Hello everyone. If there is anyone out there that could assist me with my KN2000, it would be appreciated. It lights but no sound. I have reinitialized it and removed any and all patch cords plugged into it. Still no sound. It was working at night then nothing in the morning. Help!!

I don't have a Technics but depending upon where you are located but there may be a repair guy to help.

Good luck

Hi Don, I moved this post to the Technics Forum here for you because you will have a better chance of getting a response.

ello,

first, the easiest!
Is the headphone jack vacant or occupied?

The headphone jack is vacant. The output plugs are out. I have tried to reintialize but to the same result. No sound from the speakers, headphone jack or output jacks on the back. It was working fine in the evening then the next morning there was nothing. It lights up correctly. The LCD display is good.....Im stumped.....

Thanks Nigel!

Have you tried loading something from your floppy disk and seeing if you hear a song?

Yes....still no sound...:(

Hello,

the local control for a part performed on the keyboard is set to OFF or ON?

Im sorry, Im not sure what you are referring to or how that would affect the sound output seeing as the unit has been initialized numerous times..

I don't think that is the problem, because loading a MIDI file should still play regardless of the local setting.

Maybe time to get a new board I think before I go into withdrawal...lol

Hello,

if the Program Menus - Midi - Part Setting "Local" is set to OFF, no sound will be heard!
It does not matter whether Midi File or style.

Thank you... I will check that out and let you know..!

All part settings are on..

Hello,

try again if the keyboard test indicating a result.
Turn off Keyboard - press and hold the specified key combination and turn the key.

PANEL CPU CHECK

Please check the CPU port LED flash

Hi

Alwas sad when something wrong happens with our keyboards.
Long time since I had a KN2k, but it's a great keyboard.

Some steps to try out:

1. If you use a swell/volume pedal, unplug it.
2. Check that volume for each part are above zero when look in display.
3. Try only the headphones plugged in, and push and drag the jack in and out a bit to see if there is a bad connect.

If nothing happens, sound still dead, it's probably the final transistor for outgoing sound that is defect.
If so, next step will be to visit a serviceshop.

KN2000 is probably less money as second hand at eBay than a repair will cost?

Hopefully your problems is sorted out very soon.

Thank you very much for suggestions and response. Having not being able to play for the last couple of weeks has forced me into withdrawal so I broke down and bought a Yamaha PSR s750 workstation. I will still actively purse trying to get my KN2000 repaired as it is a great keyboard. I have located a repair technician here in Toronto and I am awaiting his call. I will let you know what the outcome will be ! Thanks again for your response and support!

Hi Everyone. Just to follow up, I have purchased a new Yamaha PSR s750 arranger work station. Here is info on a keyboard repair shop that will service Technics. Regards and many thx to all for your assistance!
