Making Power Connections
Connect the AC plug on the supplied AC power cable to a grounded AC outlet, and the
adaptor’s DC plug to the VS-2000’s DC IN jack—use only the supplied AC adaptor.
Connect all other devices’ power cables as recommended in their documentation.
Powering Up
It’s important that you power up the VS-2000 and any equipment to which it’s attached
in the following order to prevent damage to your equipment and to make sure the
VS-2000 recognizes everything you’ve connected to it.
1. Turn on everything connected to the VS-2000 except your monitors or monitoring
system. This includes devices connected to the VS-2000 via analog connections or
digitally and your VGA monitor.
2. Turn on the VS-2000 by pressing its rear-panel POWER switch to the On position.
When the Home display—shown here—appears, the VS-2000 power-up sequence is
complete.
This takes a few moments, as explained in the next section.
3. Turn on your monitor speakers or monitoring system.
What Happens During the VS-2000’s Power-Up
When you turn the VS-2000 on, it performs a few important tasks that help ensure its
successful operation. It:
• performs some diagnostic routines to make sure everything’s working properly.
• sets up the available effects.
• re-loads the project that was loaded at power-down. (When you turn on the
VS-2000 for the first time, this is the “U Wanna Play Me” demo or “with Me” demo.)
As a project loads, the faders move to their last-saved positions and the project’s
settings are restored.
Once the connections have been completed (Page 66), turn on power to your various
devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk
causing a malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval after power up is
required before the unit will operate normally.
If you turn on the power immediately after turning the power off, the system may not
boot up correctly. When you turn the power on, you should wait for 30 seconds or so
after turning the power off.
In the following steps, allow each piece of equipment to finish its power-up sequence
before proceeding to the next step.
