LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING – The appliance
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.
VENTILATION – The appliance should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
HEAT – The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
POWER SOURCES – The appliance should be con-
nected to a power supply only of the type de­scribed in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
GROUNDING-TYPE PLUG – This product is equipped
with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
CLEANING – The appliance should be cleaned only
with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never clean with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or other volatile liquids since they may corrode the cabinet.
POWER LINES – An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
NONUSE PERIODS – The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left un­used for a long period of time.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – The appliance
should be serviced by a Pioneer authorized service center or qualified service personnel when:
÷ The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged.
÷ Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the appliance.
÷ The appliance has been exposed to rain. ÷ The appliance does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance.
÷ The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure
damaged.
SERVICING – The user should not attempt to service

ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H)
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING – If an outside
antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. In the U.S.A. section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. A.
CART – An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

LISTENING
For A Lifetime
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
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.
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.
Decibel Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
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.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING
CHECKING ACCESSORIES
Location
Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Exces­sive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal com­ponents. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty envi­ronment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be ex­posed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)
Condensation
When this unit is brought into a warm room from previ­ously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning the unit
• Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.
• Power cord
• Short-circuit pin plug (four) These are inserted in the PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 termi­nals at the rear.

FEATURES
BPM Counter
The auto BPM counter provided allows the tempo of songs to be checked visually. This counter can be switched be­tween real-time and average.
BPM Level Display (Beat meter display)
Displays the level of sound components determining the BPM. The beat can be checked visually.
Peak Level Meter
The peak level meter provided is equipped with 15-bit LED indicators for all channels. This meter can be switched be­tween BPM and peak.
Fader Start
The CD player can be started by increasing the level of the cross fader or channel fader, which is selected using the cross fader switch. (This function can be used only when the Pioneer CD player CDJ-500 series is connected.)
3-Band Equalizer & Kill
A 3-band equalizer corresponding to the HI, MID, and LOW channels. The attenuation level also serves as a kill func­tion which can decrease the level to –20 dB.
Digital Display of Effector
Loads the master tempo incorporated in Pioneer CD play­ers. Key changes by the rotary type linear control can give new performance effects to the mixer.
Variety of Effects
Both external effects and internal effects can be imposed on all channels, the microphone, and master. A variety of effects such as delay, echo, auto pan, flanger, reverb, and pitch shifter can be enjoyed.
Enhanced Input/Output Terminals
In addition to the 9 inputs, 2 CD and 2 LINE systems, 3 PHONO (for MM only) systems, and 2 microphone systems, three outputs including the pro-specifications XLR output, and booth monitor output are provided independently. SEND/RETURN terminals are also provided for the exter­nal effectors.
