E2) The zenTera

®

is cabled up and connected properly, but no

sound is audible.

• One or more of the volume knobs or the master knob is/are

turned all the way down. Dial in higher settings.

• The internal speakers are not connected. Plug them in.
• The 

zenTera

®

is in TUNER mode, which means that it is muted.

Quit TUNER mode by tapping the 

r

TUNER

button.

• A shorted external speaker cable caused one of the internal

fuses to blow. Have a qualified technician change the fuse
(ensure the replacement fuse bears the proper rating).

• The volume pedal of the connected Z-Board is set to the

minimum position. Floor the pedal.

E3) The zenTera

®

will not respond to the Z-Board or footswitch.

• The connector of the Z-Board or footswitch is not plugged in

correctly or at all. Plug it into the 

zenTera

®

, ensuring that it is

seated firmly. 

E4) The sound is totally distorted when you activate a connected

effects device. 

• The input of the effect device is being overdriven. If it is

equipped with a level meter or other level indicator, check the
signal level and back off the signal processor's input sensitivity
(via a knob labeled "Input" or "Gain").

E5) The signal level drops considerably when you connect an

external effects device, 

• The effect device is sending the signal back at too low a level.

Turn up the signal processor's output level.

E6) A connected MIDI controller is not getting operating voltage

via the phantom power feed of the MIDI IN port:

• The MIDI cable is defective. Replace it with a new cable.
• The phantom power fuse tripped. Replace the blown fuse

making sure that the replacement has the same specs as the
original fuse.
