SL3
Turntable Setup
1.
Set the tone arms to the specific recommendations of the cartridge used, so that the needle never
leaves the record, but not heavy enough that it heats up significantly. Both produce poor tracking.
2.
Grounding is extremely important when using Serato DJ. Make sure you have good connections from
the ground wires of your turntables to the grounding post of your SL3 or your mixer. If you don’t ground
your turntables properly, the control signal will be noisy and the record tracking position will be erratic.
3.
Ensure the SL3 is set to receive a Phono level signal –
See step 2 of Connecting the SL3.
CD Player Setup
1.
Disable all built-in effects on the CD player, including keylock/master tempo.
2.
Ensure the SL3 is set to receive a CD level signal –
See step 2 of Connecting the SL3.
Kensington Security Slot
You can use a Kensington security cable to attach the SL3 to an immovable object. Each side of
the SL3 has a Kensington Security Slot. Refer to the instructions provided with your Kensington
Lock.
Playing Regular Vinyl and CDs
NOTE: the SL3 must be powered by USB or the supplied external power supply for the DECK
THRUs to work.
If external power is connected, the SL3 is self-powered and power is not used from the USB port.
If external power is not connected, the SL3 draws power from the USB port. Power switching is
automatic and the device continues to operate uninterrupted as long as a power sources is available.
If you wish to use the SL3 Thru outputs when a computer is not connected, you will need to connect the
optional external power supply. Thrus are turned on and off in the Control Panel.
Power Supply
Connect the barrel connector of the power supply to the 7.5 VDC jack on the SL3. Plug the power supply
into an AC outlet. The yellow Power indicator will light on the SL3.
The universal power supply includes different input plugs for the USA, Europe, UK and Australia. The
USA plug is attached at the factory — you may need to replace it in your country.
To remove a plug, PUSH the button while turning the outer rim counterclockwise.
To attach a plug, rotate it to fit into the supply and turn clockwise until it locks in
place.
The power supply is regulated 7.5 volts DC, 1 amp, using a P6 type barrel plug.
