THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the user's authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

(d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
(e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

1. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
2. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

■ Robust basic functions

Input-output features

• 12 input terminals are available, 2 for CD/LINE input, 3 for LINE input, 3 for PHONO input, 2 for microphone input and 2 for digital input.
• Digital output, audio recording output, monitor output, headphone output, master 1 and 2 output, and a pro-spec engineered XLR terminal which all function independently.
• An EFFECT SEND, EFFECT RETURN terminals have also been added for use with an external effector.

3 Band equalizer for sound-source level

• A HIGH, MID, LOW equalizer is provided for each channel. A wide variety of possibilities are provided for sound as the attenuation range is set to a high -24 dB (12 dB/oct).

Robust monitor features for play

• Monitoring of the desired channel can be done quickly now that a CUE button has been added to each channel and to the effect function.
• Using the MONITOR MIXING control knob you can mix the master output and the channel selected with the CUE button. Using MONOSPLIT MODE, you can monitor master output and the selected channel split separately into the left and right channels.

Support for an external effector

• You can turn EFFECT on and off for each channel. Select PRE or POST connection for the effector and adjust the SEND, RETURN level control.

Digitally controlled fader components that are robust and functional

• A C. FADER CURVE switch has been added to the cross fader to provide 3 new types of cross fader curve settings.
• A reverse switch has been added for each channel fader and the cross fader.
• Through the use of an engineered VCA control, volume can be controlled with very little loss in audio quality using the channel fader or cross fader.
• Reliability improvements have been made to the cross fader through the adoption of optical cross fader circuits and a highly durable 45 mm stroke fader providing smooth operation.

■ Providing new audio performance using the channel fader and cross fader

Use the channel fader to control the left (L) and right (R) channels individually
- With the PLAY MODE function the selected channels can be separated and the L or R volume can be controlled individually using the channel fader.

Control the FRONT and REAR output for two channel output using master 1, 2

• By turning the SEPARATE OUT switch to on, you can separate CH1 and CH2 output to the front and CH3 and CH4 output to the rear, providing you with new sound field performance in combination with the feature of being able to adjust the left (L) and right (R) channels individually.

■ Linked play on the connected digital turntable

Real-time start and stop control using the fader

• You start and stop the digital turntable by operating the channel fader or cross fader when connected to a digital turntable with a control cable.
• A maximum of 2 digital turntables can be linked digitally through 2 digital inputs.
