■ Problems with the Sound (continued)
Problem
The input source (audio
source) is not output
Insufficient volume from a
device connected to the
MIC 1/MIC 2/GUITAR/LINE
IN jacks
The sound recorded via
the internal mics is not
loud enough
The recorded sound is
noisy or distorted
An unwanted effect is
applied to the sound
Sound is briefly heard
from the internal speakers
even though they are
muted
●
Could devices be connected to both the MIC 1 jack and GUITAR jack?
➔
If you connect devices to both the MIC 1 jack and the GUITAR jack, the sound
from the MIC 1 jack will not be input. If you want to input sound from the MIC 1
jack, remove the plug from the GUITAR jack.
●
Could the setting of the [MIC SELECT] button be incorrect?
➔
Use the setting that's appropriate for the input source.
●
Could the line input be turned off?
➔
Turn the LINE IN "On."
●
Could you be using a connection cable that contains an internal resistor?
➔
Use a connection cable that does not contain an internal resistor (such as one from
the Roland PCS-series).
●
Did you adjust the input level of the internal mics?
➔
Use Int MIC Gain to raise the input level of the internal mics.
●
Is the input level adjusted appropriately?
➔
Adjust the input level so that the level meter briefly reaches "-3 dB" when loud
sounds are input.
●
Could you have raised the input level for sources that are not connected?
➔
Even if no equipment is connected, we recommend that you set the input level to
the minimum (MIN) for all inputs that you are not recording.
●
Could the [MIC SELECT] button be lit orange?
➔
Even if you are intending to record via external mics, a noisy recording may
indicate that you are actually recording from the internal mics. Set the [MIC
SELECT] button to the correct position for the audio source you intend to record.
●
When recording the sound from an instrument connected to the LINE IN jacks,
could you be unintentionally recording the sound from another CD-2 source as
well?
➔
When recording only the sound from the LINE IN jacks, make sure that [MIC
SELECT] is off (unlit).
●
Could you be applying a mastering effect while creating a music CD?
➔
Some mastering effect patches may cause noise or distortion when used with
certain types of material. Try changing to a different mastering effect patch.
●
Is the output level set correctly?
➔
If you raise the output level too high, noise or distortion may occur in the sound
from the internal speakers. Use the [OUTPUT LEVEL] knob to adjust the volume.
●
Could you have selected an effect?
➔
Turn the effect "Off."
●
Could a mastering effect be selected?
➔
Turn the mastering effect "Off."
●
Were you connecting or disconnecting headphones?
➔
If the speakers are muted (the [SPEAKER MUTE] button is lit), noise may be heard
from the internal speakers when you connect or disconnect the headphones; this
is not a malfunction.
