This symbol indicates important information for safe operation of the device and the safety of the user.
This symbol indicates other important information on the topic.
Operating environment
Place the device on a stable, even surface and do not place any heavy objects on the device. The device is not designed for use in environments with a high temperature or humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or in extremely dusty conditions. Operating temperatures and operating air humidity: 5 °C to 35 °C, max. 75 % rel. air humidity.
Ensure that
- air can always circulate freely (do not place the device on shelves, on a thick carpet or a bed or anywhere where ventilation slots are covered, and always leave at least 10 cm clearance on all sides):
• no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) can affect the device;
• no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device;
- contact with sprayed and dripping water and corrosive liquids is prevented and the device is never operated near water; in particular it should never be immersed (do not place any objects filled with liquids such as vases or drinks on or near the device);
• the device is not in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g. speakers);
• no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device;
• no foreign objects penetrate the device;
- the device is not subjected to any extreme temperature fluctuations, as this may result in moisture caused by condensation and therefore a short circuit;
• the device is never subjected to excessive shocks and vibrations.
Cables
Always handle the cables by the plug and do not pull on the cables themselves. Never place the device, any furniture or other heavy objects on the cable and take care that the cable is not kinked, especially near the plug and connection sockets. Never make knots in any of the cables or tie them together with other cables. Ensure that all cables are placed so that no one can trip over them and they do not cause an obstruction.
Children and persons with disabilities
Electrical devices do not belong in the hands of children. Persons with disabilities should also only use electrical devices appropriately. Never allow children or persons with disabilities to use electrical devices unsupervised. They may not recognise potential risks. Small parts can be fatal if swallowed. Also always keep plastic packaging out of reach, as it poses a suffocation risk.

Prior to use
Installing the software
First connect the device to the computer before installing the necessary software. Important files can be overwritten and altered during installation of programs or drivers. You should back up the contents of your hard drive before installing the program so that you can still access your original files if there is a problem with the installation.
- Insert the enclosed CD ROM into the drive and the installation menu opens automatically.
• Install the software (Cross DJ) according to the directions on the screen. - If the device has been correctly connected to the computer, the window for entering the product key opens:
- Now enter the product key shown on the CD case.
- Confirm the entry by clicking "Submit".
If the setup wizard does not automatically start when the CD-ROM is inserted, then the auto run function of your CD drive is deactivated. Then proceed as follows:
- Click on the 'Start' button to open the Start Menu.
- Click on the option 'Run...'
- Insert the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive, followed by a colon and the program name 'Autorun' (e.g. D:autorun).
- Click on the 'OK' button to confirm the entry.
The Cross DJ software
A detailed description of the software functions such as the recording function is given on the enclosed CD-ROM. Please note that the "Preview" function is not supported by the SilverCrest SDJ 100 A1 USB Mixer.
Connecting the USB Mixer
Connect the USB Mixer to the computer. To this purpose insert the small plug of the supplied USB cable into the USB port on the rear of the USB Mixer. Insert the wide plug of the USB cable into a free USB port of your computer.
Set-up
When you have connected the USB Mixer to your computer and have installed the Cross DJ software, the device is ready for use. Start the supplied software to create your mixes. A detailed User Manual for the use of the software is provided on the enclosed CD-ROM.
Players
With the USB Mixer you can control two players. The USB Mixer is designed so that the left-hand controls are used to control the left-hand player (player A) and the right-hand controls for controlling the right-hand player (player B).
The MASTER VOLUME control [7] located in the centre controls the volume of both players (players A and B). Use the CROSSFADER [11] to seamlessly crossfade between both players. The BROWSE control [1] is used to select a track. For more information, read the following section.
Loading a track
You can highlight a track in the software with the BROWSE control [1]. To this purpose turn the control either clockwise or anti-clockwise. To load the highlighted track into a player, use the LOAD buttons A or B [6]. Press the LOAD A button [6] to load the highlighted track into player A. To load the highlighted track into player B, press the LOAD B button [6].
Please note that a track can only be loaded into a player when the player is paused and if you have not previously loaded a track into the player.
When a track is loaded into the player for the first time, it is analysed. The track speed and the full track information is displayed after this analysis.
Track playback
Press the ▶II button [15] of the respective player to start playback of the loaded track. The ▶II button [15] lights up green during playback. To pause the track, press the ▶II button [15] again.
Adjusting the player volume
You can adjust the player volume with the VOLUME control [9]. To this purpose use the VOLUME control [9] of the respective player.
You can use this control, for example, to adjust the volume of two tracks to the same level during mixing.
Adjusting the master volume
You can adjust the master volume with the MASTER VOLUME control [7]. The volume of both players is then adjusted accordingly.
Mixing tracks
The CROSSFADER [11] permits crossfading of the tracks. If you move the CROSSFADER [11] to the far left, only the track in player A is audible. If you only wish to listen to the track in player B, move the CROSSFADER [11] to the far right. Set the CROSSFADER [11] to the centre position to listen to both tracks (players A and B) at the same time.
If, for example, you want to crossfade from player A to player B, move the CROSSFADER [11] from the left to the right.
