Precautions before making connections
0Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected and then connect them correctly.
0Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment to be connected off (standby).
0Install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they are powered from the same line. When using a power strip or similar device, be sure to
use one that has high current capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize fluctuations in power voltage.
0Before connecting audio equipment, set the following knobs and faders to their lowest values. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises from
monitoring equipment, and this could damage the equipment or harm hearing.
o GAIN knobs (channels 1-12, 13/14-19/20)
