Appendix Troubleshooting Overall The PSR-3000/1500 does not turn on. • Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the PSR-3000/1500, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. • Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. Noise is heard from the PSR-3000/1500's speakers. • Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the PSR-3000/1500 or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the PSR-3000/ 1500. The letters in the display cannot be read, because the display is too bright (or dark). • Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum visibility. • Adjust the brightness of the display (page 20). The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. • The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. • All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on. • The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 40). • Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 104). • Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker out- put. Unplug the headphones. • Make sure the speaker setting is set to ON (page 18). • The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off. • Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 203). Not all simultaneously played notes sound. • You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 211) of the PSR-3000/1500. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume. • The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 40). Keys do not sound at the proper pitch. • Make sure the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button is set to OFF. Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than "Equal," changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure "Equal" is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 81). - There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard. - Some Voices have a looping sound. - Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the voice. • This is normal and is a result of the PSR-3000/1500's sampling system. Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers. • This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. • This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device. Files/Folders Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled. • The language settings have been changed. Set the appro- priate language for the file/folder name (page 19). An existing file is not shown. • The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer. The data contained in the external media (SmartMedia card, etc.) is not shown on the instrument itself. • Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less. The file/folder copied or cut from one media (such as a SmartMedia card, etc.) cannot be directly copied or pasted to another media. • This is normal. Since directly copying data is not possi- ble, copy or paste the data once to the User display, then copy or paste it again to the Card/USB display after changing the media. Demo How can I stop the demo? • Press the [EXIT] button. Help How can I leave the Help feature? • Press the [EXIT] button. Appendix 206 PSR-3000/1500 Owner's Manual
