Troubleshooting
If there are problems during operation of the MRS-802,
check the following points first.
Problems during playback
■ 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 in the mixer section are lit
in green and that the faders are raised. If a key is out, press
the it to make it light up in green.
• 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. 76).
• The recorder will not operate when the [DRUM] key is lit.
Press the [EXIT] key so that the [DRUM] key goes out.
■ 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. 73), 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.
■ No sound from input signal, or sound is
very weak
• Make sure that the [INPUT 1]/[INPUT 2] key is lit.
• Make sure that the respective [INPUT] control is raised.
• Make sure that the [REC LEVEL] control is raised. If it is
raised, temporarily turn it down and then up again.
■ The indication "STOP RECORDER" is
shown on the display, and operation is
not possible.
The current operation is not possible while the recorder is
operating. Press the STOP [ P] key to stop the recorder.
Problems during recording
■ Cannot 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. 125).
• Recording is not possible if the project is write-protected.
Either turn protect off (
→ p. 127), or use a different
project.
■ The signal from an instrument or
microphone connected to the INPUT 1
jack is not input
• When something is connected to both the INPUT 1 jack
and the GUITAR/BASS jack, the GUITAR/BASS jack
has priority.
■ The recorded sound is distorted
• Check whether the input sensitivity setting ([INPUT
control) and recording level setting ([REC LEVEL]
control) are 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.
Problems with effects
■ Insert effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [BYPASS/TUNER] key is out.
• Make sure that the insert effect is sent to the desired
location (
→ p.101).
■ Send/return effect does not apply
• Make sure that the [CHORUS/DELAY] or [REVERB]
key is lit. If it is out, press the key several times to make it
light.
