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.
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.
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.
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

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Placing and using the unit for long periods on heat-generating
sources such as amplifiers or near spotlights, etc. will affect
product performance. Avoid placing the unit on heat-generating
sources.
• Install this unit as far as possible away from tuners and TV sets.
A unit installed in close proximity to such equipment may cause
noise or degradation of the picture. Noise may be noticeable
when an indoor antenna is used. In such cases, make use of an
outdoor antenna or turn off power to the unit.
• When the unit is used in a loud-sound environment, e.g., near a
speaker, sound skip may occur. Install the unit away from the
speaker or reduce the listening volume.
• Place this unit on a level surface and a stable platform.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Be sure the unit, including USB cable, does not touch vibrating
materials. Any cause of vibration other than the insulators may
cause sound skip.
Take special care when using the unit while it is installed in a
carrying case.
About carrying cases
The jog dial is equipped with a delicate switch. If the unit is placed
in a carrying case, take precautions to prevent any pressure from
being exerted on the surface of the jog dial.
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 the unit and impair its
performance. In such cases, allow the unit to stand for about an
hour or raise the room temperature gradually.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral
detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well,
and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do
not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will
damage to the unit.
Cleaning the Jog Dial
To clean the jog dial wipe with a polishing or a soft, dry cloth. For
stubborn dirt, moisten a soft cloth with a weak solution of neutral
detergent (diluted in five to six parts water), wring the cloth well,
and wipe away the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.
Applying alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, insecticides, or other
stringent substances to the jog dial may cause the markings or
finishing of the dial to peel or become discolored, and the use of
any such substances should accordingly be avoided.

USING MIDI FOR COMPUTER CONTROL
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standardized
protocol used to govern data transmission between electronic
musical instruments and computers.
The SEP-C1 uses the MIDI message format to output its operating
data and status to a computer connected by USB cable. By using
a DJ software program with USB MIDI support to assign the MIDI
messages output by the SEP-C1, the SEP-C1 can be used to
control the DJ software.
For more information regarding messages output by the SEP-C1,
consult the section “MIDI MESSAGE TABLE” (P. 23).

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you believe the unit is failing to work properly, check the following troubleshooting table for tips. Sometimes simple mistakes in setup
or operation may appear like serious problems. There are also times when the problem in question may be caused by something else other
than the unit, and at times like these you should check any other electronic devices being used at the same time.
If the problem in question continues to persist even after checking the troubleshooting table below and taking whatever corrective action
is recommended, contact your nearest Pioneer Service Station or contact the store from which you purchased the unit for further
assistance.

ABOUT THE LCD SCREEN
• Some LCD monitors may display so-called “hot pixels” or “dead pixels” (constantly bright pixels or pixels that are permanently
off). This is a phenomenon characteristic of LCD displays and is not considered a malfunction.
• When used in cold regions, the screen may appear dark for a while after the power is first turned on. As the unit warms up with
time, the screen will return to normal brightness.
• Avoid viewing the LCD screen in direct sunlight, since the light reflected off the screen may make the image difficult to view.
ABOUT OEL (ORGANIC EL) SCREENS
• The two screens (displays A/B) may display slightly different color characteristics, but this is not a malfunction.
