User Support Bulletin

Introduction

The unit is carefully calibrated at the factory. The performance may change over time or due to environmental changes,

and the following recalibration procedures can be used to bring it back to its factory settings. If you do not feel comfortable

doing these calibrations, then we recommend they are done by an experienced audio service technician. This is especially true

for those units that need to be opened to gain access to voltage test points and calibration potentiometers.

CAUTION: Incorrect calibration or damage to the delicate adjustment potentiometers may lead to the unit

becoming inoperable.

Note: Although re-calibration will not invalidate the warranty, any damage caused during re-calibration may invalidate

the warranty.

Equipment required

1. Guitar tuner

2. Small insulated trimmer screwdriver

Listen carefully and adjust the front panel OSCILLATOR-2 Tune knob until there are zero beats

between OSC1 and OSC2.

Turn the front panel OSC2 Octave RANGE knob to the 8' position.

Keep holding the C6 key.

Listen carefully, and adjust the OSC RANGE trimpot on the back panel, for zero beats between

OSC1 (Range=2') and OSC2 (Range=8').

Repeat step 6 with dierent settings of the RANGE knob and repeat steps 7 and 8 until both oscillators are in tune with

each other at all settings of the Octave RANGE knob.

This completes the Octave Range Calibration.
