If the SU10 does not seem to operate properly and the information in this chapter does not help, please consult your Yamaha dealer or one of the Yamaha distributors listed at the back of this manual for assistance. Problem PLAY Cannot play demos No sound Possible Cause • You may have erased them. Unless you have stored them to an external device via MIDI dump, they are gone forever. But it is easy enough to create your own samples and songs. • Check the LINE OUT connection. Is the SU10 correctly connected to external powered speakers or amp? Are the external speakers/amp switched on? • Check the volume settings. (a) Check sample's internally set volume (EDIT mode; see page 44). (b) Check the digital volume. Try pressing [+1] to increase the level. (c) Try adjusting the volume slider. (d) Check the volume setting on your speakers or amp. • Are batteries or adaptor correctly connected? You must use six AA batteries, or a PA-3B or PA-1B adaptor. • Are batteries fresh? Try again with new batteries (alkaline batteries recommended), or check operation using a power adaptor. • Check the Local setting in the MIDI utility. Pads do not operate if this setting is Off. (→ page 57) • Are you sure the selected pad contains sample data? • Check the sample's loop mode, and the start-point, loop-point, and end-point settings. • Are you sure the bank selection is correct? Try playing from a different bank. • If using FILTER or EXTERNAL FILTER: Try changing the cutoff frequency. Certain cutoff frequencies may cause all sound to go off. • If using CROSSFADER or EXTERNAL mode: Check that the Input recording parameter matches the actual input source.
