Not all simultaneously-played notes sound. • Accompaniment style or Song playback does not start. • The Multi Pads do not play back, even when one of the MULTI PAD buttons is pressed. • Only the rhythm channel plays. • The accompaniment style does not start, even when Synchro Start is in standby condition and a key is pressed. • The desired chord is not recognized or output by the auto accompaniment. • An unexpected result or malfunction occurred during an operation. • Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regardless of the split point or where chords are played on the keyboard. Possible Cause and Solution Make sure that the PSR-2100/1100 has been plugged in properly (page 16). This is normal when electrical current is applied to the instrument. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-2100/1100 may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the PSR-2100/1100. The brightness of the display may be affected by the surrounding temperature; try adjusting the contrast (page 17). The overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard part may be set too low. Raise the MAIN/LAYER/LEFT volume voices or lower the STYLE/SONG volume in the BALANCE display (page 64). The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song channels is set too low. Raise the part or channel level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display (page 125). • The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. • The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume of MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG in the BALANCE display (page 64). • Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 64, 81). • Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones. • Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 148). You may be exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PSR-2100/1100. When this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. See page 165 for information on the maximum polyphony. • MIDI Clock may be set to "EXTERNAL." Make sure this is set to "INTERNAL" (page 149). • Make sure to press the appropriate [START/STOP] button. To play an accompaniment style, press the STYLE [START/STOP] button (page 64); to playback a song, press the SONG [START/STOP] button (page 79). • "New Song" (a blank song) has been selected. Make sure to select an appropriate song in the SONG display (page 79). • The song has been stopped at the end of the song data. Return to the beginning of the song by pressing the [TOP] button (page 81). MIDI Clock may be set to "EXTERNAL." Make sure this is set to "INTERNAL" (page 149). Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button. You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play a key in the left-hand (accompaniment) range of the keyboard. • You may not be playing the correct keys to indicate the chord. Refer to "Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode" (page 66). • You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode (page 65). If, during execution of an operation, you simultaneously press three or more buttons that are unrelated to the operation or normal procedure, unexpected or unusual results may occur. This is normal if the fingering mode is set to "Full Keyboard" or "AI Full Keyboard." If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different fingering mode (page 65).
