CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

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.)

÷ When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth,

separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.

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.

BPM COUNTING

Automatic Mode BPM Counting

This function automatically counts the track’s speed in BPM (Beats Per Minute), displaying the results as a numerical value. The functions does not merely count the bass beat, but uses a computer to calculate the track’s original BPM required by the DJ. The display provides a visual standard in addition to the human ear, thus allowing the DJ to quickly match two tracks possessing differing speeds. When auto mode is used to count BPM, the calculated BPM value is displayed on the LCD panel, allowing quick matching of tracks with differing speeds. (Counting range: 70.0 to

180.0 BPM) The display flashes during BPM counting. * Some tracks may not be counted properly, in which case

manual count should be used. (See page 11, top panel items 44, 51)

By moving the mixer’s channel fader or cross fader lever, the CD player’s pause function is released and play starts instantly. Also, by returning the fader lever to its original position, the CD player can be returned to its cue point (back cue function), thus allowing sampling playback.

Cross fader lever positions

FADER OPERATIONS

Cross fader start play and back cue play

When the CH-1 CD player is held in standby at the cue point, merely moving the cross fader lever from the right (CH-2) side to the left (CH-1) side will cause the CH-1 CD player to begin playback. When the cross fader lever reaches the left (CH-1) side, CH-2 CD player performs back cue (returns to its cue point). Likewise, when the CH-2 CD player is in standby at its cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the left (CH-1) side to the right (CH-2) side causes CH-2 CD player to begin playback. When the cross fader lever reaches the right (CH-2) side, CH-1 CD player performs back cue. * Back cue is performed even if the input selector switch is

not set to CD.

Start playback with channel fader 1 To control a connected CD player, set the front

panel FADER START selector switch for the corresponding channel to its [CH-1] or [CH-2] position.

When using the CH-1 fader lever to start the CH-1 CD player, set the front panel C.F.1/CH-1 switch to the [CH-1] position; when using the CH-2 fader lever to start the CH-2 CD player, set the front panel C.F.2/CH-2 switch to [CH-2] position.

Effect Parameters

The 50 built-in effects can be modified by parameters for time and amount to produce a wider variety of effects. Operate the TIME/ SELECT dial to adjust time parameters (parameter 1), and use the MIX/DEPTH dial to adjust amount parameters (parameter 2). Also with fader effects, the position of the fader lever can be used to produce changes resulting in an even wider range of effects.
