Troubleshooting If you think there’s a problem, read this first. Symptom Cause/Action Page Power will not turn on Is the power cord correctly connected to the VR-700 and to an AC outlet? p. 18 Buttons don’t work Could Panel Lock be enabled? Hold down the HARMONIC BAR [LOWER] button and press the PLAYER [RHYTHM] button to release Panel Lock. Could the VR-700 be in Demo mode? Press the [DISPLAY/EXIT] button to exit Demo mode. p. 25 p. 23 Is your playback equipment (amp and speaker) powered up? p. 19 Could the volume of your playback system (amp and speaker) have been lowered? Check the volume of your playback system. p. 19 Are your amp, speakers, or headphones connected correctly? p. 21 No sound/Insufficient volume Organ sound is not heard Could the VR-700’s volume be lowered? Check the setting of the [MASTER VOLUME] knob and the [ENSEMBLE VOLUME] bar. Could the expression pedal have been used to adjust the volume? While being careful about the volume depress, step on the pedal. Could the Local Control setting be off? Turn the Local Control setting on again, or turn the VR-700’s power off, then on again. Could all of the harmonic bars be pushed in? Pull the harmonic bars toward yourself. Could the wheel brake key be applied? Use the foot switch or D Beam to release the wheel brake. p. 14 p. 23 p. 45 p. 57 p. 38 p. 43 Ensemble sound is inaudible or not loud enough Pull out the [ENSEMBLE VOLUME] lever to increase the volume of the ensemble sound. p. 14 Could the volume have been adjusted by the expression pedal? If the Ensemble Expression Switch is on, the volume of the ensemble sound will be controlled by the expression pedal. While being careful about the volume, depress the expression pedal. p. 54 Noise is heard when you press or release a key Pitch is incorrect Harmonic bar 1’ is not heard MIDI messages are not transmitted/received correctly Pedal doesn’t work, or is stuck Can’t read/write USB memory This is not a malfunction. The VR-700 reproduces the noise that is heard when a key of a tonewheel organ is turned on/ off. You can eliminate this noise by setting the Function mode Key On Click Level and Key Off Click Level settings to 0. Could the tuning be incorrect? The pitch of the organ sounds can be adjusted by the Function mode setting “Organ Fine Tune” (p. 52), and the pitch of the ensemble sounds can be adjusted by the “Ensemble Fine Tune” setting (p. 53) The overall pitch is adjusted by “Master Tune” (p. 59). Check these settings. Could the VR-700 be transposed? Either disable the transpose setting, or re-specify it. Could the wheel brake have been left on? Operate the foot switch or D Beam, to release the wheel brake. Could percussion be on? If percussion is on, the 1’ harmonic bar will not sound. Is each part’s MIDI channel set correctly? In the Function mode MIDI group of settings, specify the correct MIDI transmit/receive channel for each part. Is the pedal connected correctly? Check the pedal connections. Is the pedal polarity set correctly? Set the Function mode parameters “Damper Pedal Polarity” and “Control Pedal Polarity” appropriately for the polarity of the pedal you are using. If you connect a pedal while the power is on, the pedal effect may be “stuck.” Make sure that you connect pedals after you’ve switched off the VR-700’s power. Have you assigned a function to the pedal? A variety of functions can be assigned to the pedal connected to the CONTROL PEDAL connector. Check the Function mode setting “Control Pedal Assign.” Are you using USB memory (sold separately) made by <strong>Roland</strong>? We cannot guarantee operation if other USB memory is used. If you’re unable to read or write USB memory, try changing the Function mode setting “USB Memory Mode.” p. 45 – p. 59 p. 43 p. 41 p. 57 p. 20 p. 54 – p. 54 – p. 59 77
