Making Connections
!Please begin this guide by powering up the Pa800, so that the display pages come up in the proper order…
1.Connect the power cord to the Pa800. If you want to use an external speaker system, connect audio cables from the LEFT/MONO and RIGHT outputs to your sound system, or for private listening, connect headphones to the HEADPHONE jack on the front.
2.Turn the Pa800 on by pressing the POWER switch on the rear panel. The Pa800 will go through its startup routine, and you’ll be placed in Style Play mode.
Working with the TouchView User Interface
The intuitive Color TouchView user interface on the Pa800 allows for extremely fast and easy access to the Pa800’s features and parameters. You can even access a multilingual contextual Help System (simply press the HELP button to the right of the display)
Before we dive in, let’s get familiar with the TouchView display…
!Before you start playing, make sure that the BALANCE slider located beneath the display is in the center position, and the BALANCE fader beneath the left speaker is also in the center position!
!Please note the DISPLAY HOLD button to the right of the display. When lit, any selected page will stay displayed until the EXIT button is pressed. When the DISPLAY HOLD function is turned off, the display will return to the main page automatically, after several seconds.
