CONNECTING SPEAKERS The DJ Console can be used in two different ways: in 5. 1 mode and in DJ mode. 5. 1 mode (the default mode) transforms the DJ Console into a 5. 1-channel sound card, perfect for games and DVDs, while DJ mode allows you to use the DJ Console as a real mixing deck. Two types of connectors are available for connecting speakers: RCA and minijack. An RCA plug corresponds to a channel, while a minijack plug corresponds to an output (composed of two channels), which is why there are 6 RCA plugs and only 3 minijack plugs. Select the type of plug according to the type of speakers you will be connecting (RCA and minijack plugs corresponding to the same output cannot be used simultaneously). 5. 1. Connecting speakers in 5. 1 mode - Make sure that your computer is switched off. - Connect the front speakers to the 1 and 2 RCA plugs (plug 1 corresponds to the front left speaker, plug 2 to the front right speaker) or to the Front 1-2 minijack plug. - Connect the center speaker to the 3 RCA plug and the subwoofer to the 4 RCA plug, or connect the center speaker/subwoofer pair to the Center/LFE 3-4 minijack plug. - Connect the rear speakers to the 5 and 6 RCA plugs (plug 5 corresponds to the rear left speaker, plug 6 to the rear right speaker) or to the Rear 5-6 minijack plug. Connecting speakers in DJ mode - Make sure that your computer is switched off. You must first use the CUE button to set the cue points, which will allow you to define the beginning of an interesting rhythm section, for example, and start playing back the piece at that spot. Using this same marker principle you can also create loops, which are sections of a piece repeated to infinity. Note: the functions of controls may vary according to the application you are using. 10/14 ­ User Manual 6. 5. Switching from one piece to another The art of mixing consists of preparing the next piece while a given piece is being played. When the piece being played reaches its end, the DJ switches from one piece to the other progressively using the crossfader, which regulates the volume of the two decks. ENGLISH ESPAÑOL User Manual ­ 11/14 ITALIANO NEDERLAND DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS Example: a piece is being played on the left-hand deck, so the crossfader is therefore pushed completely to the left. To switch to the next piece, the DJ moves the crossfader to the right at the same moment he starts up playback on the right-hand deck. Naturally, there are many ways to switch from one piece to another: you can move the crossfader slowly, create back-and-forth effects, etc. The transition between two pieces should be perfect thanks to the pitch synchronization carried out previously. Should you notice a slight discrepancy, however, use the Pitch bend - / + buttons. These buttons are the equivalents of the DJ giving a little push to the vinyl on his turntable, or slowing down the deck with his hand.
