To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume,
and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.
Playing the Pads
When connections are complete, you can play the SPD-20.
Turning the Power On
The POWER switch is on the rear panel.
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the order speci-
fied. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speak-
ers and other devices.
Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with the
volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is
normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
1Check that all connections with other devices are correct, and that everything is off.
