Also, I would suggest keeping in mind that rebooting the Mark IV is not the
same as rebooting the Linux PC on which the Mark IV software runs.  So in
addition to Tom's suggestion of shutting down the Mark IV, I would wait
until it's completely shut down and then I would pull the plug on the PC,
wait 15 seconds, plug the PC back in, wait about 5 minutes to make sure the
PC is completely rebooted, and then restart the Mark IV.

Bruce,

 

I would suggest that you completely shut down your Mark IV.  Wait 30 seconds
and then restart your Mark IV and wait until it is fully booted up.  I find
that periodically my Mark IV will simply stop playing back completely
(although the cursor moves on The PRC-100 wireless remote) and that when
songs are recorded they are recorded with bad tempo, etc.  A re-boot as
described above has always solved the problem. If a re-boot does not solve
your Mark IV problem, then I would suggest a call to Yamaha Service is in
order. And no this is not a normal adjustment thing.

Hi group, a newbie here. We bought a MArk IV about 2 years ago and love it,
but lately it sounds as if the sync of the music is off. When a song is
being played, the tempo seems odd and seems to jump around. Or what I mean
is it doesnt really sound like someone is playing the piano- sounds
disjointed. I am unsure of how often these things need servicing etc. IS
this a normal adjustment thing or am I hearing things?-lol
