Cascading

When two units are cascaded, the master unit can use
up to four slave drives of the slave unit.

1

With the two power switches on each unit
turned OFF, use the supplied cascade cable
to link the two units.

2

Set the switch on the rear of one unit to

MASTER

, and on the other to

SLAVE

. Note

that if you set both to

MASTER

or both to

SLAVE

, neither unit will work properly.

3

Turn on the rear power switches and then
turn on the front power switches (always
turning on the slave first).

The slave unit shows

Slave Mode

on the

display.

The slave front panel controls and display are dis-
abled, except for the drive eject keys, headphone
jacks and volume controls (which can be used at the
appropriate points in the different procedures).

When the cascade master is cycling through the slave
drives, it uses eight drives instead of four (slave drive
1 on the slave unit becomes drive 5, etc.).

All other operations are carried out as usual.

NOTE

If you turn off the

SLAVE

unit when two units are con-

nected in cascade mode, the

MASTER

unit cannot be

used.
