In a mixed setup with one turntable and one CD player, simply connect them as explained
above. Remember to ensure that the LINE/PHONO switches are set accordingly, and mixer
channels' TRAKTOR buttons are bright orange—to indicate they are set to TRAKTOR mode.
If you have followed the information in this chapter and are still having difficulty getting
the timecode vinyl or CD to successfully calibrate your decks, you will find detailed infor-
mation on TRAKTOR SCRATCH and helpful troubleshooting information contained in the
TRAKTOR 2 Manual.
