face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Listees and Listers, <BR><BR>I =
don't do too
much work on pianos with disc systems in them, but I do tune them
occasionally, because some of the people who install them don't tune.
Anyway, I get to a customer's house, and she wants me to see if =
I can
add another speaker to her Pianomation 2000CD+ system so that the =
accompanying
music will be in stereo. If I had done my research beforehand, I =
would
have saved myself a bit of time and grief, because I found out later =
that they
can't play in stereo--channel 2 is used to drive the player unit. =
<BR><BR>I
turned the player on, and it wasn't making any sound, so I turned the =
volume
up a little. Unfortunately, the volume went all the way up to =
40--it's
maximum output. Efforts with both the remote and the buttons on =
the unit
itself proved futile. As soon as I released whichever button I =
was
pushing, it would go back up to 40. I could get no other =
display.
<BR><BR>I called my friend who installs these to see if he could help. =
We ran through a few simple tests that didn't work, including =
turning it
off and unplugging it to let the capacitors drain, then turning it =
back on.
I looked to make sure the window was lined up correctly so that =
the unit
could read the remote signal. <BR><BR>I finally figured it out, =
and it
was painfully simple. Can anyone figure this out? <BR><BR>Dave
