What to do if my Yamaha PSR-E353 Electronic Keyboard volume is too soft and the sound quality is poor?
If the volume is too soft, the sound quality is poor, the rhythm stops unexpectedly, recorded data doesn't play correctly or the LCD display goes dark, it probably means that the batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the included AC adapter.
Why does my Yamaha PSR-E353 Electronic Keyboard style not sound properly?
Make sure that the Style Volume is set to an appropriate level. Also, ensure the Split Point is set to a key appropriate for the chords you're playing and that the ACMP ON indicator is showing in the display. If it's not showing, press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.
