Yamaha QS300 Owner's Manual - Page 208

Troubleshooting The following table provides troubleshooting hints and page references for some common problems. Since the QS300 is a complicated device with many function, most problems are simply the result of incorrect settings. Before calling for professional service, refer to the troubleshooting advice below to see if you can find and correct the cause of the problem. Problem No power. No sound. Pressing R does not start playback. Cannot record or playback a Song. Also, the tempo cannot be set. Chord in Chord Window (Song display) changes unexpectedly. Cannot enter Voice Edit mode, Voice Job, Pattern mode, or Phrase mode. No metronome sound. Panel buttons do not work; cannot select other modes, etc. The drum sounds in a User Phrase are wrong or unexpected. Cannot enter Edit mode. Some notes on the keyboard do not sound. Possible Cause Is the power cable fully inserted? • Is the volume set appropriately? • Are the volume settings for each track (page 73) appropriate? • Are there enough free Elements? • Are the Note Limit settings (page 49) appropriate? • Is Local (Utility, page 190) set to off? • If you are using the Song mode, are any of the tracks being muted (page 69)? • Does the selected Song, Pattern, or Phrase actually contain data? • Is MIDI Sync (Utility, page 192) set to MIDI? If so, the word "MIDI" appears in place of the Tempo parameter at the top of the Song display, and pressing R does not start recording or playback. Start playback from a connected MIDI device, or set MIDI Sync to int. • Is Fingered Chord (page 193) set to on? • Is the Chord window currently highlighted (page108)? (Move the highlight elsewhere to prevent inadvertent chord changes.) Is System Mode (Utility, page 189) set to TG-B? Is Click Mode (Utility, page 192) set properly? Is Record set to standby? (If RECORD lamp is on, you cannot enter other modes; press STOP first to take record out of standby.) Did you set the Type to drums (Dr) when recording the Phrase (page 131)? • Are you pressing EDIT in Pattern mode? (Pattern mode does not have an Edit mode.) • In the Song mode, are you pressing EDIT while the Pattern or Chord track is high- lighted? (In Song mode, Song Edit cannot be called up for the Pattern or Chord tracks.) If the Fingered Chord Switch and the Fng parameter in the Song or Pattern mode display are both set to on, the keys in the specified Fingered Chord zone will not sound normally, but will be used to determine the accompaniment chords.
