TION

1. POWER ON: Once all equipment connections have been made,

press POWER (9) switch. Power is ON when POWER LED (8)

is illuminated.

2. CHANNEL 1: The PH-1/LN-1 (6) switch allows you to select

PHONO 1 or LINE 1. CHANNEL SLIDE (11) controls the input

level of this channel.

3. CHANNEL 2: The PH-2/LN-2 (7) switch allows you to select

PHONO 2 or LINE 2. CHANNEL SLIDE (12) controls the input

level of this channel.

4. CROSSFADER: The CROSSFADER (16) allows the mixing of

one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER

is Channel 1 while the right belongs to Channel 2.

Note: Do not apply pressure while using the Crossfader.

Lightly glide the crossfader back and forth. Pressing down

on the controls can bend contacts and cause a loss of sound.

5. CUE: Connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONES jack

allows you to monitor either Channel 1 or Channel 2. Select

Channel 1 by moving CUE SWITCH (14) to the left. Listen to

Channel 2 by moving CUE SWITCH to the right. Use CUE LEVEL

(15) to adjust headphone volume without affecting the speaker-

driven mix. Cue facilitates the seamless blending of one recorded

track into another.
