When you connect the AC adapter and turn on the power to the X-34, it automatically engages "Track Down mode,"
and the Track Down indicator lights up as shown below.
Please refer to the following "Initial setup of the X-34" section to reset the X-34 before you proceed to the next session.
* For information on Track Down mode, refer to page 18.
These two indicators light up.

Initial setup of the X-34

In this manual, this state will be called the "initial setting." The control panel switches and knobs should be set as
shown below.
Always return to this "initial setting" before proceeding to the next recording session.
Set the TRIM knobs to
the " " position.
Set all EQ knobs to
center ("0").
Lower all MON MIX/AUX
knobs to "0".
