Troubleshooting Problem No Sound. The desired pitch is not produced. The EZ-TP doesn't respond properly to notes I'm singing. Sound is produce even when I'm not singing into the mouthpiece. Noise or hum is produced. Distorted sound. Data cannot be loaded from a computer using the Song Filer application. Possible Cause & Solution • Are the batteries depleted? (Page 6) • Is the overall volume turned up to an appropriate level? (Page 11) • Is a pair of headphones or cable plugged into the PHONES/ OUTPUT jack? (Page 7) • Is the Local Control parameter set to "off" or "EZC"? This parameter should be turned "on." (Page 31) • Have you set the instrument's voice octave setting to match your voice? (Page 14) • Make sure that the mouthpiece is in proper contact with your lips, with no gaps or leakage. • Try singing using a variety of vowels or percussive sounds ("ta," for example). The EZ-TP responds to different sounds in different ways, and you may need experiment to find the ideal match. • Try adjusting the MIC VOL control (Page 15). • The instrument may be responding to other sound and noise. Try turning the microphone volume control down a bit. (Page 15) Is there a cell (mobile) phone operating near the EZ-TP? You may need to turn nearby cell (mobile) phones off, or move them farther away from the EZ-TP. Is the overall volume turned up too high? In some cases - particularly when playing downloaded songs - the sound may become distorted if the volume is turned up too high. Try lowering the volume a little. The AC adaptor may not be connected to the EZ-TP. Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected when loading data from a computer. EZ-TP Owner's Manual 33 31
