Thanks Guys for the quick response.

I guess it wasn't 'just my imagination' that I remember my PSR2000 working the way Joe Waters described, a while back. I guess the problem I've been experiencing has been going on for some time now as it's become such a routine habit for me to get to the gig and load up my custom registration memory bank first thing, that I hadn't given it a thought that it used to play without loading up a Reg Memory Bank first.

Actually what appears to be happening, on my 2000, is that (on initial startup), the Heartbeat style, as well as the Grand Piano patch is loaded (appears in the LCD screen), but that NO sound is heard. In fact, the ACMP starts up (the start button flashes) and style begins, just NO sound. I press the different OTS buttons and the Main/layer, and left selections change accordingly, but still NO sound. Once I load in a custom Registration Memory Bank though, everything works fine and the sound starts up, and changes correctly when the OTS buttons are changed or the style/sound selections are made manually. Everything continues to work correctly until I power down and then up again. Sounds like some kind of glitch on startup. I also reset the keyboard to factory default settings per George's instruction, as well as doing it via the Utility function window (system reset) , but this did not correct the problem either. Funny thing is that everything else about the keyboard seems to be working fine (no glitches). Funny thing is that I've kind of grown to like this glitchy problem, as having no sound at initial startup avoids having the Heartbeat style sounding inadvertantly (on stage) when setting up before the show. Still, I'm now wondering if I'd better send this back to Yamaha to avoid any other undesireable future problems which could relate to this. The other glitch (bug?!) on my PSR2000 which I've grown to like, is that the LEFT voice is stored with the style parameters, in Reg Memory Contents, rather than with the Main/Layer voices. This effectively allows you to freely switch the Reg Memory buttons (changing the Right/Layered parts) yet keeping the Left Part frozen. With the more recent ROM version, all voices are stored in the same place in Reg Memory Contents, so it's not possible to do this.

I'm sure these problems will require that I ship the KB back to Yamaha in Southern California and being without it for an extended period of time. Because I use the keyboard professionally on a daily basis, I'm now trying to figure out what to do. Does this mean I have to purchase another PSR2000 now? Now I wish I hadn't sold my Technics KN5000 so quickly. Any recommendations or suggestions?
