Don't put the Remote Control in the outside pocket of the Power Stand gig bag. It'll get hit during transportation.
The gig bag for the upper half of the {{L1 CR}} speaker is designed to leave room for the Remote alongside the bayonet; this is a good protected area.
== Stiff Controls ==
If the knobs get stiff, you can pull them out a bit. Chances are they've just gotten jammed down during packing.

If you power up the System without the Remote Connected, the PowerStand operates as though the Remote is connected with all controls straight-up (12 o'clock) position.  
If you power up the System without the Remote Connected, the Power Stand operates as though the Remote is connected with all controls straight-up (12 o'clock) position.  


The PS1 power stand continuously senses activity at all preset selectors and what is connected at the input/output jacks. In general, it is not recommended to operate without the remote connected. The PS1 power stand can however function without the R1 remote control. If you power the PS1 power stand on without the R1 remote control connected, it will operate as if the R1 remote control was connected and at a fixed setting of 12 o'clock (center position) on all the control knobs. Alternatively, if the unit is powered on with the R1 remote control first connected and the user then disconnects the R1 remote control, it will retain the last settings of the R1 remote control before you disconnected it. This is helpful in the case where sharing may be necessary.

Even without the R1 Remote control the system can get to full output if the input trims are carefully set.

I always wire up the PowerStand so that the vocals are in Channel 1. This just means that it's always the same, easy to describe, and one less thing to wonder about. (exception below)

Mr. Jonz is right (as always). The LED on the remote is after the insert loop. Depending on how much energy the signal gains (or looses) in the loop, the LEDs on the power stand and on the remote get out of sync.

Unfortunately, there isn't any easy way to set an effects processor to "unity gain". Observing the two LEDs might help with that.

You can get a replacement cable (sometimes known as a 7 pin midi cable).
