Additional information Troubleshooting ! Incorrect operation is often mistaken for trouble or malfunction. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Inspect the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified after checking the items below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
Problem Check Remedy Effect sound cannot be monitored even when the [CUE] button for [BEAT EFFECTS] is pressed. — The circuit generating the [ECHO], [UP ECHO], [SPIRAL], [REVERB], [ROLL], [SLIP ROLL] and [REV ROLL] echo sounds is positioned after the effect circuit, so the effect sound cannot be monitored. This is not a malfunction. Sound is distorted when an analog player is connected to this unit’s [PHONO] terminals.
