OTHER (TROUBLESHOOTING) Symptom When a foot switch is connected, effects are applied even without pressing the foot switch. Effect sounds are distorted. Can't use EFX LINK function Can't use the BPM sync function. Echo sounds are output continuously BPM doesn't count tempo in AUTO mode. BPM count is strange. MIDI sequencer isn't synchronized. Probably cause ÷ Foot switch's logic is reversed (the effector applies effects when the foot switch is depressed for LOW level). ÷ Input level is too high. ÷ Effect output level is too high. ÷ Effect settings are too high (When the DEPTH dial is set near its [MAX] position, it may have the effect of raising the volume level.) ÷ The digital link cable is not connected. ÷ The connected component is not supported. ÷ The DJ mixer's settings are incorrect ÷ DJ mixer is not connected for EFX LINK. ÷ A DJ CD player with digital link support is not connected to the DJ mixer. ÷ The BPM measurement mode is not set to [AUTO]. ÷ During echo effect, if DEPTH dial is set to [MAX] and BEAT EFFECTS lever switch is moved from [ON] to [OFF], the feedback sound dies not attenuate, producing a hold delay effect. ÷ Input level is too high, or too low. ÷ Some tracks have tempos that prevent them from being measured automatically. (Automatic measurement range is 70-180 BPM). ÷ The MIDI sequencer's sync mode is not set to "slave". ÷ The connected MIDI sequencer is not supported. Remedy ÷ Use a foot switch with logic matching that of the effector. ÷ Rotate INPUT LEVEL dial toward left ([MIN] direction). ÷ Try setting IN&OUT LEVEL switch to the opposite position. ÷ Rotate EFFECT OUT LEV. dial toward left ([MIN] direction). ÷ Rotate DEPTH dial toward left ([MIN] direction). ÷ Connect the digital link cable to a DJ mixer (with digital link support) ÷ Set the DJ mixer for EFX LINK. ÷ Connect the DJ CD player and DJ mixer via digital link. ÷ Set the DJ effector's BPM mode to [AUTO]. ÷ Rotate DEPTH dial toward the left ([MIN] direction). ÷ Rotate INPUT LEVEL dial so that the input level meter shows around 0 dB. ÷ Set to manual mode and input (TAP) the tempo manually (P.18) ÷ Set MIDI sequencer's sync mode to "slave." ÷ A MIDI sequencer without MIDI timing clock cannot be synchronized. ÷ This component may fail to operate properly due effects from static electricity or other causes. In this event, try disconnecting the power cord and reconnecting it. If this doesn't solve the problem, consult your dealer or nearest Pioneer Service Station. 26
