With a sophisticated layout, the X-17 combines easy operation with a wide range of functions. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual before connecting and using the mixer, in order get the best out of it. We recommend contacting our authorized Technical Service department, or that of your TASCAM dealer or distributor if any maintenance or repair work is necessary, so that you can continue to enjoy the best possible performance and operation. Some notes and precautions Treat the X-17 as you would any other piece of precision equipment. Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration. Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.). Environmental considerations The X-17 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions: The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing. As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above and around the unit for ventilation. Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, an amplifier for example, to avoid possible problems with overheating. Only use the AC adaptor provided with the X-17, and do not use the adaptor with any other equipment. Always make sure that the voltage supplied to the adaptor matches the input voltage as specified on the adaptor. In case of doubt, consult a qualified electrician. To avoid hum in the audio, make sure that the power cable is far away from the signal cables. NOTE When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials or a properly-designed equipment case. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the X-17, in case you need to transport it in the future. Connections to other equipment It is extremely important that the power is turned off on all units when making or breaking connections to or from the X-17. When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then the X17 and finish with the amplifier system. Turning power off should be done in the other direction (amplifiers first, then other equipment). If you have to turn off the X-17 and turn it on again, always wait for 3 or more seconds between turning the unit off and on again. Serial number, etc. The serial number of the X-17 is located on a sticker at the rear of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).
