Panasonic Audio Mixer Wr Xs3 Operating Instructions

							21
■Example 1: Home Party (Mode 1)
•Set the DIP switches to Mode 1. (Refer to p. 15.).
•Mic 1 to 4 (MONO IN 1 to 4), Key (ST IN 1), Bass AMP (ST IN 2) and DVD/CD/MD (ST IN 3 and 4) are mixed to be output to
the main speakers (ST OUT L/R). 
•The power amplifier adjusts the output level of sound sources you want to confirm. These are then output to the foldback
loudspeakers (SUB OUT). 
•Recording is available through REC OUT when connecting a tape recorder or MD recorder to ST IN 3 and 4.

•This connection raises the howling margin. BGM (ST IN) is output through ST OUT L/R to the main speakers.
Sounds from microphones (MONO IN 1 and 2) and wireless microphones (MONO IN 3 and 4) are output to ceiling speak-
ers (MONO OUT).
•Your presentation sources can be input from the front panels LINE IN to be mixed through an AV switcher (ST IN 1 to 4).

•The amplification system is composed of Shopping zones 1, 2 and Resting place (Zone 3).
•The cable broadcasting connects the MULTI IN ST jacks and output to the main speakers (SUB OUT) in the resting place.
Another BGM (CD or TAPE) connects ST IN 1 to 4 and output to the main speakers in Shopping zone 1 and 2 (ST OUT L
and MONO OUT).
•All-call amplification is also available in the resting place. Mic 1 or 2 (MONO IN 1 and 2) is output to the main speakers
(SUB OUT).

When you connect a cassette tape recorder or MD recorder to record the broadcasting, confirm the following:
■Notice about Recorder Connections
Howling can occur depending on the connection form or connected devices. Connect the recording devices either of the fol-
lowing ways:
●When Using a Recording-only and a
Playback-only Decks
The unit s REC OUT will be used for the recording output
line.
•Connect the units REC OUT with the recording decks
REC IN.
•Connect the unit s STEREO INPUT or MULTI INPUT ST
jacks with the playback decks stereo output connector.
●When Recording and Playing Back
with One Deck
The unit s SUB OUTPUT jack will be used for the recording
output line.
•Set the DIP switch of the assigned input line to ON. 
•Connect the unit s SUB OUTPUT and the recorders
recording output connector with a recommended type
of cable. (Refer to p. 13 for details on cable informa-
tion.)
•Connect the unit s STEREO INPUT, MULTI INPUT ST or
LINE IN jack(s) and the output connector of the play-
back  deck. 
Note:This connection implements monaural recording, as stereo input signals are mono mixed to be output through SUB
OUTPUT jack.
■Using a Recording-only and a Playback-only Decks
A recording-only and a playback-only decks are used.
1. Connect the playback-only deck to the STEREO INPUT 1 to 4 jacks or the MULTI INPUT ST jack.
2. Connect the recording-only deck to the REC OUT jack.

■Recording and Playback with One Deck
To record and play back a broadcast with one deck, connect the SUB OUTPUT jack  to cut the feedback.
Then set the DIP switch associated with the MULTI INPUT ST jacks to OFF.
Note: Use the cable shown in the figure to connect the unit SUB OUT and the decks REC OUT.
To output either mono or stereo signal through REC OUT
The stereo and mono recording input signals are usually mixed through the REC OUT jack.
The internal switch setting is necessary if you want to output either of them.
Refer to a service manual procurable in your area.

ATTACHING/DETACHING THE ACRYLIC COVER
The input levels need to be adjusted before using the unit.
After the adjustments, attaching the supplied acrylic cover
with mounting spacers and screws can prevent the wrong
operation of input levels. 
The acrylic cover protects the different range of input level
controls depending on the direction in which it is installed.
●The MULTI IN knob is adjustable.
●The MULTI IN knob is not adjustable.

■Basic Operation
This section describes basic operation. All setup items and connections must be completed in advance.
The switches located under the acrylic cover normally do not need to be accessed for operation. Access is required only to
the switches outside the acrylic cover.
Confirm that the connections of all the devices and all set modes and input/output levels are correct.
Note:Set the STEREO OUT, MONO OUT and SUB OUT knob to “0” before operation.
1. Press the power switch on the front.
This turns on the unit and the power indicator.
2. Speak into a microphone or play back an external device such as a CD player.
3. Increase the level of the STEREO OUT, MONO OUT or SUB OUT knob gradually from 0.
Sound comes from the speakers.
7 is the desired volume level.
4. Turn off the power amplifiers.
5. Press the power switch of the unit. The unit and the power indicator turn off.
6. Turn off the external devices.
Notes:
•In Mode 1 (refer to p. 21) or 2 (refer to p. 22), the volume of BGM is adjustable with the STEREO OUT knob, and that of
microphones is adjustable with the MONO OUT knob.
•In Mode 3 (refer to p. 23), the volume of Zone 1 is adjustable with the STEREO OUT knob, and that of Zone 2 is adjustable
with the MONO OUT knob.
•When one of the STEREO INPUT 1 to 4 jacks or MONO INPUT 1 to 4 connectors is assigned to the SUB OUTPUT jack, the
output level is adjustable with the SUB OUT knob.

■Input Level Adjustment
This section describes how to adjust input levels.
The figure describes an example. 
•Mode 1
•The microphone is connected to the MONO INPUT 1 connector and the CD player is connected to the STEREO INPUT 1
jack.
•The input signal of the MONO INPUT 1 connector and the STEREO INPUT 1 jack are mixed inside the unit, and amplified
through the STEREO OUTPUT jack.
Note:Detach the acrylic cover before the level adjustment. (Refer to p. 28 ATTACHING/DETACHING THE ACRYLIC COVER.)

setting.
Notes:
•Set the STEREO 1 knob to the level at which the input
peak indicator does not light up.
•Set the output level of the diversity wireless receiver to 
– 20 dB and that of the MONO 1 knob when using a
wireless microphone. 3 to 5 is the desired level.
•Adjust the attenuator level if the microphone sound vol-
ume is too low even when the MONO 1 knob is set to 10
or if it  is too high even when the MONO 1 knob is set to
1.
•The desired levels of the STEREO 1 knob are as fol-
lows.
CD/MD player: 5 to 7
Cassette player or cable broadcasting: 8 to 9
•The desired levels of the MONO 1 knob are as follows.
