Dead SX900?

[mixermixer]

A family friend that had a SX900 told me recently that his SX900 apparently can't produce any sounds. I told him to contact Yamaha support but he sold it off as parts/not working to someone else. His SX900 was bought brand new from Kraft Music in USA, but this was a while back so the warranty is probably beyond expired.

Anyone else seen this?

It does not have to be a malfunction at all, but can be adjusted in the settings. If you turn off LOCAL CONTROL, the keyboard has no sound at all.

Hi mixermixer,

This can have different causes. The first thing I would check is that the headphone output is working and that a headphone adapter (6.3 to 3.5 mm) is not accidentally plugged into the headphone jack (which normally disables the internal speakers).

Also make sure that the "Speaker" parameter under "Menu > Utility > Speaker/Connectivity" is NOT set to "Off", but either to "Headphone Switch" (= default setting) or to "On" (= speakers are always on, even if a headphone plug is connected).

Check (in conjunction with external, active speakers) whether you have an output signal at the Main Output and the Sub/Aux Output jacks. Also make sure that under "Menu > Line Out" all parts are routed to "Main" (i.e. not to "Sub 1/2").

To make sure that "Local Control" is not set to Off (as already mentioned by ckobu), set the preset MIDI template "All Parts" in "Menu > MIDI".

By the way, if you have any pedals/foot switches connected, try unplugging them BEFORE turning on the keyboard.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris
