Hello, I am a new member of this forum. I have looked for section for the CDPs but as there is not I have followed others by posting in this section. Apologies in advance if I have missed any of the site's rules. I recently bought a CDP-230R online and have been very pleased with the overall quality of the product at the price tag. However I have an issue with the LCD display, with is very very difficult to see from almost any angle or distance. I understand that is typical of LCDs however the Contrast settings don't seem to do any change at all and that has lead me to think it might be faulty. Of the 17 levels of contrast, all of them make the LCD look exactly the same. The vendor is trying to convince me that this is normal and there is nothing wrong with the piano. But I ask myself why would have Casio offered that setting if it doesn't change anything? I have no access to any other CDP-230R to compare so I would appreciate if you could share with me your experience. Best regards

I find that sometimes the accompaniment interprets keys as the incorrect chords, e.g. G-B-Eflat plays as Gaug instead of Eflatdim. I have tried changing the Chords betwee F1, F2, F3 but that doesn't help. I don't play using CC or FRC. Any idea how to 'fix' this, other than releaning the fingering?

Hi, I have purchased a Casio piano CDP 230R. I think there is program issue in this model as well as other several Casio keyboard models. Description of the issue: When the Registration Bank feature is activate (keys 1,2,3, or 4) certain group of black / white keys are disabled when I try to play them at the same time. After the piano is restarted the issue disappear unless I re-activate registration bank feature. Steps to reproduce the error: Step 1: Start the piano/keyboard and play first group of 3 black keys at the same time (polyphony) -> all three keys work and you can hear the polyphony sound; Step 2: Play the first group of white keys which surround the first group of two black keys -> all three white keys work and you can hear the polyphony sound. Step 3: From the registration bank select any key from 1 to 4 then press the Start/Stop button -> the background song will start; Step 4: Repeat steps 1 and 2 -> the group of 3 black keys or white keys do not play. They are deactivated in polyphony mode; Step 5: Press Stat/Stp button to stop the background rhythm and repeat steps 1 and 2 -> the group of 3 black keys and white keys are disabled; Step 6: restart the piano / keyboard -> everything is normal now and polyphony works. Note: individual keys are still working when registration bank is active. I tried few Casio models: CTK3200, WK6600, CTK6200 and they all have this issue: I tried models: CTK200 and a Privia model and they do not have this issue I tried few Yamaha and Roland keyboards and none of them has the issue. Is it s know issue with casio and requires un upgrade of the firmware? can someone give an advice? I intend to return the piano. Thanks, Marian

Hi, guys! Again, this is my blind piano sound test Yamaha P-35b VS Casio CDP-130. Where sound is better? Thanks for listening! Hope on your feedbacks. Please, NO SPOILER! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L3qBvYPDJk Need answer? Mail me! P.S. Sorry, one piano has reverb EFX more than another.. I recorded instruments in different time.
