User manual TASCAM X-17

[. . . ] The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse cover. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort). The control for each band can cut the band by up to 26 dB and boost it by up to 12 dB. If all EQ controls on a PGM are set to ­26dB, this will almost completely cut the signal of the PGM. Each PGM can select from either a LINE input or a PHONO/LINE input (the selection between phono and line is made on the rear panel). W PGM faders Adjust the level of the PGMs e FADER START switches Set the automatic start of A and B using the cross-fader on or off. r Cross-fader ASSIGN selectors Select the signal sources assigned to the A and B crossfader outputs. Each of the four PGMs can be selected as a signal source, and there is also a THRU setting, which means that no PGM is assigned to the cross-fader on that side. Use the PGM and MASTER faders to adjust the output if this setting is made. T Cross-fader Mixes between the A and B outs, assigned from the PGM signals. The cross-fader can be reversed, and you can set the cross-fader curve to match your preferences (see below). It is possible for you to replace the cross-fader if this becomes necessary (see below for details). When the MAIN MIC and/or AUX MIC input signal cause an overload, this indicator lights (post-insert, but pre-EQ). Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort). 2-band EQ (HI and LO, both cutting and boosting by 12 dB) affecting both the the MAIN MIC and AUX MIC input signals. Allows you to adjust the cross-fader response curve from soft (counter-clockwise) to hard (clockwise). When this switch is in the PRE setting (the switch is depressed): The four PGM signals and the sampler signal, without the master insert loop. In the POST setting: The four PGM signals and the sampler signal, with the master insert loop, the AUX IN signal, and both the MAIN and AUX MIC signals. When in the OFF, position, moving the cross-fader toward A increases the volume of the A signal and moving the cross-fader toward B increases the volume of the B signal. This pair of peak meters indicates either the post-fader (PGM or MASTER) MASTER signal level in stereo, or the mono CUE signal levels. This slot holds a CompactFlash card which you can use to save sampled sounds from the X-17's internal memory, and to load them into the X-17's internal memory. This allows you to carry your favorite samples in a compact, robust format. Cover this slot using the attached protective cover when it is not in use. [. . . ] After the load operation is finished, the IN keys corresponding to the loaded samples will light. When it is lit, pressing one of the IN keys starts looped playback, and the appropriate PLAY indicator lights. When the LOOP key is lit, and looped playback is going on, you can press LOOP to turn off the key and stop the looping. Playback stops at the end of the sample (or when you press the OUT key).
