CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

÷Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

÷When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth, separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning the Unit

÷Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

÷When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

÷Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

FEATURES

1) Designed for high sound quality

Electronic parts have been carefully selected and internal circuitry redesigned to provide the shortest-possible signal paths, thus realizing true club sound with power to spare.

2) Ergonomic, user-customizable cross fader

1Cross-fader “feeling” adjustment: the specific physical sensation of cross fader operation is all-important to the DJ; the “feeling” adjustment provided in this mixer is an industry first, allowing the user to adjust the physical sensation of the slider to personal preferences, for the

smoothest possible cross fader operation.

2Independent cross fader lag cut: the mechanical play (the lag distance before sound begins) at each end of the cross fader slider can be adjusted using the fader lag cut function, thus allowing adjustment of the sound cut when

performing scratch play.

3Independent cross fader curve: an industry first, the right-left independently adjustable (33 steps) cross fader curve control goes beyond the symmetrical type of cross fader curve on conventional mixers, thus broadening DJ performance capabilities.

4“Contactless fader” mechanism: based on Pioneer’s own proprietary technology, this new contactless optical fader assures durable and stable operation under the severest of DJ performance conditions.

3) Other features

1When connected via a control cord to a Pioneer DJ CD player (sold separately), operation of the fader can be used

for automatic “fader start” play.

2“Fader reverse” function allows reversing of the directions of fader operation movement.

3Delicate 33-step channel fader curve settings.

4Can be connected in series to other mixers for “session” output of mixed sounds.
