Hi!
Try volume up your source, tape recorder or whatever you are sending it from. Cause it matters...
I know..
If not, there are many syx files you can load via midi!!
Welcome!!

Subject: [DW8000] Hello to All and DW-8000 Resurrection
Hello all, i am new to both this group and the DW-8000.
I picked up a DW-8000 off Yahoo Japan and am in the process of trying to resurrect her. It was sold as being in an unknown condition and without the power cable. I have changed the power cable socket to the three prong style and replaced the internal battery. The unit powers up fine but i have no sound output at all. It is my understanding that this is a normal condition when the battery is replaced (no programs in memory so no sound).
To remedy the lack of program data, i am trying to load the factory presets from tape. I've checked out the process in the user manual and am running into a snag.
It would appear that once i put the WRITE switch to ENABLE and the TAPE switch to ENABLE the LCD screen should read "7A PE". When i set these two switches to ENABLE on my DW-8000, the LCD makes no such change.
Obviously something is going wrong here. If anyone has ever encountered a similar problem, i would be grateful to hear the eventual outcome.
Many thanks to all for reading and happy holidays,
KRM
