Possible Causes and SolutionsPossible Causes and Solutions
When the W8808A is turned on or off,
a popping sound is temporarily
produced.
This is normal and indicates that this
instrument is receiving electrical power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is
produced.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the
W8808A may produce interference. To prevent
this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further
away from the W8808A.
There is no sound even when the
keyboard is played or when a song is
being played back.
Check that nothing is connected to the
PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel.
When a set of headphones is plugged into this
jack, no sound is output.
The sound of the voices or rhythms
seems unusual or strange
The battery power is too low. Replace the
batteries.
The accompaniment does not sound
properly.
Make sure that the Accompaniment Volume is
set to an appropriate level.
The voice chosen does not sound
properly, or the volume is too low.
Make sure the settings are appropriate: master
volume, dual balance
Not all of the voices seem to sound,
or the sound seems to be cut off.
The W8808A is polyphonic up to a maximum of
64 notes. If the Dual voice is being used and a
style or song is playing back at the same time,
some notes/sounds may be omitted (or
stolen ) from the accompaniment or song.
The sound of a voice changes from
note to note.
This is normal. The AWM tone generation
method uses multiple recordings (samples) of
an instrument across the range of the
keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice
may be slightly different from note to note.
The foot switch (for sustain) seems to
produce the opposite effect. For
example, pressing the foot switch
cuts off the sound and releasing it
sustains the sounds.
The polarity of the foot switch is reversed.
Make sure that the foot switch plug is properly
connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning
on the power.
