Dear Jarmo:
Thank you so much for the input. That is what was wrong. When I would go to play the demo I would let up on the expression pedal and try to control the volume with the slider.
I even went to my dealer and he was going to make a service call appointment.
Thank goodness for this forum and people like you who answer these perplexing problems. Do you think this "bug: will be corrected by Technics. Thanks again for your help and a solve to my problem.
Sincerely, Lloyd
