the INPUT R/MONO jack.

* The batteries included with the SL-20 are meant only to

confirm that the unit is functional at the factory.

* To reduce batteries consumption, be sure to disconnect

the plug connected to the INPUT R/MONO jack
whenever the unit is not in use.

Is the specified AC adaptor (PSA series;
optional) connected correctly?

Check the connections again (p. 7–p.9).
Never use any AC adaptor other than the
adaptor specified.

No sound/volume is low

Is the other equipment connected correctly?

Check the connections again (p. 7–p.9).

Is the volume turned down on the connected
guitar, keyboard, effects processor, or other
device?

Check the settings on the connected equipment
(p. 7–p.9).

Could the ATTACK knob or DUTY knob be
turned down?

Use the ATTACK knob or DUTY knob to adjust
the level.

the raised position?

When the expression pedal's function is set to

Sound is distorted

Are the EFFECT LEVEL knob, DIRECT LEVEL
knob, and ATTACK knob positioned correctly?

Sounds may become distorted when the knobs are
at certain settings. Turn down the EFFECT LEVEL
knob, DIRECT LEVEL knob, and ATTACK knob to
an appropriate level. If in spite of these measures
the sound is still distorted, lower the output level of
the device connected to the INPUT jacks.

The volume level of the
instrument connected to the
INPUT jacks is too low

Could you be using a connection cable that
contains a resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Recorded slice sounds cannot be saved in the
SL-20’s internal memory.

You cannot overdub during recording.

Sounds input in stereo are output
in mono

In order to apply effects suitable for the pattern,
some slice patterns mix the input, then output
this in mono.
