When the unit starts up it defaults to the multitrack

recorder mode regardless of the mode used last

before shutting down. (See “Recorder modes” on

page 44.)

WARNING

When switching the unit on and off, we suggest

that you turn down the volume of any speakers or

amplifiers connected to the unit. Also, do not wear

headphones connected to the unit when switching

power on or off. This will avoid damage to speakers

and possible harm to your hearing.

Shutting down

Make the following preparations before shutting

down the unit.

Stop the recorder. (The unit cannot be shut down

during recording, playback, fast forward, etc.)
Return to the Home Screen.

If the unit is connected to computer, disconnect the

USB cable after conducting the necessary proce-

dures on the computer to unmount the unit.

After making these preparations, press and hold the

POWER

key until the following screen appears (or the

key indicator light begins to blink).

The power turns off after the unit completes

its shutdown process, including saving various

information from your session.

NOTE

You can shut down the unit regardless of the recorder

mode, but when the unit starts up it always starts up in

the

MULTI TRACK

recorder mode. (See “Recorder modes”

on page 44.)

CAUTION

Do not remove the batteries or disconnect the

power cable accidently while the unit is operating.

If you do so, the unit cannot shut down properly

and all unsaved data will be lost. Lost data cannot

be restored. We recommend that you also save the

data manually often.
When the power is turned off, the operation

history of the currently loaded song will be erased

(cleared). You will not be able to undo or redo

operations on the song when you turn the power

back on.
