[. . . ] Damage Requiring Service -- This product should be serviced only by qualified service personnel when: A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into this product; or C. This product has been exposed to rain; or D. This product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. [. . . ] Subtle adjustment of the channels' level control is the key to a finely-tuned mix. Typically (providing the GAIN is set correctly), this will be positioned somewhere between 0 dB (U) and the 3 o'clock position. If you have LEVEL set all the way up, it's usually a sign that your GAIN is set too low. If LEVEL is set way down, your GAIN may be too high. Note: If this were a slide control instead of a rotary one, it would be called a fader. It still serves as the reference point when talking about pre-fader and post-fader. 10 L PAN R 1 11 U LEVEL MAX 9 12 12 15 15 12. AUX RETURN INPUTS Connect the outputs of an external parallel effects device into these inputs. When connecting a mono device (just one cord), always use the left (mono) input and plug nothing into the right input. The signals are added into the main mix, and a summed mono signal is added to the monitor mix. Adjustment is provided by the fascinating AUX RETURN controls described below.

AUX RETURN TO MAIN MIX This adjusts the amount of signal from the AUX RETURN inputs that goes to the main mix. 18 MAIN CD/ TAPE 14. AUX RETURN TO AUX 1 MON This adjusts the amount of signal from the AUX RETURN inputs that goes to the monitor mix (AUX 1 SEND). CAUTION: Leave this control turned all the way down if you are using the AUX 1 SEND to go to an external processor whose signal is returned via the AUX RETURNS. It would create a feedback loop that would cause the audience to howl as loud as the speakers (ouch)! CTRL ROOM MA X MAIN MIX OFF MAIN U 21 CD/ TAPE TO MAIN MI X MAIN MIX MA X 15. CD/TAPE INPUTS This is where you connect the outputs of your intermission entertainment. Any line-level mono or stereo device can be used, such as: tape, DVD/CD player, television audio, etc. Signals coming into these inputs are routed directly to the main mix when the CD/TAPE TO MAIN MIX (21) button is pushed in. The signals can also be routed to the CONTROL ROOM (25) outputs when the CTRL ROOM (18) switch is pushed in. See Appendix B for more information about RCA connectors. When connecting a mono device (just one cord), you'll need a "Y-splitter" RCA adapter. It turns a mono output cord into two cords, so both the right and left tape input jacks can be used. Note: There is a chance of feedback if you have the tape inputs and outputs connected to the same recorder, and the recorder is in record mode. 10 MASTER SECTION Before you read this section, have a read of the channel strip controls in the previous section. 20.
