      If your Kawai Musical Instrument is on but produces no sound when you press the keys, check the following: * Ensure the MASTER VOLUME slider isn't at its lowest setting. * Make sure headphones or a headphone adapter aren't plugged into the PHONES jacks. * Verify the SPEAKER ON/OFF switch (located on the rear connectors) is not set to Off. * Confirm that the Local Control setting in the MIDI Settings menu is set to On. * Check the MASTER VOLUME slider is at an appropriate level, reducing the volume if you hear distortion.

    What to do if my USB device isn't detected by my Kawai ES520 Musical Instrument?

      If your Kawai Musical Instrument isn't detecting your USB memory device, or if you can't save to it, try these steps: 1. Ensure the USB device is formatted to the FAT/FAT32 filesystem and isn't in 'Write Protect' mode. 2. Disconnect the USB device, turn the instrument off and then on again, and reconnect the USB device. 3. If it still doesn't work, the USB device might be damaged or incompatible. Try using a different USB device. 4. Note that using very large capacity USB memory devices may cause this behavior.

    Why does my SMF MIDI file sound strange on my Kawai Musical Instrument?

      Jose TorresAug 20, 2025
      If an SMF MIDI file sounds strange when played back on your Kawai Musical Instrument, it might be because the ES520 digital piano doesn't contain the complete General MIDI sound bank selection. As a result, some SMF song files may not be reproduced with complete accuracy.
