[. . . ] Zone LeVeL VoLuMe output controL - This rotary knob is used to control the zone level volume. The zone level is not PFL, it is essentially a second master output volume with separate output volume control. FaDer assiGn sWitch - This is a five position switch that assigns a channel to the CrOssFadEr (18). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CrOssFadEr (18) that channels output level is routed to and controlled by the CrOssFadEr (18). Sliding the CrOssFadEr (18) to left position will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the MastEr VOLUME LEVEL (5), siding the CrOssFadEr (18) to right position will cut that channels volume to MastEr VOLUME LEVEL (5). The reverse is true for the right channel fader assign switch. When the assign switch is set to the "OFF" position the crossfader will have no function. Q-start on/oFF sWitch - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ® or American Audio® "Q" Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop a CD Player with the slide of the mixer's CrOssFadEr (18). The ON/OFF "Q" START SWITCh activates the FADER "Q" START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER "Q" START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT. For example; Assuming you have two compatible American AudioTM CD players or a compatible dual CD player connected to channels A and B. When the Fader "Q" Start option is turned on, sliding the crossfader to the far left position will trigger playback on CD player A. When the crossfader is pushed to the far right position, playback on CD player B will begin, and CD player A will return to the cue position. Refer to your American Audio CD player user manual for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCh to the OFF position to disengaged "Q" Start function and resume to a normal fader. Feather FaDer pLus crossFaDer - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels A and B together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels A and B respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels A and channels B will be even. channeL VoLuMe FaDer - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its particular channel.
