Studio 400 Owner's Manual

SECTION 1 - SETTING UP

UNPACKING THE STUDIO 400

Your Studio 400 was carefully assembled and packaged at the factory. Before you proceed any further, make
sure the following items are included:
• (1) Owner's manual
• (1) DigiTech Studio 400 Studio Effects Processor
• (1) Power cord
• (4) Rack screws
• (1) DigiTech warranty card
Please save all packaging materials. They were designed to protect the unit from damage during shipping.
In the unlikely event that the unit requires service, use only the factory supplied carton to return the unit.
SUPPLYING POWER
The Studio 400, like any piece of computer hardware, is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes and surges.
Interference such as lightning or power "brownouts" can seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently
damage the circuitry inside the unit. Always be sure to connect your Studio 400 to well grounded AC out-
lets. You may wish to use a Spike/Surge Suppressor or AC LIne Conditioner to further protect your invest-
ment.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

The layout of the Studio 400's front panel is simple and straightforward. Figure 1-1 shows the various parts
of the Studio 400.
1c 1b 1a
1) DISPLAY - The Studio 400's large custom display is where you get most of the information you need to
move around the operating system. The display has several important sections that you need to under-
stand when you use the Studio 400. They are:
1a) Program Number Indicator - These three large digits in the upper left corner of the display indi-
cate which Program is currently selected.
1b) Factory / User Indicators - Directly below the Program number are the Factory and User Program
indicators. These indicators also include a CHANGED icon to tell you whether the Program has been
modified but not stored in memory. Factory Programs can be modified but must be stored in a User
Program location since Factory Programs cannot be overwritten.
1c) Page Indicators - The bottom left corner of the display is occupied by the Page indicators. They
display the number of Pages available and the Page which is currently selected. These icons only
appear in the FX Edit and Utilities modes.
