Troubleshooting

Song data does not playback correctly

Are you playing back from the middle of the song?

•The beginning of a GM score song contains a GM System On message. In some cases, a GM Score cannot be played back correctly unless this message is received.

Are you playing back GS format song data?

•Since the XV-5080 is a GM system compatible sound source, there may be cases in which GS format song data will not playback correctly.

The SCSI device is not being recognized.

Could you have turned on the devices in the wrong order?

•Read “Turning On the Power” in Quick Start (P. 12), then turn on the power to the devices in the correct order.
