Kawai Q-80 Sequencer not recording

Got a Kawai Q-80 off eBay. It boots and the display looks fine, however, the first three songs are completely empty. I try to do live recording, select the track and it flashes, set the track channel to 1, MONITOR shows MIDI-in on channel 1, hit REC and it lights, but hitting PLAY to start the count-in to recording gets no response. I then tried factory reset but it was the same. Why won't record run? Everything else about the machine is normal.
