Playing back songs from an iPod/iPhone
Connecting your iPod or iPhone to the unit lets you play back the
song.
NOTE
You cannot make recordings to an iPod or iPhone.
1. Use a USB cable to connect your iPod (or
iPhone) to the iPod/iPhone IN connector.
When the iPod or iPhone is connected to and recognized by
the unit, the iPod indicator lights.
2. Specify the output assignment for playback.
To output to the STEREO bus
Set the TO STEREO/TO MONITOR switch in the iPod IN
section to “TO STEREO” ( ).
To output to MONITOR OUT
Set the TO STEREO/TO MONITOR switch in the iPod IN
section to “TO MONITOR” ( ).
To output to channels 31/32 {23/24}
Set the input select switch for channels 31/32 {23/24} to
“iPod IN” ( ).
NOTE
Do not use both the STEREO/MONITOR level control (USB IN
knob) and the level control for channels 31/32 {23/24} at the
same time. Raising both may cause unnatural flanging in the
sound.
3. Operate the iPod (or iPhone) to play back the
desired song.
4. Adjust the volume of the song.
When outputting to the STEREO bus or to
MONITOR OUT
Rotate the iPod IN knob to adjust the volume.
When outputting to channels 31/32 {23/24}
Use the channel fader to adjust the volume.
NOTE
Avoid adjusting both outputs at the same time because of the
delay of the signal path.
5. Operate the iPod (or iPhone) to stop the song.
Playback stops.
Specifying the recording/playback settings
1. Press the USB button below the display
repeatedly if necessary until the (3/3) PARAM-
ETER page appears.
2. Rotate Knob 1 to select the desired parameter,
and then rotate Knob 2 to set the parameter
value.
Each parameter lets you make the following settings.
NOTE
Since high transmission speed is required for recording in WAV for-
mat, recording songs to USB flash drives may not be possible. We
recommend using HDD (hard disc drive) or SSD (solid-state drive)
when recording songs.
If you use a USB flash drive for recording songs, MP3 recording
formats such as MP3:128k, MP3:192k, MP3:256k, and MP3:320k
are recommended.
