    uneven  surfaces  may cause  the product  and cart
    combination to overturn .

    provided  for ventilation  and to ensure  reliable
    operation  of the  product  and to protect  it from
    overheating,  and these  openings  must not be
    blocked  or covered.  The openings  should never be
    blocked  by placing  the product  on a bed,  sofa,  rug,
    or  other  similar  surface.  This product  should not be

    stable location.
    NONUSE  PERIODS –  The  power  cord of the  appliance
    should 
    be  unplugged  from the outlet  when left un-
    used for a long period of time. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
    •
    If this  product  is equipped  with a polarized  alternating
    current  line plug  (a plug  having  one blade  wider than
    the  other),  it will  fit into  the outlet  only one way.  This
    is  a safety  feature.  If you  are unable  to insert  the plug
    fully  into the outlet,  try reversing  the plug.  If the  plug
    should  still fail to fit,  contact  your electrician  to
    replace  your obsolete  outlet. Do not  defeat  the
    safety purpose of the polarized plug.
    • If this  product  is equipped  with a three-wire
    grounding  type plug,  a plug  having  a third  (grounding)
    pin,  it will  only  fit into  a grounding  type power  outlet.
    This  is a safety  feature.  If you  are unable  to insert  the
    plug  into the outlet,  contact  your electrician  to
    replace  your obsolete  outlet. Do not  defeat  the
    safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
    POWER-CORD  PROTECTION - Power-supply  cords
    should  be routed  so that  they  are not likely  to be
    walked  on or pinched  by items  placed  upon or
    against  them, paying  particular  attention to cords  at
    plugs,  convenience  receptacles, and the point  where
    they exit from the product .
    OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  — If an outside
    antenna  or cable  system  is connected  to the  product ,
    be  sure  the antenna  or cable  system  is grounded  so
    as  to provide  some protection  against voltage surges
    and  built-up  static charges.  Article 810 of the  National
    Electrical  Code, ANSI/NFPA  70, provides  informatio n
    with  regard  to proper  grounding  of the  mast  and
    supporting  structure, grounding  of the  lead-in  wire
    to  an  antenna  discharge  unit, size of grounding
    conductors,  location of antenna-discharge  unit,
    connection  t o grounding  electrodes,  and
    r equirements  for the  grounding  electrode. See  Figur e
    A.
    LIGHTNING  — For  added  protection  for this  product
    during  a lightning  storm, or when  it is  left  unattended
    and  unused  for long  periods  of time,  unplug  it from
    the  wall  outlet  and disconnect  the antenna  or cabl e
    system.  This will prevent  damage  to the  product
    due to lightning and power-line surges.
    POWER  LINES — An  outside  antenna  system should
    not  be located  in the  vicinity  of overhead  power lines
    or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
    can  fall into  such  power  lines or circuits.  When
    installing  an outside  antenna  system, extreme  care
    should  be taken  to keep  from touching  such power
    lines  or circuits  as contact  with them  might  be fatal.
    O VERLOADING  — Do  not  overload  wall outlets ,
    extension  cords, or 
    integral  convenience  receptacles
    as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. OBJECT 
    AND LIQUID  ENTRY - N ever  push  objects  of
    any  kind  into this product  through  openings  as they
    may  touch  dangerous  voltage points or short-out
    parts  that could  result  in a fire  or electric  shock.
    Never spill liquid of any kind on the product .
    SERVICING  — Do  not  attempt  to service  this product
    yourself  as opening  or removing  covers may expose
    you  to dangerous  voltage or other  hazards.  Refer all
    servicing to qualified service personnel .
    DAMAGE  REQUIRING  SERVICE  -  Unplug  this product
    from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualifie d
    service personnel under the following conditions:
    •W hen the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
    • If liquid  has been  spilled,  or objects  have fallen  into
    the product .
    • If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
    • If the  product  does not operate  normally  by following
    the  operating  instructions.  Adjust only those  controls
    that  are covered  by the  operating  instructions  as an
    improper  adjustment  of other  controls  may result  in
    damage and will often require extensive work by  a
    qualified  technician  to restore  the product  to its
    normal operation.
    • If the  product  has been  dropped  or damaged  in any
    way.
    •W hen the product  exhibits  a distinct  change  in
    performance — this indicates a need for service.
    REPLACEMENT  PARTS -- W hen  replacement  parts
    are  required,  be sure  the service  technician  has used
    replacement  parts specified  by the  manufacturer  or
    have  the same  characteristics  as the  original  part.
    Unauthorized  substitutions may result  in fire,  electri c
    shock, or other hazards.
    SAFETY  CHECK - U pon  completion  of any  service  or
    repairs  to this  product,  ask the service  technician  to
    perform  safety checks  to determine  that the product
    is in proper operating condition.
    WALL  OR CEILING  MOUNTING  — The  product  should
    not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

