IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the system.
•
Never remove warning or informative labels from the unit.
•
Never leave any cables lying around.
•
Do not connect this system to a dimmerpack.
• Do not switch the system on and off in short intervals, as this would reduce the system’s life.
•
Do not open the device and do not modify the device.
•
Do not drive the inputs with a signal level bigger, than required to drive the equipment to full output.
• Only use system indoor, avoid contact with water or other liquids.
•
Avoid flames and do not put close to flammable liquids or gases.
•
Make sure you don’t use the wrong kind of cables or defective cables.
•
Extreme frequency boosts in connection with a high input signal level may lead to overdriving your equipment. Should this occur, it is necessary to reduce the input signal level by using the INPUT control.
•
To emphasize a frequency range, you don’t necessarily have to move its respective control upward; try lowering surrounding frequency ranges instead. This way, you avoid causing the next piece of equipment in your sound path to overdrive. You also preserve valuable dynamic reserve
(“headroom”)
• Avoid ground loops! Always be sure to connect the power amps and the mixing console to the same electrical circuit to ensure the same phase!
•
If system is dropped or struck, disconnect the power supply or USB cable immediately. Have a qualified engineer inspect for safety before operating.
•
If the system has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your system. Leave the system switched off until it has reached room temperature.
•
If your Dap Audio device fails to work properly, discontinue use immediately. Pack the unit securely
(preferably in the original packing material), and return it to your Dap Audio dealer for service.
•
Repairs, servicing and electric connection must be carried out by a qualified technician.
•
For replacement use fuses of same type and rating only.

In the Sound Setup tab you can optimize the soundcard settings. We suggest using the settings below which give you access to all outputs on your Kontrol D1. Other configurations can limit your outputs.
On the right side of the soundcard menu there are two drop down menus allowing you to choose between two soundcards.
In the presented example, the first two channels of the Kontrol D4i’s internal soundcard are routed to the master outputs and the remaining two channels are routed to the headphones output.
When setup correctly, press the Apply button and then press the OK button.
Make sure the Core Kontrol D1 is connected with your computer’s USB port and is switched on before setting up your soundcards, otherwise you won’t be able to access your Kontrol D4i’s built in soundcards.
For more possibilities, we suggest reading the Virtual DJ Quick guide. You can download the Virtual DJ
