MIDI Controller
PianoDisc The PianoDisc controller is not needed to play the piano from PNO3WB processor.
The PianoDisc controller IS needed to calibrate the keys and pedal solenoid.
IF the PianoDisc controller is removed, do not discard, it can be reconnected to calibrate the system.
Locate the PianoDisc’s CPU Interface on the back side of the key solenoid rail.
Connect the MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the PNO3WB processor to the MIDI IN of the PianoDisc.
Disklavier Connect the MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the PNO3WB processor to the MIDI IN of the Disklavier.
On the back of the Disklavier controller set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI”.
Some units may not have the HOST SELECT switch and you may have to make a change in the controller’s setup menu.
Record system, connects to the MIDI IN, if installed.
Power Adapter The PNO3WB processor will begin to power ON as soon as it is connected to power.

Loosen lock‐nut & turn the bolt to move the bolt‐head away
from the straight lever. We don’t want any pressure on the
straight lever while making the next few adjustments
2
Check for this small wood block, with felt pad, as shown.
This block stops the lever and prevents the thread‐rod from

into the straight lever.
4
If necessary, loosen the bolt and center the top of the “Z”

pedal rod. Verify that the assembled “U‐shaped” lever clears
5 Adjust the sustain pedal rod’s bolt so that the “U‐shaped”
lever is parallel to the keybed.
6
Turn the carriage bolt‐head so that it touches the straight
lever and pushes up on the damper tray. Adjust for 1/8” to
1/4” lost moon between the damper tray and the damper
7
Loosen the lock‐nut on the sustain pedal solenoid and adjust
the rubber‐pped bolt so that when the piston is pressed
down, as far as it can go, the dampers lijust enough to clear
all of the strings. Ideally, we want the piston to travel the
shortest distance possible and sll lithe dampers. The farther
the piston travels, the more noise it will make when released.
Tighten the lock‐nut.
