Turning the Power On/Off

Once everything is properly connected, be sure to follow the
procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment
in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment
failure.
1.
Make sure that the JC-40's [VOLUME] knob and the
volume of the devices connected to the JC-40 are set to 0.
* Before connecting your instrument to the JC-40's INPUT jacks,
set the [VOLUME] knob to the minimum setting (far left).
2.
Turn on the JC-40.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to
turn the volume down. Even with the volume
turned down, you might hear some sound when
switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit.
A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the
unit on is required before it will operate normally.
3.
Turn on the power of the connected devices.
4.
Adjust the volume levels for the devices.
Before switching off the power, lower the volume on each of the
devices in your system and then TURN OFF the devices in the
reverse order to which they were switched on.
* If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the
unit, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Refer
to "To completely turn off power to the unit, pull out the plug
from the outlet" (p. 2).
