Turn the DJ-496 power "on" and wait for the two IMAGE LED's to appear. Enter Setting mode by clicking the The rapidly flashing cursor will appear at the first position on the left (xlr). switch down twice so the flashing cursor appears above the "usb" Click the legend. [. . . ] Because the output can only operate at one sample frequency, if more than one audio application is open and they are playing at two difference sample rates, sample rate conversion will be introduced on the second playback source (assuming the output setting matches the first source's sample rate). You can check this by looking at the sample rate displayed in the Setting mode of the DJ-496 while playing a file. The alternative is less of a purist approach, but easier- "rip" all of your files at the same sample rate so the playback sample rate does not change. This means that sample rate conversion will be introduced when ripping files that have a different original sample rate than the one that you 8 DJ-496 Operation choose as your "default. " Because the sample rate conversion does not happen in "real time, " a more accurate conversion is possible, so the final quality should be better than letting the computer automatically introduce sample rate conversion on playback. CONFIGURING THE XLR OUTPUTS: The unit is factory configured to operate in Balanced output mode. The balanced audio signal appears on Pin 2 and Pin 3 of the XLR outputs. Pin 1 is a ground connection for the cable shield. The unit may be configured using the Setting mode to drive unbalanced inputs. The default setting for the invert function is "off, " which results in the signal Polarity of the XLR outputs being Pin 2 "+" and Pin 3 "­". This is also the correct setting for normal listening when using the XLR to RCA adapters included with the DJ-496. The included XLR to RCA adapters and many adapter cables are wired as "Pin 2 Hot unbalanced. " The XLR outputs are short-circuit protected, so operating the DJ-496 with the outputs configured incorrectly will not result in permanent damage. - If the outputs are configured for balanced operation and connected to unbalanced wiring, the reproduced audio will be significantly more distorted than with the proper configuration. Please see the section OPTIONAL INFRARED REMOTE for details. - In Setting mode, the VOLUME display indicates both the input sample rate and whether the selected input and is "locked" to a valid signal. If the input is locked, the sample rate is displayed as a two digit number; if it is not locked or a signal is not present, the symbol "- -" is displayed. Please see the section (below) titled "xlr, opt, usb, rca" in for details. SETTING MODE switch under the SELECT legend once either up or To enter the Setting mode, click the down. The display will change from indicating the setting of the Stereo Width Control to indicating the status of the programmable settings. - The first time Setting mode is entered after power is applied, the left-most LED will begin flashing. If other functions or inputs are enabled, the LED above their legend will be illuminated. - When the Setting mode is exited, the position of the cursor is retained, so upon re-entering Setting mode it will appear at the same position (function). The LED at the cursor position indicates the status of the function differently than other positions- At positions other than that of the cursor, if the LED is illuminated ("On"), the function is enabled ("On"). If the LED is "Off, " the function is "Off. " - At the cursor position, if the LED is flashing at a fast rate, the function is "On. " If the LED is flashing slowly, the function is "Off. " !!! [. . . ] To disable SAFE MODE using the switches under the SELECT legend, the unit must be in Setting mode. - Use the left switch marked - Press and hold the right switch in the EXIT direction until the "LE" symbol appears and the LED's in the IMAGE display blink once. - Safe Mode can be re-enabled using the same procedure. When SAFE MODE is disabled, all functions of the infrared remote will operate without having to press "0" first to "open the gate. " The status of SAFE MODE is displayed by the LED's in the IMAGE section in operating mode. [. . . ]
