TC Electronic TC 2290 User Manual

10.0 Troubleshooting
What are you going to do if you do not succeed in getting sound from your TC 2290. Well you
could take it to your local TC dealer, but what if you could quickly check if there was something
wrong without dragging it away.
This little guide will help you check some of the ‘common human mistakes’.
No Light in the Front Panel Displays
The front panel power switch in on?
Power mains cable is connected allright?
Check out if the mains connection is working — e.g. by trying something else to the same outlet.
If still no light, check the rearpanel fuse and voltage setting (see section [6.1]).
No Sound through the TC 2290:
Try connecting your instrument cable directly to your amplifier to check the amplifier, the instru-
ment and the cable.
Connect then input to the TC 2290 (jack input in lower left corner).
Check that the input PPM meter flashes green, indicating input to the TC 2290. If no PPM ind-
ications try checking all external effects loops are turned off (EXT. EFFECTS section [5.12]).
Now recall a preset in which we know that the direct, delay and total output volumes have been
set higher than '0’ — e.g preset 80.
Check your output cable connection. E.g by trying another cable.
Direct Sound, but no Echo from the TC 2290
lf you are using the DIRECT output, you will get no echo/ delay effects but only the direct signal,
switch your output cable connection to the jack or XLR LEFT output.
If you are using ext. effects, try turning off those in the external effects section (to check if faults
in the external effects and their connections).
Now recall a preset in which we know that the delay and total output volumes have been set
higher than ’0’ — e.g. preset 80.
If you’re in one of your own presets:
Check <DELAY ON>
Check <SAMPLE> off.
Check delay output volume [5.3] is well above the ’0’ setting.
Check common output volume
If mono operation, check if signal is panned to the output you are using, or better: Turn off
all panning (in the PAN section none of the DIRECT/DELAY LEDs are lit).