     INTRODUCTION
     UNPACKING
    Every Encore 1000 System has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating 
    condition. Carefully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during shipping. 
    If the carton appears to be damaged, carefully inspect your system for any damage and be sure all 
    equipment necessary to operate the system has arrived intact. In the event damage has been found or 
    parts are missing, please contact our toll free customer support number for further instructions. Please 
    do not return the system to your dealer without first contacting customer support.
    Please be sure to make any connections before plugging the system in to an electrical outlet. All 
    fader and volume controls should be set to zero or minimum position, before the system is switched 
    on.  If  the  system  has  been  exposed  to  drastic  temperature  fluctuation  (e.g.  after  transportation),  do 
    not switch on the system immediately. The arising condensation of water might damage your device. 
    Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
    Operating Determinations:
    • When installing this system, please make sure that the device is not exposed or will not be     
     exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust!
    • Do not operate the system in extremely hot (more than 30°/86°F) or extremely cold (less than    
     5°C/40°F) surroundings. 
    • Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
    • Operate the system only after becoming familiar with its' functions. Do not permit operation by    
     persons not qualified for operating the unit. Most damages are the result of unprofessional opera-

    (a)  FADER “Q” START CONTROL: Set up your Encore 1000 as described in the set-up section of this manual. After  
      set up is completed load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause 
      each players playback functions. For Example, when using the Encore 1000 player, if your mixer’s crossfader is all  
      the  way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20%   
      to the right, player two (2) will begin to play. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left,  
      player one (1) will begin to play. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue  
      points on each side of the CD player, different songs may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back   
      and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Encore 1000 player (see setting cue points page 20). “Q”  
      Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. 
    (b)  RELAY (FLIP-FLOP): Connect your Encore 1000 player as described in the set-up section of this manual. This 
      feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For exampl\
    e, if player one (1) is playing a disc and  
      it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set RELAY to play track to track or disc to disc. For 
      more information on this feature, see RELAY on page 25.
    (c) SLEEP MODE: The Encore 1000's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after the desird set time of inactiv- 
      ity (when in pause or cue mode) is reached. This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the

    +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (16). 
    6. PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON - This button is used to switch the pitch function on and off. When the 
    button LED is lit the PITCH SLIDER (5) is active. When the button LED is not lit, the PITCH SLIDER 
    (5) is not active. The pitch percentage can be changed between 4%, 8%, 16%, 100%. 4% pitch per-
    centage  can  be  changed  between  4%, will  allow  the  least  amount  of  pitch  manipulation  and  100%

    CDs only, not Mp3 CDs.
    NOTE: Pressing this button and turning the JOG WHEEL (9) allows you to view the File Name, Title, 
    Artist, & Genre.
    7. PITCH PERCENTAGE SELECTOR -  Press  this  button  to  select  pitch  range  percentages  of  4%, 
    8%,  16%,  &  100%.  See  adjusting  the  PITCH  SLIDER'S  RANGE  on  page  24. Note: 100% Pitch 
    Adjustment works with regular CDs only, not Mp3 CDs.
    8.  (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the

    your finger from this button, the BPM’s will automatically return to PITCH SLIDERS (5) selected pitch. 
    Holding down this button will give a maximum of +100% pitch. Note: 100% Pitch Adjustment works

    pitch value. Holding down this button will give a maximum of -100% pitch. Use this function to slow 
    to another playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is a momentary pitch adjustment, 
    for  a  more  precise  adjustment  use  the PITCH SLIDER (5) to match the BPM’s with another playing 
    music source. Note: 100% Pitch Adjustment works with regular CDs only, not Mp3 CDs.

    A. The jog wheel will act as a frame search control when the CD is in pause or cue mode, allowing  
      you to set a cue point. 
    B. The wheel also works as a pitch bend during Playback. Turning the wheel clockwise will in-
      crease the pitch percentage up to 100%, and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise direc- 
      tion will decrease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend will be determined on  
      how long you turn the jog wheel continuously.
