Refer to the Connection Diagram below.
1. Make certain AC power is off while making
connections.
2. Quality cables make a big difference in fidelity
and punch. Use high-quality, audio cables.
3. Do not use excessively long cables.

fastened. Loose connections cause hum,
noise, or intermittence that could damage your
speakers.

any effects into the stereo Effect, if used.

headphones. Make sure all faders are at “zero”
and the unit is off. Take care to connect only
one cable at a time. pay attention to L and R
position of terminals, on both the DN-X1700 and
outboard gear.
5. Connect the stereo outputs to the power
amplifier(s) and/or tape deck(s) and/or Solid
State recorder(s) and/or CD recorder(s).
NOTE
• Always switch on your audio input sources such
as CD players first, then your mixer, and finally
any amplifiers.
• When turning off, always reverse this operation
by turning off amplifiers, then your mixer, and
then input units.
