    What to do if Style, Riyaz, or Song won't start on my Yamaha PSR-I400?
    • C
      Charles TuckerAug 20, 2025
      If the Style, Riyaz, or Song does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, or the Arpeggio does not start even when the note is pressed with the Arpeggio turned on, check the on/off status of the External Clock. Normally, set this parameter to OFF.

    What to do if the Yamaha PSR-I400 volume is too soft and the sound quality is poor?
    • S
      sgomezAug 22, 2025
      If the volume is too soft, the sound quality is poor, the Style/Riyaz/Song/Arpeggio stops unexpectedly or will not play, the recorded data of the Song does not play correctly or the LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset, the batteries may be low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new or completely recharged ones, or use the AC adapter.

      If you hear noise when using a mobile phone close to the Yamaha Musical Instrument, it might be due to interference. To fix this, either turn off the mobile phone or move it further away from the instrument.

      Justin GouldAug 26, 2025
      If no sound is produced when playing the keyboard, or a Song, Style, or Riyaz is being played back, check whether a set of headphones or an audio cable is connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT]. Also, check the on/off status of the Local Control, normally, set this parameter to ON.

    How to restore the normal sound on my Yamaha PSR-I400?
    • J
      Jocelyn NicholsAug 28, 2025
      If the keyboard performance and playback of Style/Riyaz/Song produces an unexpected or inappropriate sound that cannot be restored to the normal status, it may be caused by using the LIVE CONTROL Knobs, which can produce dramatic changes in the sound. If you want to restore the original sound, change the Voice, Style, Riyaz or Song, or press the [HARMONIUM/PIANO] button to reset the panel settings.

    Why are some voices cut off on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
    • K
      kelly27Aug 30, 2025
      If not all of the Voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off, when playing the keyboard, Arpeggio, Style, Riyaz or Song, you might have exceeded the maximum polyphony of 32 simultaneous notes. If the Main, Dual, and Split Voices are being used along with playback of Arpeggio, Style, Riyaz or Song, some notes/sounds may be omitted.

    Why does the sustain footswitch work in reverse on my Yamaha PSR-I400 Musical Instrument?
    • J
      Jeffrey DaySep 1, 2025
      If the footswitch produces the opposite effect, the polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power of your Yamaha Musical Instrument.

    Why is there no sound from the right hand area on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
    • J
      Jason SimpsonSep 3, 2025
      If no sound is produced when playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard, although chords played in the left hand area are recognized, it can happen when the Dictionary function is used. Check whether or not the Dictionary function is used.

    • C
      Carlos WestSep 4, 2025
      If the chords played in the left hand area cannot be recognized even when the ACMP is turned on, check the Split Point setting and set this to the appropriate value.
