Korg SP-500 Manuel D’Utilisation

ii

Using the unit in the following locations can result in a mal-
function.

• In direct sunlight
• Locations of extreme temperature or humidity
• Excessively dusty or dirty locations
• Locations of excessive vibration

Please connect the designated AC/AC power supply to an 
AC outlet of the correct voltage. Do not connect it to an AC 
outlet of voltage other than that for which your unit is 
intended.
The AC/AC power supply will produce a certain amount of 
heat during operation, but this is not a malfunction. When 
power is connected, place it in a well ventilated location, and 
avoid placing it on a plastic object or where heat buildup 
might occur.

This product contains a microcomputer. Radios and televi-
sions placed nearby may experience reception interference. 
Operate this unit at a suitable distance from radios and tele-
visions.

To avoid breakage, do not apply excessive force to the 
switches or controls.

If the exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. 
Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene or thinner, or 
cleaning compounds or flammable polishes.

After reading this manual, please keep it for later reference.

• Never set any container with liquid in it near this equip-

ment. If liquid gets into the equipment, it could cause a 
breakdown, fire, or electrical shock.

• Be careful not to let metal objects get into the equip-

ment. If something does slip into the equipment, unplug 
the AC/AC power supply from the wall outlet. Then con-
tact your nearest Korg dealer or the store where the 
equipment was purchased.

Unforeseen malfunctions can result in the loss of mem-
