CONNECTIONS 7 Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. This precaution should also be taken when changing the IN & OUT LEVEL switch. ÷ When connections are made to the phone jack inputs and a monaural signal cord is connected to the L (MONO) terminal, inputs can be made to both the L and R channels. ÷ After all other connections are made, connect the power cord to a household wall outlet or to the auxiliary AC power takeoff on your amplifier. ÷ Make sure plugs are fully inserted into the jacks and wall outlet. 7 See page 18 for instructions on how to use the MIDI terminals. BASIC CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Do not make any connections that may create signal loops as this will cause circuit oscillations which could damage the speakers. Example of connections that must not be performed. ¶ Do not connect the output of the DJ Mixer to the input ter- minal of the Effector and the output of the Effector to the input terminal of the same mixer. ¶ Do not connect the SEND output of the DJM-500 to the input terminal of the Effector and the output of the Effector to the input terminal of the DJM-500 (except for the RETURN terminal). POWER-CORD CAUTION Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. 1. Connecting the SEND/RETURN Terminals on the DJ Mixer (on DJ mixer provided with SEND and RETURN terminals) ÷ Make connections using cables with 1/4-inch/6.3 mm in diameter phone plugs. ÷ Set the DJ mixer so that the SEND and RETURN terminals can be used. (Make sure that the EFFECT SELECTOR, CH SELECTOR and EFFECT ON/OFF on the DJM-500 are correctly set). ÷ Set the IN & OUT LEVEL switch on the Effector to the -10 dB position.
