Troubleshooting

Sound Is Distorted

.

Is an Effect Being Applied?

Use the following procedure to check.

1.

Either set the UA-100’s 

Effect Type selector

to 

BYPASS

, or open the mixer

window in the UA-100 Controller, and turn off all effects (Compact

Effects/Full Effects/System Effect) so that no effects are being applied. (For

details on using the mixer of the UA-100 Controller, refer to 

UA-100

Controller Help

.

2.

If audio is being input from the 

Line Input jacks

, use the UA-100’s 

Line Input

Volume

to decrease the input level.

If audio is being input from the 

Mic 1/Guitar Input jack

, use the UA-100’s 

Mic

1/Guitar Input volume

to decrease the input level.

3.

One at a time, turn on the effects that you turned off in step 1.

At this time, notice whether the 

Input Level Peak indicator

lights red. If it

lights red, return to step 2 and adjust the input level.

4.

If the sound is still distorted, use the Main fader, the MASTER fader or the

Windows 

Volume Control

to adjust the output level.

If you are using the VT mixer function of the UA-100 Controller, it will not

be possible to use the Mute function of the Windows 

Volume Control

.

If you are using effects such as Flanger or Phaser which have resonance or

feedback parameters, you will especially need to adjust the input level as

described here.

Is the Peak Level Indicator Lit Red?

If audio is being input from the 

Line Input jack

, use the UA-100’s 

Line Input vol-

ume

to reduce the input level.

If audio is being input from the 

Mic 1/Guitar Input jack

, use the UA-100’s 

Mic

1/Guitar Input volume

to reduce the input level.

Is the Volume Setting Appropriate?

Refer to “Setting the input/output levels” in “Useful Tips” of the 

Reference

Manual

on the included CD-ROM.

Are You Using a Game or Wave Data Playback Software?

If the sound is distorted when playing back Wave data from your computer (such

as when using a game or Wave data playback software), use the main fader in the

Mixer window of the UA-100 Controller, the MASTER fader, or the Windows

Volume Control

to adjust the output level.
