      Amy ReillyAug 13, 2025
      If the overall volume is low, or no sound is heard, it may be due to several reasons: * The Master Volume may be set too low. Adjust it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. * Headphones might be connected to the headphones jack. Ensure that headphones are not connected. * Local Control might be OFF. Ensure that Local Control is ON.

      Joshua TaylorAug 25, 2025
      If your Yamaha Musical Instrument isn't recognizing the USB storage device, it might be due to the timing of the device connection. Try this: If the [USB] indicator is already lit by pressing of the [SONG SELECT] button, re-select the [USB] indicator after turning the [USB] indicator off by pressing the [SONG SELECT] button. If it still doesn't work, the device might not be supported by Yamaha.
