BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Warning:  A sudden high output from the mixer could damage your hearing,
          especially if you use headphones, and might also damage the
          audio devices connected to the mixer's output.  Always set your
          receiver/amplifier's volume control to its minimum setting 
          before using the mixer.

Before you connect the power cord or turn on the mixer, make sure POWER is
set to off.  And, to avoid sudden and unusable sound outputs from any
audio devices that you connect to the mixer, be sure their power controls
are set to off (and any tone controls are set to flat).

CONNECTING THE OUTPUTS

To play the mixer's output signal through your sound system (for events
such as parties, dances, conferences, and so on), connect one end of an
audio patch cord (Cat. No. 42-2356, not supplied) to the mixer's OUTPUT
AMP L (white) and R (red) output jacks, then connect the other end to your
receiver/amplifier's left and right line input jacks (matching left to
left, and right to right).

To record the mixer's output signal, connect one end of an audio patch cord
(Cat. No. 42-2356, not supplied) to the mixer's OUTPUT REC L (white) and
R (red) output jacks, then connect the other end to your tape deck's left
and right line input jacks (matching left to left and right to right).

CONNECTING THE INPUTS

You can connect up to two line-level and up to two low-level audio input
sources to the input jacks on the back of the mixer.  You can also connect
a microphone (not supplied) to the mixer's front panel.

1.  Connect the line-level outputs from up to two audio sources (such as a
    CD player, tape deck, tuner, camcorder, or VCR) to the LINE 1 and LINE
    2 input jacks.

    Caution:  Do not connect an audio source with a line-level output to 
              the low-level PHONO 1 or PHONO 2 input jacks.

2.  Connect the low-level outputs from up to two other audio sources (such
    as magnetic-cartridge turntables) to the PHONO 1 and PHONO 2 input
    jacks.

    Note:  If you connect magnetic-cartridge turntables, also connect their
           ground wires (usually black or green) to the GND screw on the
           back of the mixer.

3.  Connect a microphone with a 1/4-inch plug into MIC on the front panel.
    This is the DJ's microphone.

CONNECTING POWER

Connect the power cord to a standard AC outlet.

Note:  The power cord has a polarized plug that fits only one way into a
       standard AC outlet.  If the plug does not fit, turn it 180 degrees
       so it fits properly.  Do not force the plug into the AC outlet or
       you could damage the outlet or the plug.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

To listen in privacy or monitor the audio source inputs so you can locate
an exact passage or section before mixing it, plug a pair of stereo 
headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4-inch plug into the PHONES jack.

Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of headphones.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

To protect your hearing when you use headphones, always follow these
guidelines to set the listening volume.

   Set CUE LEVEL to the lowest setting before you begin listening.

   After you put on the headphones, adjust CUE LEVEL to a comfortable
   listening volume level.

   Once you reach a comfortable level, do not increase the volume.  Over
   time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a level that no longer
   causes discomfort might still damage your hearing.
