Troubleshooting

Cannot digitally record

Have you made settings to allow digital recording from
your CD player?
At the factory settings, the CDX-1 cannot record the
output of a digital audio device via the OPTICAL IN or
COAXIAL IN connectors. You must change the settings as
described in “In order to make a Digital recording with CD
player” (p. 148).
Dose the sampling rate of the CDX-1 match that of the
digital audio device.
Set the digital audio device to a sampling rate of 44.1kHz.
Dose the digital signal format match.
YOur digital audio device may use a non-standard digital
signal format. Connect the CDX-1 to a digital audio device
that supports S/P DIF.
Problems with the CD-RW disc drive

The disc tray dose not open

Is the power turned on?
If the power is not turned on, pressing the EJECT button
will not open the disc tray.
In cases when pressing the EJECT button does not open
the disc tray (such as during a power failure), remove the
disc as described in “If the disc tray does not open”
(p. 36).
Synchronization problems
When using MTC to synchronize the CDX-1 with a MIDI
sequencer, the CDX-1 must be the master device.
Is the MIDI cable connected correctly?
is the MIDI cable broken?
If you are synchronizing with MTC, has the other
device been set to the same MTC type? (p. 154)
Is the “Out/Thru” setting (p. 152) correct?
Has the MIDI sequencer been set correctly?
Is the MIDI sequencer ready to play back?
Dose the other device support the MMC commands of
the CDX-1?
Other problems

The foot switch is connected, but it is

not working as intended

Have you made the appropriate system “Foot SW”
setting?
Set the “Foot SW” parameter in the System Settings screen.
(p. 75, 122)
Did you connect or disconnect the foot switch while the
power was turned on?
Turn the power off before connecting or disconnecting the
foot switch.

Can't make Pre-Trigger settings

Is the “Start with” (p. 62) setting appropriate?
In order to set Pre-Trigger, the “Start with“ setting must be
“Lev.1“–“Lev.8.“

DIMM checking does not end

DIMM checking takes approximately ten minutes to be
completed. You can abort DIMM checking by pressing
[NO/EXIT].

Display screen is difficult to read

Adjust the contrast as described in “Adjusting the
brightness of the screen display” (p. 38).

The two input sources are mixed and

recorded when you record in stereo

using SIMUL.

When recording in stereo using SIMUL, set the input pan
to “L100” (the far left) before you record.
“Setting the left/right position (pan) of the input
sound“ (p. 113)

Pad/Sequence was not saved to disc

Did you save the pad/sequence to disc before turning off
the power?
