POWER SUPPLY
0
Use only with rated AC voltage. If you will be using this unit in a country
having a different voltage, be sure to obtain the proper transformer to
convert to rated voltage.
l

llNPUT/OUTPUT
JACKSANDCONNECTIONCORDS
Be sure to use standard “guitar” cables with phone plugs, such as the
cable supplied with this instrument, for input and output connections to the
rear panel of the EX-8000. Never insert any other kind of plug into these
jacks.
n
Preventing ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
As a microprocessor based device, the EX-8000 is extremely flexible in
operation, yet may possibly perform erratically if exposed to electrical in-
terference from other electrical devices and fluorescent lamps. Avoid oper-
ating the EX-8000 near possible sources of interference. If something
seems to be wrong, try turning off the power, waiting about ten seconds,
them turning it back on. This resets the computer circuits to their initial
state so performance should return to normal.
n
HANDLE GENTLY
Knobs and switches are designed to provide positive operation with a light
touch. Excessive force may cause damage.
n
MAINTENANCE
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never use,paint thinner, benzene
or other solvents.
l
KEEP THIS MANUAL
Store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
n
MEMORY BACKUP
l
To protect your programmed memory contents, the EX-8000 utilizes a
built-in rechargeable backup battery power supply. Battery life is rated
at five years or more, so replacement is recommended after five years.
Contact your Korg dealer or authorized service center at that time.
OFor
maximum security, save your sound programs on tape, using the
built-in tape interface system. Then if memory contents are accidentally
erased or altered, you can simply load the data back into EX-8000 in-
ternal memory in seconds!
