FAQ
Can it run on batteries?
These models can use batteries. Use four “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/ Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel and insert the four batteries.
Why is the volume low for certain Voices / tone ranges?
Each Voice of the PSS-A50 is set so that the optimum sound can be produced by the built-in speakers. For this reason, Voices that produce low-pitched sounds, such as bass Voices, are set at a low volume so that the sound does not distort. (In addition to bass Voices, the volume might also be low when using octave shift to play in the bass range.) Although it is not possible to set the volume to the same level as other Voices such as piano and brass, you can turn off the Touch Response setting to produce a constant volume.