Scratch and search functions
You can use the JOG WHEEL [4] to scratch the track or search for a position in the track. You can also adjust the speed of a track. Press the SCRATCH/SEARCH button [10] to switch from SCRATCH to SEARCH mode. If the SCRATCH/SEARCH button [10] lights up, SCRATCH mode is activated. If the SCRATCH/SEARCH button [10] does not light up, SEARCH mode is activated.
SCRATCH mode (button lights up):
In this mode the track is scratched when the JOG WHEEL [4] is moved. Please note that when you release the JOG WHEEL [4], the track continues to run normally or is paused. If the JOG WHEEL [4] runs on, the track remains unaffected.
SCRATCH mode is available when the player is running or paused.
SEARCH mode (button does not light up):
If the player is paused, a position in the track can be searched for by moving the JOG WHEEL [4]. If the player is playing a track, the speed can be varied by moving the JOG WHEEL [4]. The track is played at the normal speed once more when the JOG WHEEL [4] is released.
The SEARCH mode is only available when a track is paused.
Varying the speed
Use the PITCH control [2] to vary the track speed. You can set the minimum and maximum possible speed here in the software. Set the PITCH control [2] to the centre position until it engages to play the track at the normal speed. Also refer to the software documentation on the enclosed CD.
Automatic track synchronisation
Use the SYNC button [12] to automatically synchronise the beat of the track with the beat of the other track. When you press the SYNC button [12], it lights up briefly. Both tracks then run synchronously and can be crossfaded without interrupting the rhythm.
High frequencies
You can adjust the high frequencies with the TREBLE control [5]. Turn the TREBLE control [5] anticlockwise to dampen the high frequencies. To amplify the high frequencies, turn the TREBLE control [5] clockwise. Set the TREBLE control [5] to the centre position until it engages to ensure an unchanged frequency response.
Low frequencies
You can adjust the low frequencies (bass) with the BASS control [8]. Turn the BASS control [8] anticlockwise to dampen the low frequencies. To amplify the low frequencies, turn the BASS control [8]
clockwise. Set the BASS control [8] to the centre position until it engages to ensure an unchanged frequency response.
Reversing the playback direction
Press the REV button [13] to reverse the playback direction. You can therefore use this function to play a track backwards. To play the track forwards again, press the REV button [13] again. When the track is playing backwards, the REV button [13] lights up red.
Using a CUE point
First set a CUE point at the point in the track from which playback should be started. To this purpose pause playback near the position at which you want to set the CUE point by pressing the ▶II button [15]. Now use the JOG WHEEL [4] to find the exact position on the track.
Ensure that the JOG WHEEL [4] is in SEARCH mode during this function. For further information for setting the SEARCH mode, turn to page 79 in the "Scratch and search functions" section.
The CUE button [14] now flashes and shows that a new CUE point can be set. Now press the CUE button [14] to set the CUE point to the current track position. The CUE button [14] stops flashing and the CUE point was set.
If you press the CUE button [14] during playback, playback is stopped immediately and the player jumps to the CUE point. If no CUE point has been set, the player jumps to the beginning of the track. If you hold down the CUE button [14], the track is played from the CUE point. When you release the CUE button [14], playback is stopped and the player jumps back to the CUE point.
Using the HOT points
You can set two HOT points for each player. To this purpose use the HOT1 button [16] and the HOT2 button [17].
Pause playback near the position at which you want to set the HOT point by pressing the ▶II button [15]. Now use the JOG WHEEL [4] to find the exact position on the track.
Ensure that the JOG WHEEL [4] is in SEARCH mode during this function. For further information for setting the SEARCH mode, turn to page 79 in the "Scratch and search functions" section.
Now press the HOT1 button [16] to set the HOT1 point at the current position of the track or the HOT2 button [17] to set the HOT2 point at the current position of the track. The HOT1 button [16] or HOT2 button [17] now lights up and shows that a HOT point has been set.
If you press the HOT1 button [16] or the HOT2 button [17] during playback, the player jumps to the HOT point and continues playback from this point.
When playback is paused, briefly press the HOT1 button [16] or the HOT2 button [17] to jump to the HOT point. If you press the HOT1 button [16] or the HOT2 button [17] for longer than two seconds (the track is played during this time), the HOT point is deleted and the player jumps to the position of the deleted HOT point. Playback is then paused.
Press the HOT1 button [16] or the HOT2 button [17] several times in quick succession to create a stuttering effect.
The created HOT points are permanently saved. If you load a track into the player, the previously created HOT points are immediately available.
Effects
A wide range of effects are at your disposal that you can integrate into your tracks. Select the desired effect by turning the FX SEL ON/OFF control [3]. The currently selected effect is displayed in the software. Press the FX SEL ON/OFF control [3] to activate the effect. If an effect has been activated, the red LED below the FX SEL ON/OFF control [3] lights up. You can vary the intensity of the effect by turning the FX GAIN control [3]. Press the FX SEL ON/OFF control [3] again to deactivate the effect. Also refer to the software documentation on the enclosed CD.
