Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with the C-190, please read
the following before assuming that there is a malfunc-
tion.
IThe C-190 cannot be switched on
Is the adapter connected properly (page 9)?
INo sound is produced
Is the [VOLUME] slider set to the minimum position
(page 9)?
Are headphones connected? Disconnect them
(page 9).
ICannot hear the PEDAL sound
Is the [PEDAL] slider set to the minimum position
(page 9)?
Does the indicator of one of the PEDAL tabs light?
Did you connect a MIDI cable to the PEDAL IN socket?
In that case, the PEDAL division needs to be played
from a PK-series pedal unit.
ICannot select orchestral sounds
Does the [ORCHESTRA] button light? If not, press it.
IThe organ sounds are not available
Does the [ORCHESTRA] indicator light? Press it so
that its indicator goes dark.
ITwo sounds are produced when the keyboard is
played
Did you press a MANUAL II tilt tab (whose indicator
now lights)? Switch it off.
IThe pitch of the keyboard seems incorrect
Is the [TUNE] setting correct (page 16)?
Is the transpose setting correct (page 17)?
Is the temperament setting correct (page 17)?
IThe C-190 does not respond to your playing
Did you select the Demo mode? Leave that mode
(page 10).
IWhile the ORCHESTRA indicator lights, some
sounds are transposed one octave down when a
PEDAL sound is selected
This is normal and intended to provide a more natu-
ral distribution of the pitches for the left and right
sections.
IThe MANUAL I sound is not available to the left
of the split point
Did you switch on at least one MANUAL I tilt tab after
switching off the [II÷I] tilt tab?
IBass notes sound wrong/buzzing or vibration
occurs
If you don't hear the problem in the headphones:
When playing at high volumes, resonance may occur
in the instrument itself, or in objects near the C-190.
C-190 Portable Organ
At times, other objects in the room, such as fluores-
cent lights or glass doors, could start vibrating. To
minimize such unwanted resonance, please observe
the following:
• Locate the instrument at least 10~15 cm away from
the walls.
• Reduce the volume.
• Increase the distance from the object that is resonat-
ing.
If you can hear the problem in the headphones, there
may be another reason. Please contact your dealer.
IWhen the C-190 is connected to an external
device
Are the connections between the C-190 and the MIDI
sequencer or the other external device correct
(page 23)?
