* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other 

devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power 

on all devices before making any connections. 

* The pin assignment for the XLR type connectors is as shown 

below. Before making any connections, make sure that this pin 

assignment is compatible with that of all your other devices.

your various devices in the order specified. By turning on 
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction 
and/or damage to speakers and other devices.

- External Effects -> DB-900 -> others output eqipment

* Do not touch the cooling vents on the sides of the DB-900; they 

can become very hot during operation.

* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval 

(a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will 
operate normally.

* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before 

switching on/off power. Even with the volume all the way down, 
you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on/
off, but this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
