the DISPLAY (27) button.  
NOTE: When the DISPLAY (27) is in the channel 2/channel  
3 display mode, by adjusting the individual channel gain  
and tone controls, you can increase or decrease the  
signal to match the other channel’s signal. The channel  
slides and crossfader have no effect on the display  
readings.  
10. The CROSSFADER CURVE SWITCH (31) allows you to adjust the  
kind of curve the crossfader has. Move switch to the “sharp” position  
to make the curve steep and cutting (perfect for scratching ). Move  
switch to the “gradual” position to make the curve gradual and gentle.  
The CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (32) allows you to reverse the  
crossfader so that CHANNEL 3 is controlled by the left side of the  
crossfader and CHANNEL 2 is controlled by the right side of the  
crossfader.
