Q. [2nd UNIT] button does not work, even
though the 2nd UNIT is cascade-connected
properly.
A.
You cannot switch to the 2nd UNIT if the current
project is not created under cascade
configuration. Please store the project or create a
new project with the cascade-connected 2nd
UNIT.
Q. Effects cannot be inserted in the MULTI IN
channel.
A.
To use the effects of the optional VS8F-2 for
channel insert, you need to set them to be
inserted in MULTI IN or INPUT beforehand.
Please set them to MULTI IN as follows.
1. While holding [SHIFT], press [PROJECT].
2.
Press [SYSTEM CONFIG].
3.
Open "FX MISC" page by pressing [PAGE
UP]/[PAGE DOWN] buttons.
4.
Select "INPUT" or "MULTI IN" for each
effect board.
* You can also jump to this page with the
[JUMP] button in the "EFFECTS MENU"
page of [EFFECTS 1-8].
Q. "MAIN EQ" page of the analyzer does not
appear.
A.
To use "MAIN EQ" of the analyzer, you need to
install a VS8F-2 at least. And please insert the "31-
band Graphic EQ" to MAIN.
Q. PAN is not linked even if the CHANNEL
LINK is on.
A.
There is a dedicated PAN LIKN switch. In
"MAIN/CUE" page of CH EDIT, set the "PAN
LINK" on.
Q. In the virtual patchbay page, MULTI OUTs
seem to be connected even if the F-BUS is
set to INT mode. Are the signals output?
A.
If the F-BUS is set to INT mode, signals are not
output, though the connection seems to be done
in the patchbay page.
Q. I cannot monitor even if I select F-BUS at
SOURCE SELECT for MONITOR.
A.
If the F-BUS is set to INT mode, you cannot

monitor.
Q. If I connect TASCAM DA series (DA-38/88/
98) to the R-BUS via DIF-AT, can I set the
DA to sync slave?
A.
It is impossible because of the specifications of the
DA series. Set it as sync master.
Q. When I enter in the analyzer page, effect
sound changes.
A.
Analyzer consumes one of the internal effect
units. So currently used effect maybe swapped to
the analyzer when it gets active. You can set
which effect unit is used for the analyzer in the
SETUP page of analyzer.
Q. At "NAME&COMMENT" page of PROJECT,
even if I set PROTECT to ON, it is not
checked in the PROTECT box in "SELECT"
page of PROJECT.
A.
Changes for PROTECT and NAME are not
applied until you store the project. (Please refer to
the MEMO in p.52, Owner's manual.)
Q. "Wrong Card" message appears in the
display if I try to store the project.
A.
Please insert the memory card which contains the
current project.
Q. In the "DITHER" page, dither ON/OFF
does not work with F1–F6 buttons.
A.
Dither OFF and dithering bit are set with knobs,
not F1–F6 buttons.
Q. For automix, if I set INITIAL SCENE and
then start playing from the TIME CODE 0,
INITIAL SCENE is not recalled.
A.
INITIAL SCENE is recalled when [ZERO] button
is pressed. If you move the faders after that,
automix starts from that status, not from the
INITIAL SCENE. Please press [ZERO] button
again to recall the INITIAL SCENE.
Q. Phantom power ON/OFF buttons for
channels 21–24 do not work.
A.
These channels are originally assigned to digital
inputs and console inputs, so phantom power
cannot be supplied. But if you assign these
channels to the inputs 1-20 with virtual patchbay,
these buttons become active.
