Korg Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

if it's the old analog version, there should be a tuning knob in the group of controls on the left hand side by the drawbars.

It is inside the unit. You will need to open it up. The battery is flat like a quarter. Sometimes it is inserted under a cover. Look carefully, you will find it.

normally good policy is to replace any faulty plug in socket and the jack lead on sound equipment gaffer tapping the power input plug wont help much anything pushed... is no good note that severe feed back has a good chance of blowing the device

try resetting it to its factory setting,

Yes, just the same cmos battery the desktop computer use. easy to replace, located on the main control board.

You need to make sure the device memory is not full, that is the most likely problem here.

THAT COULD MEAN FIRMWARE IS CORRUPTED. TRY RESETING IT.

Your best answer would come from Korg. Itself. Here's the link- http://www.korg.com/us/support/contact

hot connections indicate a short or bad connection ( like an arc welder ) loose wires or solder dry joint or broken wires creating a high resistance and heat in this area

Is the preamp or channel strip set.to Line level or Mic level?
If ita not at line level then it is trying to push signal out that isnt loud enough, hense the distortion

If you have electronic expeerience, take it to a repair shop. You can cause more damage okiong around if you don't know what you're doing. Past that, contact Korg customer service for the schematic and parts list. The part should be available from Korg directly of from Mouser http://www.korg.com/us/support/contact Korg Parts Parts Is Parts Guitar Parts Amplifier Parts Korg Keyboard Parts Mouser Electronics Electronic Components Distributor Korg Full Compass

My experience with these is fairly limited. I find they have to be happy in all respects before they will work at all. When we had our digital switchover the signal strength quadrupled and many top boxes just stopped working while others kept freezing or pixelating. It wasn't until suitable attenuators had been fitted they settled down and began to work. Lots of people who bought hdd recorders found them unsatisfactory and I know one guy who tried four before he found one that worked for him. My first hdd recorder had a very short life so I upgraded and got an even worse one so I complained to the manufacturer. After several emails it seemed my new purchase had the oldest software version available. Since the software has been updated it has been quite acceptable. You didn't say whether the trouble was with playback or tv viewing but I speculate there isn't much wrong if the device boots ok. The software will be stored behind a partition on the hdd. I suggest you check your signal strength and then try updating the software before resorting to sending the unit back for service.

You have bad contacts on some of your keys. The keyboard has to be taken apart, and electronic contact cleaner has to be sprayed into the contacts to clean them. Press the keys repeatedly to spread the cleaner into the contacts. If the contacts are too badly pitted/rusted from water or other liquid damage, cleaning will not help.

The import needs to happen from a computer (or a CD-RW) >D3200, not from a flash drive or backup drive.

The contacts are probably dirty or bent. The keyboard is relatively easy to remove if you have any experience.
