Hi JVAZ818,

Are you able to let me know how you have everything connected? Do you have your SL 1 outputs connected to line level inputs on your mixer? Also are your transform switches set to line? Ignore the THRU outputs for now.

If you're hearing the high pitched tone (that's the control signal on the vinyl), then you are listening to the THRU outputs on the SL1 box. Your music goes out the LINE outputs on the SL1, so check your mixer/cabling setting.

To Samuel S: Yes I have my SL 1 outputs connected to line level inputs and the transform switches are set to line.

To Konix: So you're saying that I need to switch to the line output?

Konix Im pretty sure that my cables are connected correctly, I have disconnected and reconnected at least 5 times already...

The LINE output on your SL1 box should go to the LINE input on your mixer.

The LINE output on your SL1 box should go to the LINE input on your mixer.

Yea its in place.

can you take a picture of the setup?

Do you want a pic of just the mixer and SL1 or of my entire set up?

if you could take a clear picture of your turntables connecting to your SL1 and SL1 to mixer that would be great

Do you flip your CD / line/phono switches at the top of the mixer to the correct inputs?

I have it switched to phono/line

Not sure if the pictures help... sorry for the quality

Sorry about wasting your time, for whatever reason I cannot see them :(

As for the switch, it is set to Line, correct?

Yes on the back its set to line.

How about ontop? Are those metal switch things both set to LINE?

Yup

What is plugged into your THRU connections on your SL1?

The phono/line is

can you put the picture you took onto imageshack.us or something?

I dont have an account... I guess i can make one

you dont need one

o ok... hold on.

Please remove all the cables from your SL1 box and mixer and do the following:
Connect 1 RCA cable (red and white) from LEFT DECK LINE on the SL1 to the CD connection for CHANNEL 1 on your mixer.
Then connect a 2nd RCA cable from RIGHT DECK LINE on the SL1 to the CD connection for CHANNEL 2 on your mixer.

Switch the switches on top to CD. Turn your gains to 12 oclock. Try to play a song from Serato. What do you hear?

DJ Stoyvo, can you come back here tommorow and keep helping me out? I appreciate your help so far but I'm not home now and it'll be late when I come back. I try what you just told me tomorrow and post it here.

So I did exactly what you said and I STILL get that damn control signal. Now what?

I don't understand how you're getting the control signal. It just doesn't seem right :S

make sure your turntables are plugged into the SL box and the LINE from SL box to the mixer is right. Double check to make sure it's not on THRU

ok will do... hold on

no luck. hold on im going to try to take and post pictures of every single cable and post it... it might take me a little while

almost done...

my phone isnt letting me upload my pics... Which way is it supposed to go? the manual says phono/line for channel 1 and 2 but your telling me to connect them to CD. I've tried both but its not working. I'll retry it again

Disconnect every audio cable you have connected to your SL box and your Mixer, then follow these steps:
1. Plug your LEFT turntable into LEFT INPUT on your Serato Box (the SL1).
2. Plug your RIGHT turntable into RIGHT INPUT on your serato box (the SL1).
3. Plug an cable from your OUTPUT LEFT DECK LINE to CHANNEL 1 CD on your mixer.
4. Plug an cable from your OUTPUT RIGHT DECK LINE to CHANNEL 2 CD on your mixer.

See if audio plays. Only 4 audio cables should be plugged in at the moment. (except for your speaker out on the mixer)

Yes IT Works!!!!

But why? Why did it start now?

You probably had a turntable plugged into your mixer or you had a cable connected to THRU instead of LINE on the SL1 box.

THRU means you can play a normal record on the turntable and listen to it using that output. Since the timecode vinyl is only a highpitched signal, you were hearing that.

I'd advise you to take notes on your current working setup so that you dont get confused in the future :P

Hey JVAZ818,

Glad to see your up and running. Let me know if you run into any more issues.

Thread closed :)

Sam.

Hold on tho... my right table cant get a signal, is that because I have a bad needle or what could that be?

Switch the needle from your left turntable to your right one and check it out

yea i did that so my right table is the good one and my left doesnt play. Does it matter what kind of needles I get? are all needles universal? The ones I have are the M44-7's which I hear are the best for scratching.

M44-7's are pretty good. It sounds like your needle is messed up. Try switching the stylis, if that doesnt work then there's a problem with the headshell

ok but can i get any stylus/headshell for technics if i have to? or are those technics parts only?

Headshells just screw onto technics. the m44-7s just screw on. The stylis is just the actual needle part, it comes right out. You can swap them. Headshells usually run for $150 up here in TORONTO, but just the actual needle is only 40 bucks tops

OK cool... Hey man I really appreciate all the help. You saved my so far week long dj career. Thanks alot for taking the time to help me out.

no probs. Good luck!
