Before using the D888 for the first time
Please observe the following points when using the D888.

Power on/standby/off

The D888 is a precision instrument, similar to a personal computer, equipped
with an internal hard disk drive. When turning the power on and off, follow the
procedures shown below to protect your D888, your data, and your other equip-
ment.
Before you turn on the power, make sure that the power cable is firmly plugged into the D888
and into an AC outlet.
● Power-on
1) Lower the D888's monitor LEVEL knob to the
"0" position. Set the volume controls of your external equip-
ment to their lowest position.
2) Turn on the power of external input devices such as key-
boards that are sending audio to the D888.
3) If the main power switch (POWER ON) located on the rear
panel of the D888 is off, turn it on.
The STANDBY LED will light. The D888 is now in the
"standby" mode.
A certain amount of time will be required from when you turn on the
main power until the STANDBY LED lights.
4) Press the power (ON) button located on the top panel to turn
the D888 on.
The opening screen will appear in the display, and then the
Level Meter screen will appear.
If the USB cable is connected to your computer when you turn on the
power, the USB screen will appear and the D888 will enter USB mode
(→p.42).
When you turn the power on, the selected song will be the
same song that had been selected when the D888 was shut
down.
5) Now you can turn on your monitoring system (or any other
external device) that is receiving audio from the D888 .
If the power is turned off accidentally while the D888 is being used, the D888
itself or its internal hard disk drive may be damaged.
