Troubleshooting

Power does not turn on, operation not
possible
■ Power does not turn on
• Is the AC adaptor connected to an AC outlet of the correct
voltage?
• Is the POWER switch turned ON?
• If the power still does not turn on, please contact your
Yamaha dealer.
■ LCD display is dim or dark
• Use the contrast knob located at the lower right of the
screen to adjust the contrast.
■ Can't use the [DATA/JOG] dial to control on-
screen parameters
• The [JOG ON] key may be on.
• Some parameters cannot be operated in certain states,
such as while the recorder is running.
No sound
■ No sound, or sound is too faint
• Are speakers or headphones connected correctly?
• Is your amp and other external devices turned on?
• Are you using connection cables with built-in resistors?
• Does the stereo output channel meter move?
• Is the stereo output channel fader raised? Is it turned on?
• The EQ gain may be set to an extremely low value.
• The dynamics processor may be set to an extreme thresh-
old or ratio.
• If you are connecting an electric guitar, is it connected to
the Hi-Z jack?
• Is the attenuator of the EQ screen or VIEW screen raised?
→ Check the level (meter movement) in the METER page of
the VIEW screen.
→ If you press the [SEL] key in the MONITOR screen INIT
page, that channel will be initialized to default values that
allow sound to be output.
→ If DIGITAL IN is set to other than DISABLE in the UTILITY
screen D.IN HDD page, and no signal is being input to the
DIGITAL INPUT jack, a message of "WRONG WORD
CLOCK" will appear, and sound will not be output.
