What to do if there is no sound when playing Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700?
If you can't hear any sound when playing your Yamaha musical instrument's keyboard, check if LOCAL OFF is selected for either the left- or right-hand section. If it is, set it to LOCAL ON as described on page 76.
Why does Yamaha Musical Instrument have no sound when rhythm is started?
If the rhythm doesn't sound when started on your Yamaha musical instrument, it might be because some sections of certain styles lack data in the rhythm track. Try turning on Auto Accompaniment and playing a suitable chord; the Auto Accompaniment should then begin to play.
What to do if auto accompaniment won't function properly on Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Musical Instrument?
Auto accompaniment on your Yamaha musical instrument may not function correctly, and you might not hear any sound from the lower keyboard if you're using SINGLE type fingering while the SINGLE mode isn't selected. Also, make sure you are playing in the Auto-Accompaniment section of the keyboard and that you’re playing chords that the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can recognize (refer to chord types on pages 26, 27, and 28).
How to fix selected voice not sounding on Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700?
If the selected voice on your Yamaha musical instrument doesn't sound when you play the keyboard, ensure that the orchestration part to which the voice is assigned is turned ON. Also, verify that the voice volume parameter for the orchestration part is set to an appropriate level, as explained on page 14.
What to do if song memory track indicator does not go out when the track is cleared on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If the Song Memory track indicator on your Yamaha musical instrument doesn't turn off after clearing a track, it's possible that you initiated the clear function from a point in the middle of the track, which only cleared the data after that point. To resolve this, press the [RESET] button to return to the beginning of the track, and then clear the track again.
Why voice parameter changes do not affect the desired voice on Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Musical Instrument?
If voice parameter changes aren't affecting the intended voice on your Yamaha musical instrument, ensure that the edit mode for the voice to which you're applying the changes is turned ON.
What to do if not all simultaneously-played notes sound on Yamaha Musical Instrument?
If you're not hearing all the notes you play simultaneously on your Yamaha musical instrument, you're likely exceeding its maximum polyphony. The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can play up to 28 notes concurrently, including split, dual, auto-accompaniment, and multi pad notes. Any notes beyond this limit won't sound. The same applies to the 26-note polyphony of the PSR-2700 sampled voices.
Why Yamaha Musical Instrument speakers produce a “pop” sound when turned on or off?
