Troubleshooting
Problem Cause/Action
All LEDs other than
the [ ] (POWER)
button are blinking
Excessive current ow occurred at the USB MEMORY port.
Check whether there might be a problem with the USB ash drive. Next,
turn the power o, then back on again.
The speakers
produce sound
even though
headphones are
connected
Could the headphones be connected to the OUTPUT jack instead of the
PHONES jack (p. 4)?
Even though youre
using headphones
and the sound is
muted, a thumping
sound is heard
when you play the
keyboard
This unit uses a hammer action keyboard in order to simulate an acoustic
piano’s playing touch as realistically as possible. For this reason, you’ll hear
the hammers thump when you play the keyboard, just as you would when
playing an acoustic piano. Since this unit allows you to adjust its volume,
you might notice the sound of the hammers in certain situations, but this
does not indicate a malfunction. If vibration transmitted to the oor or
walls is a concern, you may be able to minimize the vibration by moving
the piano away from the wall, or by laying down a commercially available
anti-vibration mat designed for use with pianos.
Power turns o on
its own
When 30 minutes have elapsed since you last played or operated this unit,
the power will turn o automatically (This is the factory setting).
If you don’t need the power to turn o automatically, turn the Auto O
setting “OFF” (p. 5).
Power does not
turn on
Is the AC adaptor connected correctly (p. 4)?
Pedal does not
work, or is “stuck”
Is the pedal connected correctly?
Plug the cord rmly into the PEDAL jack (p. 4).
No sound/
No sound when you
play back a song
Could the unit’s volume be turned down?
Could headphones be connected?
The speakers will not produce sound if headphones is connected to the
PHONES jack (p. 4).
Pitch of the
keyboard or song is
incorrect
Could you have made Transpose settings (p. 7)?
Is the Master Tune setting appropriate (p. 7)?
The notes of a piano are tuned using a unique method (stretched tuning),
which makes upper-range notes slightly higher in pitch, and lower-range
notes slightly lower in pitch. For this reason, you might perceive the pitch
as being incorrect, but this is the way an acoustic piano should sound.
Sounds are heard
twice (doubled)
when the keyboard
is played
Could you have selected a dual tone (p. 2)?
The sound of
the higher notes
suddenly changes
from a certain key
On an acoustic piano, the approximately one and a half octaves of notes
at the upper end of the keyboard will continue sounding regardless of the
damper pedal. These notes also have a somewhat dierent tonal character.
This unit faithfully simulate this characteristic of acoustic pianos. On
this unit, the range that is unaected by the damper pedal will change
according to the transpose setting.
High-pitched
ringing is heard
If you hear this in headphones:
Piano sounds that have a brilliant and crisp character contain substantial
high-frequency components that may sound as though a metallic ringing
has been added. This is because the characteristics of an actual piano are
being faithfully reproduced, and is not a malfunction.
This ringing is more obtrusive if the reverb eect is applied heavily, so you
may be able to minimize it by decreasing the reverb.
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason (such as resonances within the
unit). Please contact your dealer or the nearest Roland service center.
Volume is reduced
The volume will be reduced if you connect a USB device to the USB
MEMORY port. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Problem Cause/Action
Sound wrong, or
are buzzy
If you set the volume to the maximum setting, the sound may be distorted
depending on how you perform. If this occurs, turn down the volume.
If you don’t hear this in headphones:
Performing at high volumes may cause the speakers or objects near
the unit to resonate. Fluorescent lights or glass doors may also resonate
sympathetically. In particular, this is more likely to occur for lower notes
and higher volumes. You can take the following measures to minimize
resonances.
Locate this unit 30 cm (12 inch) away from walls or other surfaces.
Keep the volume down.
Move away from the objects that are resonating.
If you hear this in headphones:
It is likely that there is some other reason. Please contact your dealer or a
nearby Roland service center.
Power turns o
In some cases, playing back extremely high-volume SMF or WAV data from
a USB ash drive may cause the protection circuit to operate, turning the
power o.
If this occurs, reduce the volume.
When Using the Wireless LAN Function
Problem Cause/Action
Can’t connect to a
wireless LAN access
point
Make sure that your wireless LAN access point supports WPS.
If your wireless LAN access point does not support WPS, you can connect
using the procedure described in “Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode (p. 8).
The 802.11a/b wireless standard is not supported. Please use the
802.11g/n (2.4 GHz) wireless standard.
The WEP authentication method is not supported. Please use the WPA or
WPA2 authentication method.
Make sure that DHCP is enabled for your wireless LAN access point.
The connection might not occur successfully due to the state of the
radio signal. If so, use the procedure described in “Basic Connection
Method (Connect by WPS)” (p. 8), and reconnect your wireless LAN access
point.
There is a limit to the connection data that can be remembered. Making
a new connection may cause older connection data to be deleted.
All connection data will be deleted if you execute a factory reset. If the
connection data has been deleted, please re-connect to the wireless
LAN access point.
Communication is
unstable
Communication may be unstable depending on the usage of the radio
frequency spectrum.
If communication is unstable, the response may be sluggish, or if using
audio communication, there may be dropouts in the audio.
The following actions may improve the situation.
Move the wireless LAN access point and the F-20 closer to each other.
Change the channel setting of the wireless LAN access point.
The F-20 is not
found in the instru-
ment connections
of the iOS app (such
as “Air Performer”)
Is the F-20 turned on?
Is the wireless USB adapter (WNA1100-RL) inserted to the F-20?
Is the F-20 connected to the wireless LAN?
Are the F-20 and the iPhone connected to the same network (the same
wireless LAN access point)?
Is the wireless LAN access point set to allow communication between
wireless LAN devices?
For details on settings, refer to the owner’s manual of your wireless LAN
access point.
