Turning On The Power - Boss RC-505 Owner's Manual

Turning On the Power

Once everything is properly connected (p. 6), be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong
order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
When powering up Turn on the power to your amp last.
Turn off the power to your amp first.
When powering down
1.
Turn the [POWER] switch ON .
Caution when turning on the power
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will operate normally.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when
switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Caution when turning off the power
While the RC-505 is in the following states, you must never turn off the power. Doing so may cause all the saved data to be lost.
• While recording/overdub/playing back
• While undoing/redoing
• While switching between phrase memories
• While the following messages are displayed
"Now working.. " , "Now writing... " , "Now copying.. " , "Exchanging.. " , "Initializing... "
Secure the power cord
On the bottom of the RC-505 there is a slot (cord hook) for securing the power cord of the
AC adapter.
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out
accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the DC IN jack, anchor the power cord
using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
Caution when connecting
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.
* Before connecting or disconnecting any connection cables, be sure all the volume controls in your system are set to minimum.
* When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (AUX/INST jacks) may be low. If this
happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.
Caution when using a microphone
* Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:
• Changing the orientation of the microphone(s).
• Relocating microphone(s) at a greater distance from speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.
* If the speakers and microphone are close together, the sound played back from the speakers may be picked up by the microphone. If you record
or overdub in such a state, the speakers playback picked up by the microphone will also be recorded. You should separate the speakers and
microphone so that the playback from the speakers is not picked up by the microphone.
