I picked up a DKC850 at the local Yamaha dealer yesterday, he said to try it, if it works and I like it, then come back in a few days and pay for it, or return it. Sounded like a great deal so I went for it.
;
He said that instead of re-wiring the whole piano, what would be easiest would be to plug the 850 into the MIDI-IN port on the existing DKC100R, then just use the 100R as a pass-through device, and all should work fine, and I could unplug the MU50 because the 850 will duplicate what the MU50 does and do it better.
Followed those instructions, got it working, kind of. It played about 75% of a song from the 850 then the sound just stopped, no error message, and per the 850 display, it was still playing? I also get a humming out of the Pioneer speakers mounted on the bott om of the piano that was never there before.
Also, there was no way I could get it to have anything other than the piano -- no drums, strings, bass, nothing.
Suggestions?

Jon, when you installed the DKC-850, did you set PianoType equal to Replace or to Add?
