4) [PAN] + [LOC 3] System Recovery & HDD Test - Erases all data on HDD
(Requires System Recovery CD)
5) [PAN] + [LOC 2] System Recovery - Preserves non-system data on HDD

System Recovery CD
The D3200 stores important system information on it’s hard drive. The system recovery CD can
be used to restore this system data to the hard drive if it has become corrupted or if a new hard
drive has been installed.
A recovery CD can be created directly from a working D3200 by selecting “Save System” from
the D3200’s [SYSTEM / MIDI] menu. See page 91 of the owner’s manual for more information.
An file containing the recovery data is also available in the D3200 section of KORG USA’s
service website. The file is named D3200_Recover.zip and includes instructions for creating the
CD, as well as instructions on how to use the D3200’s recovery functions.
DEMOSONG.DBK (Demo Song Load)
The DEMOSONG.DBK file required for Start-Up Option 6 is very large, and therefore not
available for download. The HDD Format and System Update portions of this option can still be
performed without this file.
The demo song (and/or any customer data) can be backed up and reloaded via the D3200’s
normal backup function - located in the [SYSTEM / MIDI] menu. A CD that takes full
advantage of Start-Up Option 6 can be created by naming the backup “DEMOSONG.DBK” and
placing it on a CD along with the system recovery files.

Running the Full Diagnostic Tests
Requirements
You will need the following items in order to complete all the tests.
One mono ¼” patch cable.
One MIDI cable.
One optical digital audio cable (Toslink)
A momentary footswitch. (Such as the Korg PS100 or PS1 )
An expression pedal. (Such as the Korg EXP2)
An oscilloscope for monitoring the outputs.
A signal generator.
An audio test CD to test the CD drive’s ability to playback audio.
* Any audio CD will work, but a CD containing stable sine waves on the left and right channels would be
useful for seeing distortion and level problems. If no adequate test CD is available, you can create a basic
test CD by downloading the “1khz_sine.wav” file from Korg USA’s service web site and burning it to an
audio CD.
Setup
Setup the D3200 as follows.
Connect the ¼” mono patch cable between AUX Out 1 and Input 1.
Turn all the input trim potentiometers all the way down.
Connect a MIDI cable between MIDI In and MIDI Out.
Plug the Footswitch and Expression pedals into their respective jacks on the back panel.
Connect the oscilloscope probes to the main outputs.
Do not connect the digital cable at this time.
Operating the Test Mode
The following key presses are used to navigate through the diagnostic tests.
[PLAY()] Proceed to the next step in the test.
[REC()] Skip an error and proceed to the next step.
[FF()] Proceed to the next test.
[REW()] Return to the previous test.

Starting and operating the Full Test
These instructions will walk you through running the full test. The full test consists of a number
of Internal tests, followed by the External Tests listed in the next section.
1) Start the diagnostic test by holding down [FF()] + [PLAY()] while powering on the
D3200.
The D3200 will perform some internal tests and then stop at the S/PDIF test.
If the test stops with a tuner error, check the patch cable between Aux 1 and Input 1.
Also make sure the input trims are turned down. If the error continues, check the
associated circuitry.
2) As indicated on the screen, plug one end of the Toslink optical cable into the S/PDIF
optical input and the other end of the cable into the S/PDIF optical output.
TEST09: FS
STEP01: Please Connect S/PDIF Cable.(Out->In)
The unit will pause for a short time while it tests the optical connection. If there is an
error, please check the cables and associated circuitry.
3) When the S/PDIF test completes, the unit will move onto the USB test. This test will fail.
The USB test requires a special tool and cannot be tested in the field. If you need to test
the USB feature please do so outside of the test mode. You can do this by connecting
the D3200 to computer and using the “USB Mode” function located in the PC File tab
of the SYSTEM/MIDI menu.
TEST10: USB
STEP01: Wait a moment
TEST10: USB
STEP01: NG
4) Press [REC()] to skip the USB error. This will start the External Test mode.
Remove the audio cable connected between Aux Out 1 and Input 1.
Remove the cable connected between the MIDI input and output.
Leave the S/PDIF cable connected.
5) Continue on to the External Tests by following the instructions on the next page.

Running the External Diagnostic Test
The External Test can be performed as part of the Full Test, or can be initiated separately by
holding [REC] + [SCENE] while powering up.
TEST01: Drive List
STEP01: Drive List
HDD: 037GB
CD: o
Ver.1.0.1 + Boot1.05
1) Test the Inputs, Trim Pots, and Pad Switches.
Setup each input with the trim pot turned down to a minimum and the pad switch set to
off (not pressed in).
While monitoring the main outputs with an oscilloscope, check the guitar input with a
-10dB 1kHz sine wave. This input level should cause the clip LED to light but still give
an undistorted signal. (dB values are referenced to 0db = 0.775v)
Push the pad button in and turn the trim pot up to it’s full value. Make sure the signal
level on the scope changes smoothly as you turn the trim pot.
Bring the Trim pot back down to just below clipping. This should be around three
o’clock on the Trim pot.
Repeat the above test for each channel.
2) Press [PLAY()] - The output should mute.
TEST02: Mute
STEP01: Mute On
3) Press [PLAY()] - The output will come back on.
TEST02: Mute
STEP01: Mute Off

5) Test the Aux and Monitor Outputs.
Connect the scope to Aux Outputs and check that you have a clean signal at roughly the
same output level as the Master Outs.
Connect the scope to Monitor Outputs and check that you have a clean signal at roughly
the same output level as the Master and Aux Outs. Also check that the Monitor Mute
switch mutes the Monitor Output.
