    Why does Song playback not start on my Yamaha PSR-A2000?
    • L
      Lindsey SalinasAug 27, 2025
      Song playback on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard might not start because: * The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. To resolve this, return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [?] (STOP) button. * In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied, it cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. * In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied, rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name). * In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied, Songs to which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed.
