Zoom MRS-1044 - Manual (Page 96)

■
No sound, or sound is very weak
• Check the connections to your audio system, and the
volume of your audio system.
• Make sure that the status keys of each channel are lit
green. If a key is dark, press the key to make it light
green.
• Make sure that the fader of each channel and the
MASTER fader are raised. If they are already raised,
lower each fader and then raise it once again.
• If a scene with the volume lowered has been assigned to
a mark, the volume will automatically be lowered when
that mark is reached. Delete the scene that is assigned to
the mark ( → p.52).
• The recorder will not operate when the [RHYTHM] key
is lit. Press the [EXIT] key several times to make the
[RHYTHM] key go dark.
■
Operating the fader does not affect the
volume
• On channels for which stereo link is turned on, the fader
of the even-numbered channel will have no effect.
Either turn stereo link off ( → p.50), or operate the fader
of the odd-numbered channel.
■
The display indicates "Don't Play" and
playback is not possible
• The recorder will not operate in the current screen. Press
the [EXIT] key several times to switch to the main
screen.
■
The input signal cannot be heard, or is too
soft
• Make sure that the INPUT 1/2 [ON/OFF] keys are lit.
• Make sure that the [INPUT 1]/[INPUT 2] controls are
raised.
• Make sure that the [REC LEVEL] control is raised. If it
is already raised, lower it and then raise it again.
■
Can't record on a track
• Make sure that you have selected a recording track.
• Check whether you have run out of free space on the
hard disk ( → p.85).
• Recording is not possible if the project is write-
protected. Either turn protect off ( → p.85), or use a
different project.
■
The signal from the [INPUT 1/2] (BALANCE)
jack(s) is not input
• If plugs are inserted in the [INPUT 1] (GUITAR/BASS,
UNBALANCE) jacks or the [INPUT 2] (UNBALANCE)
jack, disconnect these plugs.
■
The recorded sound is distorted
• Check whether the input sensitivity setting ([INPUT
1/2] control) and recording level setting ([REC LEVEL]
control) were appropriate.
• Lower the fader so that the 0 (dB) dot of the level meter
does not light.
• If the EQ gain of the track mixer is set extremely high,
the sound may be audibly distorted even if the fader is
lowered. Set the EQ to an appropriate value.
■
Insert effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [BYPASS/TUNER] key is dark.
• Make sure that the insert effect is sent to the desired
location ( →p.76).
• Make sure that a MODULE key is lit. If all MODULE
keys are dark, either press one or more MODULE keys
to make them light, or select another patch.
■
Send/return effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [CHORUS/DELAY] or [REVERB]
key is lit. If it is dark, press the key several times to
make it light.
• For each channel of the mixer, make sure that the
REVERB SEND or CHORUS/DELAY SEND parameter
is turned on. If it is on, make sure that the send level is
raised ( → p.50).
