[. . . ] Enter Setting mode by clicking the The rapidly flashing cursor will appear at the first position on the left (xlr). switch down twice so the flashing cursor appears above the "usb" Click the legend. 5) Click the right switch down towards "set" and the cursor will flash rapidly to indicate the usb input has been selected. 6) Click the switch down five times to position the flashing cursor above the pin 3 legend. [. . . ] This means that sample rate conversion will be introduced when ripping files that have a different original sample rate than the one that you 8 DJ-496 Operation choose as your "default. " Because the sample rate conversion does not happen in "real time, " a more accurate conversion is possible, so the final quality should be better than letting the computer automatically introduce sample rate conversion on playback. CONFIGURING THE XLR OUTPUTS: The unit is factory configured to operate in Balanced output mode. The balanced audio signal appears on Pin 2 and Pin 3 of the XLR outputs. The unit may be configured using the Setting mode to drive unbalanced inputs. The default setting for the invert function is "off, " which results in the signal Polarity of the XLR outputs being Pin 2 "+" and Pin 3 "­". This is also the correct setting for normal listening when using the XLR to RCA adapters included with the DJ-496. The included XLR to RCA adapters and many adapter cables are wired as "Pin 2 Hot unbalanced. " The XLR outputs are short-circuit protected, so operating the DJ-496 with the outputs configured incorrectly will not result in permanent damage. - If the outputs are configured for balanced operation and connected to unbalanced wiring, the reproduced audio will be significantly more distorted than with the proper configuration. - If the outputs are set for the unbalanced configuration opposite the correct one, there will be no audio reproduced. - The configuration of the XLR outputs has no affect on the headphone outputs. One way to confirm that the unbalanced setting is opposite the correct configuration is to check for the presence of audio in the headphones when there is no audio from the XLR outputs is. An example of incorrect setting with XLR to RCA adapters is if the outputs are configured for Pin 3 Hot instead of Pin 2 Hot. If other functions or inputs are enabled, the LED above their legend will be illuminated. - When the Setting mode is exited, the position of the cursor is retained, so upon re-entering Setting mode it will appear at the same position (function). The LED at the cursor position indicates the status of the function differently than other positions- At positions other than that of the cursor, if the LED is illuminated ("On"), the function is enabled ("On"). If the LED is "Off, " the function is "Off. " - At the cursor position, if the LED is flashing at a fast rate, the function is "On. " If the LED is flashing slowly, the function is "Off. " !!!Please note that in the following function descriptions, the distinction between whether the LED is at the cursor position or not is omitted for clarity. For example: if the LED is "On" it is either rapidly flashing at the cursor position or steadily illuminated at other positions. - For single functions such as output, invert, or dim; when the right SELECT switch is clicked down to the "set" position, the function toggles between On and Off with each click. 10 DJ-496 Operation - The input selection is "interlocked" electronically, so selecting a new input de-selects the previous one. For example, if the xlr input is selected, and you position the cursor above the usb legend and click "Set, " the usb input will be selected and the xlr input will be deselected. - The XLR output pin2/pin 3 selection for unbalanced operation is interlocked in a similar manner. xlr, opt, usb, rcaThe first four positions in the Setting mode display are the digital audio inputs of the DJ-496, and correspond to the connectors on the back panel. To listen to the desired input, enter the Setting switch once, and then click it either up or down to move the cursor to mode by clicking the the position above the legend for the desired input. [. . . ] See DISABLING SAFE MODE (below) to disable the "gating function. " - Pressing the "Mute" button also "opens the gate. " Once open, it is not necessary to press "0" to access the other remote functions until the LE symbol appears in the Volume display. For all of the following functions, it is assumed that the "gate is open" so the numerical setting is visible in the VOLUME display or that SAFE MODE has been disabled. 3. ) To raise or lower the volume setting, press the Volume Up or Volume Down button on the remote. Similar to the front panel "up/down" switch, a single press of the remote button will change the volume by one step, and holding the button will make the setting change continuously until the button is released or the end of the adjustment range has been reached.
