Middle Panel
Descriptions and Functions
1. VIDEO SELECT toggle - Holding this switch in
the CROSSFADER position for a second toggles vid-
eo selection options between either CROSSFADER
activation and MANUAL.
When in CROSSFADER mode, the LED above
SOURCE toggle will illuminate blue. This indicates
that video ouput signal is recieved from the two
assigned sources in the crossfader ASSIGN selec-
tions. You can alternate between any two of the
three source inputs by pushing the crossfader ei-
ther to the far left or far right. As you shift the
crossfader in either direction, you will see the
respective VIDEO 1, 2, or 3 LEDs above the
SOURCE toggles illuminate.
In MANUAL mode, the CROSSFADER VIDEO
TOGGLE LED is not illuminated, indicating that you
can manually shift between the VIDEO LEDs by sim-
ply pushing the VIDEO SELECT toggle in the MAN-
UAL postion repeatedly to cycle through VIDEO 1
(red LED), 2 (green LED) and 3 (yellow LED).
2. STEREO CHANNEL SOURCE toggle - This
switch will toggle between AV, PHONO/LINE and
CD sources connected to that channel. As stated
above, if you have both a CD+G player and a turn-
table connected to the same channel, only that
device to which this SOURCE TOGGLE is selected
would be audible. Applicable graphics/video sig-
nals are output accordingly.
3. SIGNAL light - This light illuminates blue when a
signal is recieved to STEREO CHANNEL 1, 2 or 3.
4. GAIN - This knob controls the input level from
that channel's selected source. To increase the
GAIN, turn clockwise. Note: Adjusting this knob is
not synonymous to adjusting the channel fader. The
gain knob adjusts the input level from the source,
while the channel fader adjusts the output level
from the source. For best audio results, adjust
GAIN until just before distortion is noticeable.
5. VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX FUNCTION &
VOCAL ELMINATOR
VOCAL PARTNER/MULTIPLEX - This feature can
alternately remove and activate "guide" or "lead" vocals
with compatible Multiplex media. On this type of media,
music and lead vocals are panned hard left and right.
With the first press of this button, the red MULTIPLEX
LED is lit, indicating that lead vocals have been re-
moved, a feature also known as VOCAL CANCEL. The
channel with music only is duplicated so it is heard in
both left and right channels. Some backing vocals will
remain if there is overlap in the way they are recorded.
Pressed two more times, this button will illuminate the
yellow LED to indicate VOCAL PARTNER and guide vo-
cals will be activated.
VOCAL ELIMINATOR - Press the button until the cen-
ter, green LED illuminates. With standard recordings,
you will be able to partially remove lead vocals to turn
any recording into a Karaoke performance or for remix-
ing possibilities. To return to regular disc playback,
press this button until all three LEDs are unlit.
6. DIGITAL KEY CONTROL - Key Control allows you to
modify the original key of a track without changing its
tempo to match the natural range of your voice. You
can raise or lower your source music a total of 11
steps, or half note increments from its "natural" key.
To step DOWN or "flat (b)" the key, press the left but-
ton. To step UP or "sharp (#)" the key, press the right
button. To revert back to the original/natural key press
the middle NORMAL button. Note: Key changes are only
cueable when Master cueing.
7. CHANNEL FADER - Each fader raises and lowers
the volume of the corresponding STEREO 1, 2 or 3
channel as it is moved up or down.
8. CUE - This monitors the input signal from the mix
board to the headphones. Press CUE to hear that chan-
nel through the headphones. Note: If you cue more than
one channel, those channels will be audible as well.
