OFF
position
prior to making any connections. Plug into the rear panel
POWER JACK
(2) before plugging it into a proper power
source.
NOTE: LOCATED BY THE POWER CORD (2) JACK IS A 250V FUSE
(42) TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL SURGES. TO REPLACE
THE FUSE, PLACE A FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER INTO THE
GROOVE LOCATED INSIDE THE POWER CORD JACK (2) AND POP
THE FUSE OUT. REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ONLY A 250V FUSE.
2. The
PMX-04
has
2
sets of outputs:
- The
MASTER OUTPUT
(4) jacks also connect to the
main amplifier with
RCA
cables.
- The
REC OUTPUT
(41) jacks can be used to connect
the mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus
enabling you to record your mix by connecting these units
with
RCA
cables.
3. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mount-
ed
HEADPHONES
(16) ¼" jack.
4. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mount-
ed

5. The
PMX-04
has
2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE
(7, 8)
RCA
inputs located on the back panel on either side of the
MASTER
(4)
RCA
input. Facing the back panel, the con-
vertible
RCA
Input on your right is for
PHONO 1/ LINE 1
(8). The convertible
RCA
input on your left is for
PHONO
2/ LINE 3
(7). Using the
PHONO/ LINE SWITCHES
(5, 6),
located just below each input, you may convert the
PHONO (PH)
to
LINE (LN)
and vice versa. Plug the
RCA
's from your playable medium into each input to be
connected to their respective channels (
CH
). The
PH
INPUTS
only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge.
The
STEREO LINE INPUTS
only accept line level inputs
such as a
CD
,
DAT
,
MINIDISC
, etc and require the prop-
er switch setting.
6. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the
RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the
GROUNDING SCREWS
(9) located in the back panel of
the
PMX-04
mixer. Attach each
PH
ground line to one of
the
DUAL GROUND THUMB SCREWS
(9). These are
adjacent to each
RCA PH
input.
NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND
MAY CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
