I bought this used PX-560 with a stand and damper pedal (SP3), a 3 pedals also an x stand with a very low price. I was so excited I forgot to try the 3 pedals. I was assumed the 3 pedals is SP 33, last night I asked the previous owner, he told me that the stand and the 3 pedals are not a default SP33 for PX-560. It actually a SP30 from his previous PX 110 or 120 (he forgot which) that he put the PX 560 on to the stand (and the 3 pedals) - with a little adjustment on the stand to fit the PX 560, he said he forgot when exactly it get reversed before or after it placed on the PX 560 . I just realize yesterday that 3 pedals are in reverse "polarity", are there any way to adjust or reverse the polarity of a SP30 for PX 560?

Does SP-33 pedal connector use a TS plug? or should I find an adaptor from pedal connector to a TS plug?

Hi Brad, sorry to jump into this topic, but how do I change the polarity of my three pedals on the PX 560? I've read the manual, and can't find the information.

Thanks for your responses. New update. My keyboard works again. I originally wanted to do Popsel's suggestion, but before that I checked the physical condition of the keyboard once again. After I looked, it turned out there was a crack behind the keyboard next to the left (L OUT) connector. I'm not sure if it was like that when I bought it. Ok, that means there is a possibility that the connector has a problem. I tried again to do a factory reset, but this time I waited a little longer, and voila, it turned on after I didn't know how long. After I felt the system for a while, there was a feeling that the touchscreen was a bit chaotic and the response to pressing buttons was very slow. So I did a factory reset again. And after turning it on, I left the keyboard on without using it at all for about 15 minutes. And after that I felt the system was normal. I reinstalled my active speaker once again, but I used the right (R OUT) connector, and it turned out that the sound came out good and normal. But this means the OUT connector cannot be used in stereo because I don't want to try the left (L OUT) Connector just yet. I want to first look for parts that might be damaged, I hope the service manual is useful for this. In conclusion: First: pay good attention when buying used keyboards, Second: be careful if you have children under 12 years old at home, sensitive electronic items should be placed in a safe place. For the last part, I don't mean accusing my son, but just reminding him 😁

I also found this file, hopefully it can help people who needs them : MZ-X300 Service Manual

Right now my keyboard can not be started, it stopped after animation, and Casio Logo, and just freeze there, even after I waited for 45 minutes. I have tried the factory settings steps (pressing tempo up and down before start button), but don't do anything. The off button still works, so I still have hope. I don't have time and stomach to repaired it my self - I have a history to breaks my own personal things I tried to repair. Most likely I will go the repair man, but if only after I know what's wrong- that would be ideal.

There is a version 1.0 MZ-X500 Service manual : https://www.casiomusiacforums.com/index.php?/files/file/1571-casio-mz-x500-service-manuals/

I just bought a used MZ-X500 in a bit of a bruised condition, but when I tried it it was good and usable, considering it was 35% cheaper than the current used market price - maybe I should have been suspicious because of the price. As soon as I got home I installed the latest firmware, and there were no problems. Until this morning, when I tried for the first time to connect with external speakers. I don't know if this is related, but here is the sequence of events: First I attached a connector cable from one of the outputs to the speaker. Then I turned on the start button, the screen lit up until it said CASIO, then stopped. I waited for about 10-15 minutes, finally I turned it off by pressing the button normally. Any ideas why this is happened? please advise.

Thanks Alex for the input.. I just bought a MZ-X500, I already have a used Yamaha DGX 670, and after I tried the PR SX600, I think they (DGX 670 and SX600) are quite similar, in feel and sounds. Strangely, my DGX 670 and MZ-X500 (both bought used), priced the same as a new SX600 !! . So I think I get a good deal.. Hope I have the patience to play around with this new toy. My plan is to use MZ-X500 with my previously bought used PX-560 on stage.

Has anyone ever made a "comparison" on the MZX 500 with the Yamaha PSR SX600? I may have the opportunity to buy one of them with used condition. I tend to choose Casio because of the price, but if anyone has experience with both of them, please share. Thank You

This is it, thanks Brad...modulation wheel OFF position IS all the way down. My new PX 560 is now operational !!
