[. . . ] DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is not provided with a mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then follow the instructions given below: IMPORTANT. [. . . ] Use the level meter and/or headphones for reference. Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort). The control for each band can cut the band by up to 26 dB and boost it by up to 12 dB. If all EQ controls on a PGM are set to ­26dB, this will almost completely cut the signal of the PGM. Each PGM can select from either a LINE input or a PHONO/LINE input (the selection between phono and line is made on the rear panel). Adjusts the signal level of both the top and rear MAIN MIC inputs. W PGM faders Adjust the level of the PGMs e FADER START switches Set the automatic start of A and B using the cross-fader on or off. r Cross-fader ASSIGN selectors Select the signal sources assigned to the A and B crossfader outputs. Each of the four PGMs can be selected as a signal source, and there is also a THRU setting, which means that no PGM is assigned to the cross-fader on that side. Use the PGM and MASTER faders to adjust the output if this setting is made. T Cross-fader Mixes between the A and B outs, assigned from the PGM signals. The cross-fader can be reversed, and you can set the cross-fader curve to match your preferences (see below). It is possible for you to replace the cross-fader if this becomes necessary (see below for details). When the MAIN MIC and/or AUX MIC input signal cause an overload, this indicator lights (post-insert, but pre-EQ). NOTE All input adjustments must be done very carefully. Use the level meters and/or headphones for reference. Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort). 2-band EQ (HI and LO, both cutting and boosting by 12 dB) affecting both the the MAIN MIC and AUX MIC input signals. Allows you to adjust the cross-fader response curve from soft (counter-clockwise) to hard (clockwise). This switch controls what is output from the REC OUT jacks. When this switch is in the PRE setting (the switch is depressed): The four PGM signals and the sampler signal, without the master insert loop. In the POST setting: The four PGM signals and the sampler signal, with the master insert loop, the AUX IN signal, and both the MAIN and AUX MIC signals. [. . . ] As data is saved from each sample, the IN key for that sample flashes. After the last sample has been saved, the OUT key flashes, and the IN keys return to the state they were in before the save operation (lit keys indicate a sample is present). When a sampler contains data (its IN key is lit), press and hold the OUT key and press the IN key to erase the sample data. If no samplers contain data, the OUT key goes out as well. [. . . ]
