The sound distorts when playing at
very loud volume levels.
Check that the MASTER VOLUME slider is set to an appropriate level,
reducing the volume if excessive distortion is heard.
pp. 13
Strange sounds or noises are heard
when playing with piano sounds.
The CA93/CA63 digital piano attempts to reproduce the rich variety
of tones created by an acoustic grand piano as accurately as possible.
This includes string resonances and damper noises, and other subtle
characteristics that contribute to the overall piano playing experience.
While these additional tones are intended to enhance the realism of
the instrument, it is possible to reduce their prominence, or disable the
eects altogether using the functions in the Virtual Technician menu.
pp. 54
Headphones
The headphone volume is too low.
Check the technical specications of the headphones.
If the ‘Nominal Impedance’ specication of the headphones is less
than 100  (ohms), please set the ‘Phones Volume’ setting in the ‘Basic
Settings’ menu to ‘High’.
pp. 50
Pedals
The pedals are unreliable or do not
function at all.
Check that the pedal cable is rmly connected to the instrument (CA63). pp. 92
When depressing a pedal, the pedal
board exes and is not rm.
Check that the pedal support bolt is fully extended. pp. 15
USB
A USB memory device is not detected,
cannot be saved to, or does not appear
to function when connected to the
‘USB to Device’ port.
Check that the USB memory device is formatted to use the FAT/FAT32
lesystem, and not set to ‘Write Protect’ mode.
Disconnect the USB memory device, turn the instrument o then on,
then reconnect the USB memory device. If the USB memory device
still does not function, it may be damaged or incompatible. Please try
using a dierent USB memory device.
pp. 88
The instrument pauses briey when
connecting a USB memory device.
This is recognised behaviour when using very large capacity (e.g. 8GB+)
USB memory devices.
pp. 88
MP3/WAV/SMF Audio
No sound can be heard when playing
an MP3/WAV audio le stored on a
USB memory device.
Check that the audio player volume is not set to 0.
Check that the format of the audio le is supported and listed in the
‘Audio Player supported format specications’ table.
pp. 43
pp. 42
An MP3/WAV audio le stored on a
USB memory device sounds strange,
or does not play back at all.
Check that the format of the audio le is supported and listed in the
‘Audio Player supported format specications’ table.
The le transfer speed of the USB memory device may be too slow to
play the audio le. Please try using a dierent USB memory device,
ensuring that it conforms to USB2.0 Hi-Speed standards.
pp. 42
pp. 89
An SMF MIDI le stored on a USB
memory device sounds strange when
played back.
The CA93/CA63 digital piano does not contain the full General MIDI
sound bank selection. Consequently, some SMF song les may not be
reproduced entirely accurately when played through the instrument.
