TROUBLESHOOTING
RE-INITIALIZING: TRY THIS FIRST
If your unit behaves erratically or “freezes,” do not assume you need to clean the
heads or perform any type of servicing. This situation can sometimes occur due to
line voltage spikes, temporary brownouts, and other problems related to AC power.
To fix the problem:
• Eject the Tape.
• Power down the unit, then power it back up again. Many times this is all you
need to do.
• If there’s still a problem, re-initialize the software by holding down RECORD
and PLAY buttons while turning on the POWER switch. This will reset all
parameters (locate points, etc.) to their default settings.
If the LX20 freezes up often, consider buying an uninterruptible power supply. Many
users who experienced inconsistent ADAT operation reported that these problems
disappeared after cleaning up the power feeding the ADATs.
