Test M ode 1 (Internal test).
After replacing the main board, please take the following procedures firstly.
1. Connect the audio cable as follows:
2. Set up the volume knob and switches as follows:
[MASTER VOLUME] : MAX
[TUBE GAIN] : MIN
[AUDIO IN LEVEL] : MAX
[MIC/LINE] : LINE
[EFFECT] : REVERB
[SYNTH OSCILLATOR] : AUDIO IN + COMB
3. Insert the SmartMedia, which is supplied by Korg.
Then, the step proceeds to the slider of the arppeggiator.
6-5. Ribbon check <#Ribbon>
Touch the Ribbon controller. Then <Ribbon ***> is displayed.
Drag upward on the Ribbon. If <Ribbon 127H> is displayed, OK.
Drag downward on the Ribbon. If <Ribbon 001LH> is displayed, OK.
Press [16].
6-6. LCD Dot check <#LCD>
All the LCD dots light up. If no problem, press [16].
All the LCD dots turn off. If no problem, press [16].
Light up the LCD dots half by half alternatively.
Turn off the STANDBY (POWER) switch.
Test M ode 2 (System Data Loading).
After replacing the main board, please take the following procedures secondly.
1. Turn the power ON while pressing ERASE and PARTEDIT. All system and
preload data are loaded into the product.
2. Connect the stereo plug of the cable to PHONES and the monaural plug to
AUDIO IN.
2. Insert the SmartMedia, which is supplied by Korg.
3. Turn the power on while pressing [ERASE] + [PART EDIT].

NOTE: If the step stops any of the above indications in the display, press
[SHIFT]+[15].
If the system data is loaded correctly, "Valv Wup ***sec"(000-160sec) is
indicated in the display.
If any other message is displayed such as "@@@@@ x:$$$", it might be an
error.
Wait until the tube test counter is displayed as "000sec" (approx 160 seconds
later). Then, please proceed to the Tube calibration test.
EMX-1/ESX-1 Tube Calibration
Connect the stereo plug of the cable (see fig.) to PHONES and the monaural plug to
›ῐ
INPUT.
2. While pressing ERACE and STEP EDIT, turn the power on. “Valv Wup” is
indicated as stand-by for pre-heating, and also the waiting time is indicated.
Set up the volume knob and switches as follows:
MASTER VOLUME : MAX
TUBE GAIN : MIN
AUDIO IN LEVEL : MAX
MIC/LINE : MIC
3. “Ajst (L)” and a 4 digits figure are indicated in the LCD. If the value is leas than
0010, the test is O.K.. Press the 16 knob at the right bottom. If the value is over it, it is
required to adjust the valve. Adjust the vari able resis tors which correspond to the
channels referring to the photo below.
4. As well as
Ajst(L)”, “Ajst (R)” and a 4 digits figure are indicated in the LCD.
ῧ
If the value is leas than 0010, the test is O.K.. Press the 16 knob at the right bottom. If
the value is over it, it is required to adjust the valve. Adjust the variable resistors
which correspond to the channels referring to the photo above.
5. Once the balance of L/R is automatically adjusted, “ValvGMax GainMx” is
indicated in the LCD. Turn the TUBE GAIN knob to MAX, and press the 16 knob.
6. Check the L/R balance of TUBE GAIN MAX, and return to the normal mode.
