The Outside World
Here are a couple of tips that get you started interfacing the DJX-IIB with external gear.
Go for it, and get your sound out there!

Expanding your DJ setup
The DJX-IIB can easily do double-duty as part of a larger DJ setup. For example, you can connect
the LINE OUT jacks to two of the inputs of a DJ mixer. Hook up a turntable to the other channels of
the DJ mixer, and you’ve got a full dance production setup to rival the pros! This way you can play
the DJX-IIB as well as your favorite vinyl tracks, and mix and switch them with the controls on the
DJ mixer.
Naturally, you can also hook your DJX-IIB up to an MD recorder or cassette deck and record your
DJ performances to disk or tape.

Mute the speakers
If you’re routing the DJX-IIB’s sound to a DJ mixer or external
amplifier/speaker system, you may want to cut off the sound of
the DJX-IIB’s built-in speakers. Easy! Simply insert a phone
plug into the PHONES jack — or hook up a set of stereo head-
phones for monitoring the DJX-IIB sound.
Naturally, even when the built-in speakers are muted in this
way, audio is still output through the LINE OUT jacks.
