2 - Quick Guide
CAUTION
• Do not remove or insert an SD card when the power
is ON. Always turn the power off (put in standby)
before removing or inserting an SD card.
• When the power is ON, do not disconnect the power
cord or otherwise interrupt the power to the unit.
Doing so will cause all settings made since the last
time you saved to be lost. If the power is interrupted
while an SD card is being accessed, all recorded songs
and data on the card could be damaged beyond
recovery.
• Before turning the power ON, minimize the
headphones volume and the volume on any
monitoring system connected to this unit.
TIP
By connecting an amplifier or powered speakers to the
MONITOR OUT
jacks, you can monitor using speakers.
