Turning On the Power

941
Once the connections have been completed (p. 17), turn on power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in
the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to
speakers and other devices.
942
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a
few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate
normally.
943
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before
switching on power. Even with the volume all the way down, you
may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but this is
normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
* Turning on devices in the wrong sequence may result in
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
1.
Switch on the POWER switch on the VB-99's
top panel.
The display changes as described below, and after several
seconds the VB-99 is ready for normal performance.
This screen is called the "Play screen."
fig.01-060d
Unless special note is made otherwise, the operations
described in this manual are carried out with the Play screen
displayed.
* When the power to the VB-99 is turned on, the patch selected at the
time the power was last turned off is called up.
985
* The explanations in this manual include illustrations that depict
what should typically be shown by the display. Note, however, that
your unit may incorporate a newer, enhanced version of the system
(e.g., includes newer sounds), so what you actually see in the display
may not always match what appears in the manual.
2.
Turn on the power to the bass amp or mixer.
* Raise amp volume levels only after turning on the power to all the
devices.
