Hello everybody, I have had the CT-X800 for one month now and there is one feature which is great for kids but pretty annoying when you are in the middle of a music creation process and you are making a pause to drink a coffee or whatever, this is the Auto-power Off Function, which automatically cuts the power of the CT-X off after half an hour of not using it. If you happen not to have saved your settings before making a pause, when you come back to your keyboard, you'll see that all your settings are lost, and this is quite annoying if you’ve not saved them in a registration. Of course you can always disable the Auto-power off function from the Function menu, but as many functions in the CT-X line, the process is rather tedious and it is quite boring to have to repeat it each time you are powering the keyboard on. There is a workaround, though, and it is to use a registration memory slot to disable the auto-power off. I’ll explain to you how I have done this. Before starting, I’d suggest you use Bank 8 Slot 4, which you are not likely to use for something else. Here is the full process to deactivate the auto-power off: 1. Select the Function menu. 2. Use the “-“ key on the numeric keypad to go back in the function list until you reach “Other” (normally, you will have to press the “-“ key only once). 3. Press “Enter”. 4. Use the left arrow key on the numeric keypad until you reach “AutoOff”. 5. Use the “+” key on the numeric keypad to toggle the AutoOff function from “On” to “Off” (I know, this is quite confusing). When this is done, the keyboard will NOT auto-power itself off after half an hour, it will keep its power on until you power it off manually with the Power button. Here is now the procedure to save this disabled auto-power off setting in a registration memory slot: 1. Press the “Bank” button. 2. Press the “-“ button in the numeric keypad until you reach Bank 8. 3. Press the Store button and the button for Memory Slot 4 simultaneously. Voilà, you know have the registration slot 8-4 that you can recall at any time to disable the Auto-power off function. N.B.: 1. I advise you to recall this registration first thing when you power the keyboard on, because otherwise, when you’ll recall the function, of course you’ll recall the other settings which are stored in the same registration memory slot 8-4 as well. 2. I described the procedure for the CT-X700/800, but it won’t differ much on the CT-X3000/5000, I suggest that you go look in the Manual to check all the steps of the procedure. Hope this helps.

Hello guys, Yesterday all the buttons stopped working, nonetheless, the on-off switch works, as well as the volume knob, so I can still use the piano in the default mode (Grand Piano). The lights on the panel turn on normally, but buttons don't respond nor do anything at all (display/lights don't change). I didn't do anything strange to the piano, it just happened out of the blue. Any ideas or possible solutions? I checked and there is no operation lock on this model. Thank you.

Hiya, I'm looking for a little help with my PX-735 Privia, i couldn't see this model on the main page so hopefully someone who can help sees my post. Long story short, I've just got my Piano back today after having issues with a couple of loud keys, thankfully the fault was identified, parts were replaced and it's back home, fixed and working perfect in the default mode however upon attempting to change my tone I realised my Function button was not working, not to mention all the buttons on my left panel (function, play, recorder,modern, classic & mellow) the only thing that works on the panel is the volume nob, the LED's for L & R are illuminated as is the 'modern' grand piano LEDs is it possible something has gone wrong while this was getting fixed, or is this in some kind of back up mode that I need to de-activate ?? I'm hoping this is a simple fix or am I heading back to the piano shop for more repairs? thanks Keaton.
