Depanaj
If you encounter issues with your BTR2000, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Aparèy pa limen. | No power supply; faulty power cable; unit malfunction. | Check power cable connection. Ensure power outlet is active. Try a different power cable if available. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Tuner does not detect notes accurately. | Incorrect input selected; instrument signal too low; specific instrument frequency range (e.g., very low bass notes). | Ensure the correct input (front, rear, or MIC) is selected. Check instrument cable connections. For acoustic instruments, ensure sufficient volume for the built-in microphone. Some very low frequencies may be challenging for any tuner; try tuning an octave higher if possible. |
| Metronome sound is too low or absent. | Volume setting too low; incorrect output connection; external monitoring issue. | Ensure the metronome volume is set appropriately. Verify that the SOUND output is connected to an amplifier or monitoring system and that its volume is up. |
| Output signal is muted unexpectedly. | Mute function activated; faulty footswitch. | Press the MUTE/LIGHT button to deactivate mute. If using a footswitch, disconnect it to see if the issue resolves, indicating a potential footswitch problem. |
