YDP-184 Owner’s Manual

Rhythm does not start.

“SynchStart” setting is on. Set “SynchStart” off in the “Metronome/Rhythm” menu display.

The contents of the Wireless
LAN is not shown in the
display even though the USB
wireless LAN adaptor is
connected.

Disconnect the USB wireless LAN adaptor and connect it again.

Sound input via the [AUX IN]
jack is interrupted.

The Noise Gate function of this instrument cuts unwanted noise from the input sound. However, this may result in
wanted sounds also being cut, such as the soft decay sound of a piano. This is normal and not a sign of
malfunction.
