• Make sure that the SD-50’s AC adaptor is correctly connected

to an outlet and to the SD-50 (p. 20).

• Check to see if you have enough battery power remaining (p.

No sound

Check the following points.

• Are the connected amp and speaker powered up? Could the

volume be lowered?

• Could the [VOLUME] knob be turned down?

• Are the connections correct?

• Can you hear sound through headphones?

• If you can hear sound through headphones, it may be that
