The system le is missing. This unit requires a system le for operation. When this message appears, press the MULTI JOG dial to create a system le.

Something might be wrong with the SD card. Change the SD card.

On the AUTO PUNCH Screen, the time between the punch in and out points is too short. Set them with at least 1 second between them.

On the VAMP Editing Screen, the time between the VAMP in and out points is too short. Set them with at least 2 second between them.

The SD card is not formatted properly or the card is broken. Change the SD card or press the MULTI JOG dial while this message is being shown to format the card. Formatting will erase all the data on the SD card.

A SD card is not set. Insert a recordable SD card.

The le format is not supported. Please see “Playing WAV les on SD cards (SD PLAY mode)” on page 62 for le formats that this unit can use.

The sampling rate of the current song and the USB audio interface are not the same. Change the sampling rate of one so that they are the same.

The punch in/out point settings on the AUTO PUNCH Screen are not set correctly. Automatic punching in/out occurred at an invalid position for the punch in or out point. Start the automatic punch operation from a valid point. The VAMP in/out point settings on the VAMP Editing Screen are not set correctly. Change the position of the VAMP in or out point.

Writing to the SD card timed out. This has caused audio to be interrupted and noise to occur.

Writing to the SD card timed out, and recording stopped. SD card writing performance has become worse. Execute the erase format function or change the SD card.

Neither the punch in or out points are set for the automatic punch in/out function. Either the punch in or out point must be set.

The sampling frequency of the WAV le to be imported does not match the current song. Select a WAV le with the same sampling frequency as the current song or convert the sampling

frequency before importing. The SD card does not have enough open space, so importing is not possible.

Erase unnecessary les or transfer them to a computer. The maximum number of tracks for punch in recording is eight.

Press REC buttons to reduce the number of recording tracks to eight or less. No song is loaded.

Create a new song or load a song. The maximum number of songs that can be created on an SD card is 100.

Erase unnecessary songs. SD PLAY mode is for playback only.

Recording is not possible. Recording is not possible because the SD card cluster size is not right.

Back up the contents of the SD card on a computer and then format it with this unit. Then, restore the data from the computer.

Importing is not possible because there are no open tracks. Use TRACK CLEAR to clear a track. (see “Clearing tracks” on page 46)

15 - Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with the operation of this unit, please try the following before seeking repair. If these measures do not solve the problem, please contact the store where you bought the unit or TEAC customer support (see the back

cover).

The unit will not turn on

o Conrm that the power plug and other connectors are

inserted completely.

The SD card is not recognized

o Conrm that the SD card is inserted completely.

No sound is output

o Are the input sources and MODE switches set properly? o Are that channel faders raised to suitable levels? o Is the MAIN fader raised to a suitable level? o Is a monitoring system correctly connected to the PHONES

jack or SUB OUTPUT jacks?

Is the monitoring system set up correctly? o Is the PHONES knob or SUB fader place to a suitable level? o Is the SD MAIN MIX RETURN switch on (pushed in, during

playback of anything other than a stereo master le)? o Are the SOLO or AFL switches on for each channel?

The sound I want to record is distorted

o Are the channel GAIN knobs set too high?

Are the input source levels to high? o Is the EQ set too high? o Are any channel faders or the MAIN fader raised too high? o Is the monitoring level too high, causing the

monitoringsystem to distort?

Cannot connect or communication is interrupted when using Bluetooth

o Conrm that the other Bluetooth device power is on and that

its Bluetooth function is on.

o Conrm that the other Bluetooth device is not too far away.

Are there walls or other obstacles, for example, between this unit and the other Bluetooth device?

Try changing the positions of this unit and the other

Bluetooth device. o Turn OFF and restart the Model 12. o pp Remove the “Model 12” pairing record from the other

Bluetooth device, and try pairing the unit with that Bluetooth

device again. (see “Connecting with Bluetooth devices” on

page 32)

Cannot pair with another Bluetooth device

o Conrm that the other Bluetooth device supports A2DP. o Conrm that the other Bluetooth device is in a state that

allows transmission. For details, check the operation manual

of that Bluetooth device. o Turn the power o for both this unit and the other Bluetooth

device once, turn them both on again and try pairing them. o Turn o Bluetooth devices other than the one that you are

trying to pair with. o Remove the “Model 12” pairing record from the other

Bluetooth device, and try pairing the unit with that Bluetooth

device again. (see “Connecting with Bluetooth devices” on

page 32)

Noise occurs when a passive guitar or bass is connected directly

o Connecting another device to the unit’s SUB OUTPUT jacks

(stereo output) could reduce noise.

o It could be aected by interference noise from another

device, for example. If a power amplier or other device with a large transformer, or a uorescent light, for example, is nearby, changing the distance or orientation of such devices could reduce noise.

Playback is not possible

o If you are trying to play a WAV le, conrm that it uses a

sampling frequency (44.1/48 kHz) and a bit depth (16/24-bit) that are supported by this unit.

There is noise

o Conrm that the connection cables do not have contact

issues.

Sound via Bluetooth breaks up or is noisy

o Are there any wireless LAN devices, other Bluetooth devices,

microwave ovens or similar equipment nearby? Keep such devices as far away as possible during use.

o Try reducing the distance between this unit and the other

Bluetooth device. Try changing the positions of this unit and the other Bluetooth device.

o The operation of apps other than for music playback on the

smartphone could cause the sound to break up. In this case, stop operation of apps other than the one used for music playback.

A computer does not recognize the unit when connected by USB

o Has the dedicated software been installed? (see “Installing

the dedicated software” on page 65) o This unit cannot be used with USB 1.1. Use a USB 2.0 or USB

3.0 port.

o Do not use a USB hub with this unit. Always connect the unit

directly to a USB port on the computer. o If the above methods do not resolve the problem, connect

the unit to a dierent USB port on the computer.

When connected by USB, sound breaks up or noise occurs.

o The processing load on the computer causes sound to break

up and noise to occur. o If a wireless LAN or background software, including antivirus

software, is running, turn it o during use of this unit. In

addition, please use “computer’s power option“ as ”high

performance setting“. o Use the shortest USB cable possible. o Use a USB port built into the computer because the

computer USB port aects the USB connection.
