User manual PIONEER S-J120

[. . . ] Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. [. . . ] To turn the effect on, press the BYPASS button once to turn off the LED. The AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT, AD100VT & S-J120 remember the bypass setting even if you switch modes or programs, or turn off the power. MANUAL MODE When the AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT, AD100VT or S-J120 is in Manual mode, it works just like a non-programmable guitar amp. In other words, the positions of all top panel selectors and knobs (except for the EDIT 1 knob) indicate exactly what you're hearing. GETTING TO MANUAL MODE If the MANUAL LED is dark, you're not in Manual mode. Press the MANUAL button; the MANUAL LED will light, and you'll be in Manual mode. NOTE: If the CH1 or CH2 LED is blinking (i. e. , when you're in the middle of selecting a writing-destination for the program), the MANUAL LED won't light when you press the MANUAL button the first time. In this case, simply press the MANUAL button once again. NOTE: In Manual mode when you edit parameters that aren't defined by a knob setting (i. e. , effect parameters or noise reduction settings), those settings are saved automatically, and will be recalled the next time you enter Manual mode. However if the EFFECTS selector is at a different position than it was when you were last in Manual mode, the default settings for that effect type will be loaded. HINT: If you want to bypass the effect, press the BYPASS button. If the BYPASS LED is lit, there is no effect. To turn the effect on, press the BYPASS button once to turn off the LED. The AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT, AD100VT & S-J120 remember the bypass setting even if you switch modes, programs, or turn off the power. Creating and storing your own program 11 Creating and storing your own program T here are two ways you can do this; by tweaking an existing preset program that's close to what you have in mind, or by starting from scratch. CREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAM Let's start from scratch. Press the CH button to select the channel in which you want to store your program. The program will be stored in the channel whose indicator is blinking. HINT: If, during this process, you decide that you really don't want to store the program, you can press the TAP button to cancel at this point. The LED will stop blinking, and you'll return to the mode in which you were. 3. Your program will be saved in the specified channel, and the LED of the destination channel will stop blinking and remain lit. NOTE: The program that was previously stored in that channel will be overwritten; in other words, the settings that used to be stored in the channel you selected in step 2 will be erased. NOTE: The effect bypass setting isn't stored as part of the program. NOTE: If you're creating your sound in Preset or Channel Select mode, your changes will disappear if you switch to a different program or to Manual mode before storing. CHECKING THE SETTINGS OF A PROGRAM (ORIGINAL VALUES) If you want to find out exactly what settings are saved in a preset or user program, you can use the Original Value function. When you're turning a knob to adjust the value of a parameter, and the value at that moment matches the value that is saved in the program (i. e. , the "original value"), the PRESET LED will blink if you're in Preset mode, or the channel LED will blink if you're in Channel Select mode. HINT: When you've found a program you like, and want to know just what settings it contains, simply use this Original Value function!NOTE: Since the top panel MASTER volume, the rear panel POWER LEVEL control, and PRESENCE control (S-J120) are not programmed, the original value display will not occur for these settings. Also, the Original Value function doesn't operate in manual mode. 14 RESTORING THE FACTORY SETTINGS Here's how you can restore the factory settings. NOTE: If you do this, the programs you saved in the channels will be completely erased, and will be reset to the factory settings. NOTE: Effect and noise reduction settings made in the Manual mode will also be erased. 1. While holding down both the CH and WRITE buttons, turn the power on. [. . . ] Do you have headphones or anything else plugged into the amp's rear panel LINE/PHONE jack?(For the AD50VT/AD100VT) Could a cable be connected to the rear panel [EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUT] jack?Disconnect this jack if you're not using an external speaker. If you don't hear sound from a connected external speaker, make sure that your speaker cable and external speaker are not broken or malfunctioning. [. . . ]
