Troubleshooting
If there is no sound or if the unit does not operate as you expect, please check the following points 
first. If this does not resolve the problem, contact the nearest Roland/EDIROL service center or 
authorized Roland/EDIROL distributor.
There’s No Sound
• Make sure the Input Level control has not been turned fully counterclockwise.
• Make sure the Input Select switch has been set to the connector where the input signal is 
connected (Digital Input or Analog Input).
• Make sure the Digital Input select switch has been set to the connector where the input signal is 
connected (Optical or Coaxial).
• Input a digital signal to the Digital Input connector. No sound is produced when an analog signal 
is input.
The volume level of the instrument connected to ANALOG INPUT is 
too low
• Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does 
not contain a resistor.
During Digital Signal Input, the Stereo Image Is Reversed or 
Sounds Unnatural, or Output Doesn’t Sound Like Stereo
• Check the setting of the Assign switch (Right, L+R, or Left). The DM-5 uses an identical 
construction for the left and right monitors, and makes no distinction between left and right. 
During digital signal input, set the Assign switch L or R as appropriate for your setup.
