TROUBLESHOOTING

Incorrect operation can be mistaken for a malfunction. If you believe the unit is not operating correctly, consult the chart below. Sometimes incorrect operation may be due to a malfunction in another component. If the problem cannot be solved using the information in the chart, check the other components used with the unit. If the problem still persists, contact your nearest authorized Pioneer service center.

Symptom

Remedy

 

 

No effect is generated.

Turn the MIX dial clockwise (in “EFFECT” direction).

 

Turn the DEPTH dial clockwise (in “MAX” direction).

 

Turn the EFFECT OUT LEV dial clockwise (in “MAX” direc-

 

tion).

 

 

The effect is distorted.

Turn the INPUT LEVEL dial counterclockwise (in “MIN” di-

 

rection).

 

Turn the EFFECT OUT LEV dial counterclockwise (in “MIN”

 

direction).

 

Turn the DEPTH dial counterclockwise (in “MIN” direction).

 

 

Echo is output continuously.

Turn the DEPTH dial counterclockwise (in “MIN” direction).

 

 

BPM cannot be measured in the AUTO mode.

The measurement range is 70 to 180.

 

It may not be possible to measure some tunes.

 

Invoke the TAP mode and make a manual setting (see P. 20).

 

 

The MIDI sequencer is not synchronized.

Set the MIDI sequencer mode to slave mode.

 

A MIDI sequencer that does not support the MIDI timing clock
