off.
6. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH - This is a four position switch that assigns a channel to the CROSS-
FADER (9). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (9) that channels output
level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (9). Sliding the CROSSFADER (9) to left posi-
tion will send full the assigned channels volume output to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (26) and slid-
ing the CROSSFADER (9) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME LEVEL
(26). The reverse is true for the right channel fader assign switch. When ASSIGN SWITCH (5) is set to
the "OFF" position the crossfader will have no function.

START SWITCH activates the FADER “Q" START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q"
START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT.

compatible dual CD player connected to channels one and two. When the Fader "Q" Start option
is turned on, sliding the crossfader to the far left position will trigger playback on CD player
1. When the crossfader is pushed to the far right position, playback on CD player 2 will
begin, and CD player 1 will return to the cue position. Refer to your American Audio CD
player user manual for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF
position to disengaged “Q” Start function and resume to a normal fader.
8. PFL (CUE SELECTOR) BUTTON - These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode. A
red LED next to the Cue button will glow when a channels cue mode is activated. The Cue function
sends a channels incoming signal to the headphones. The cue level is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL
KNOB (14). Be sure the CUE MIXING SLIDER (12) is set to the “CUE” position to hear a selected chan-
nel source.
9. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan-
nels one and two together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of
channel one will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for chan-
nel two. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one and
