Precautions before making connections

p Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly. p Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby). p Install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered from the same line. When using a power strip or similar

device, be sure to use one that has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize fluctuations in power voltage.

p Before connecting audio equipment, set the following knobs and faders to their lowest values. Failure to do so could cause sudden

loud noises from monitoring equipment, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.

o GAIN knobs (channels 1-8, 9/10-11/12) o Channel faders (channels 1-8, 9/10-11/12, 13/14) o SUB fader o MON 1/MON 2 knobs o MAIN fader

o CR fader
