4-6 Damping Adjustment
Adjustment of Key-Return Damping
Maintenance-mode adjustment of key-return damping is provided on models starting from MarkII PK-CTL
V1.23. PRO models do not include this adjustment (since control continues through key-return movement).
Purpose:
To suppress noise generated when keys begin return during playback, a momentary reverse force is applied
to the key by the solenoid at the start of key return. This is adjusted using the damping adjustment feature
described here.
Operation
Enter maintenance mode: Hold down [ ] and [ ] and switch on the power.
Press [R] 11 times (or 8 times, if model DGT2IIXG or DGT7).
Press [PLAY] to start.
