In a short time this will change to a display similar
to the following.
* This display will be whatever was displayed when the V50
was last turned off, so details may be slightly different.
Turn the amp (keyboard amp, etc.) power on. (The
amp power is turned on last to protect the speakers
from possible damage.)
Note:
When several MIDI devices are connected, turn
them on beginning with the transmitting device.
When turning the power off, reverse this order
~1.e, turn off the amp, and then turn off the V50.
Now we will produce some sound.

(3)
Raise the volume of the amp. (The manual for your
amp will give details.)
Gradually raise the volume slider to increase the
V50 volume.
Press a key.
Is the V50 sounding? If not, check the following.
(1) Is the power of the V50 and the amp turned
on?
(2) Are the V50 and the amp correctly connected?
(3) Are the volumes of V50 and amp raised?
Hf after checking these three items you still hear no
sound, try the steps given on the following page. If
you still hear no sound, see page 122.
Now let’s try out the various sounds of the V50.
