ChANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its
particular player.
6. navIgaTIon BUTTonS - These buttons allow easy navigation of your music library on your soft-
ware.
7. MaSTER voLUME, BaLancE, & BooTH conTRoLS
MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This knob is used to control the master output level. To avoid dis-
torted output try to maintain an average output signal level no greater than +4dB. To avoid speaker
damage that may be caused by excessive volume, be sure this knob is always set to zero (completely
down) before turning the unit on.
MaSTER oUTPUT BaLancE conTRoL - This knob is used to control the pan, adjust how much
of the signal is sent to the left and right output level. For true stereo imaging, maintain the knob in the
12 o’ clock position.
BooTH LEvEL - This knob is used to adjusts the monitor volume output level. Turn the knob in a
clockwise direction to increase the monitor volume.
8. cHannEL voLUME LEvEL InDIcaToRS - The LED indicators that run along each channels
EQ section are used to measure incoming signal levels. Use these indicator to visually maintain an
average signal output of +4dB. A consistent average output level of +4dB will produce a clean output
signal. When no CUE sources are selected, these indicate the volume level on the MASTER OUTPUT.
When one or more CUE sources are selected, these indicate the volume level on all of the CUE
sources combined. At power-on, these indicate the VMS5.0 firmware version. If the left side lights up
1 LED, and the right side lights up 3 LEDs, the firmare version is 1.3.
9. CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels A and B together. When
the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be controlled by the
master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B. Sliding the fader from one posi-
tion to another will vary the output signals of channels A and B respectively. When the crossfader is
set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels A and channels B will be even.
10. ChANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned
to its particular player.
11. CUE - These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode. The CUE LED will glow when
a channels cue mode is activated. The Cue function sends a channels incoming signal to the head-
phones. The cue level is adjusted by the cue level knob.
NOTE: The
MIDILOG cue button has a additional function. During power-on, hold this button down to toggle
the post EQ mode on and off. For more on this please refer to the Virtual DJ Setup near the end of this manual.
12. SEaRcH BUTTonS -
This search button allows you to quickly scan backwards through a track.
This search button allows you to quickly scan forwards through a track.
13. DEck aSSIgnMEnT BUTTonS - This button lets you change between Deck 1 and Deck 3. On
the right side the button lets you switch between Deck 2 and Deck 4.
14. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during playback immediately pauses playback and returns the
track to the last set cue point. The red CUE LED will glow when the unit is in cue mode. The LED will
also flash every time a new CUE POINT is set. The CUE button can be held down to momentarily
play the track. When you release the CUE button it instantly returns to the CUE POINT. You can also
