Why does my Roland Musical Instrument sound wrong or buzzy?

  If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down the volume. Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near the unit to resonate. You can take the following measures to minimize resonances: * Locate this unit 10–15 cm (4–6 inch) away from walls or other surfaces. * Keep the volume down. * Move away from the objects that are resonating.

  Ensure the pedal cord is firmly plugged into the pedal connector. Also, you must switch off the unit’s power before connecting or disconnecting the pedal cord. If Twin Piano is on, the right pedal will apply only to the right-hand section of the keyboard, and the left pedal will apply only to the left-hand section of the keyboard.
