Installing the Wave Expansion Board

The XV-3080 can be further expanded with the installation of up to six optional wave expansion boards (up to two SRX Series boards and four SRJV80 Series boards). Wave data is stored in these wave expansion boards. Also stored are Patches and Rhythm Sets that use the Wave data from the wave expansion boards, allowing these to be called up directly for use.

Precautions When Installing Wave Expansion Boards

● To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.

❍ Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

❍ When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

❍ Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

● Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.

● To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

● When installing Wave Expansion Boards, remove only the specified screws.

● Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the XV-3080.

● Do not leave the bottom cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it after the Wave Expansion Boards have been installed.

● Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

● Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.

● Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t fit

properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

● When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work. Wave expansion boards (SR-JV80 Series and SRX Series; sold separately) are

installed after removing the cover at the top of the unit. Insert SRX Series boards in the EXP-E and -F slots, and SR-JV80 Series boards in the EXP-A through -D slots.

Installing the Wave Expansion Board (SRX/SRJV80 Series)

Getting Ready

Before installing the wave expansion board, turn off the power to the XV-3080 and to any device connected to the XV-3080.

Installation de la carte d'extension Wave

(French language for Canadian Safety Standard)

Les cartes d'exten-sion Wave contiennent des donnees Wave, aussi bien que des morceaux musicaux et des ensembles rythmiques utilisant ces donnees, auxquelles on peut directement acceder dans la zone temporaire et les faire jouer.

Precautions lors de l'installation de la carte d'extension Wave

● Pour éviter tout dommage des composants internes pouvant provenir de

l’électricité statique, veuillez suivre les conseils suivants quand vous installez la carte.

• Avant de toucher la carte, saisissez toujours un objet métallique (tuyau d’eau ou autre) pour être sûr que l’électricité statique se décharge.

• Quand vous saisissez la carte, prenez-la par les bords. Evitez de toucher les composants électroniques ou les connecteurs.

• Conservez le sac dans lequel la carte était emballée et remettez la carte dedans pour l’expédier ou l’entreposer.

● Utiliser un tournevis cruciforme correspondant à la taille de la vis (un

tournevis numéro 2). En cas d’utilisation d’un tournevis inapproprié, la tête de la vis pourrait être endommagée.

● Pour enlever les vis, tourner le tournevis dans le sens contraire des

aiguilles d’une montre. Pour resserrer, tourner dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre.

● Lors de l’insertion de la carte d’extension Wave, enlevez seulement les vis

indiquées dans les instructions.

● Veillez à ne pas laisser tomber de vis dans le châssis du XV-3080.

● Ne pas laisser le panneau de protection avant détaché. S’assurer de

l’avoir rattacher après avoir installé le disque dur.

● Ne touchez aucun des circuits imprimés ni les bornes de connexion.

● Veillez à ne pas vous couper les doitgs sur le bord de l’ouverture

d’installation.

● Ne jamais forcer quand vous installez une carte de circuits. Si la carte ne

rentre pas correctement, ressortez-la et ressayez.

● Quand la carte est installée, vérifiez si l’installation est correcte.

Pour installer une carte d'extension (vendue en option dans les séries SRJV80 et SRX), détacher la plaque du dessus. La carte de série SRX s'installe dans l'emplacement EXP-E,F et la carte de série SR-JV80, dans l'emplacement EXP-A–D.
