PSR-S970/S770 Owner’s Manual 109
Troubleshooting
USB Audio Player/Recorder
A message indicating the USB flash drive is unavailable appears,
and the recording is aborted.
Make sure to use a compatible USB flash drive (page 100).
The USB flash drive may not have enough memory. Check the
recordable time on the display (page 75).
If you are using a USB flash drive to which data has already been
recorded, check first that no important data remains on the device,
then format it (page 101) and try recording again.
Audio files cannot be selected. The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The
compatible formats are: MP3 and WAV. DRM protected files cannot
be played back.
An existing recorded file is played back at a different volume
compared to when it was recorded.
The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume
value to 100 plays back the file at the same volume as when it was
recorded (page 74).
Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than expected when
changing a rhythm Voice (Drum Kit, etc.) of the Style or Song
from the Mixer.
When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (Drum Kits, etc.) of
the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings
related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be
unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback,
you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of
the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style
play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style
again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony, Guitar
The microphone or guitar input signal cannot be recorded. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song record-
ing. Use the USB Audio Player/Recorder function (page 74).
(PSR-S970) Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone
sound.
Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 91).
(PSR-S970) The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-
tune.
Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds,
such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass
sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy
this:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a unidirectional microphone.
• Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume
control (pages 18, 57).
Foot Pedal
The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the FOOT
PEDAL jack is reversed.
Change the polarity settings: [FUNCTION] TAB [E] MENU 1
[D] CONTROLLER [I] (PEDAL POLARITY).
