Problem Possible Cause and Solution
GENERAL OPERATION
A cracking noise is sometimes heard. Noise may be produced when either an electrical appliance is turned on or off,
or an electric power tool (such as drill) is used in the proximity of the Electone.
If this occurs, plug the Electone into an electrical outlet located as far as
possible from the device that seems to be the source of the problem.
Interference from radio, TV, or other sources occurs. This is caused by the proximity of a high-power broadcasting station, an
amateur ham radio setup or a mobile phone.
Electone causes some noise. A cell phone may be used in the proximity of Electone. Using a cell phone
beside the Electone may cause a noise. Turn off the power of the cell phone.
Radio/ or TV generates some noise. Locating a radio/ or TV close to the Electone causes to produce a noise from it.
Relocate it farther from the Electone.
The sound of the Electone causes surrounding Because the Electone is capable of producing powerful bass sounds, resonance

alter the contents of memorized data. In this case, turn off the power switch and
then turn the power back to on while holding down the PEDAL/2 button in the
Keyboard Percussion section (Power-On Reset).
VOICES/RHYTHMS
The pitch seems to be higher on the Pedalboard and You may feel it especially when playing piano voice. The temperament for the

configuration of the piano voice is so complicated that the actual notes in the
higher and lower registers are difficult to be adjusted. On the contrary, the
Electone voices including piano voice are tuned by actual notes. Thus, the
tuning method itself in the higher and lower registers is different.
Some voices seems to contain crack or distorted noise. You may feel it mainly with wind instrument voices. These are purposely built
in effects, which can faithfully reproduce the characteristics of each instrument.
You can enjoy more realistic sounds such as brass vibration and breath noise.
