Features and controls
*
FADER START connectors
Connect devices supporting the fader start operation to
these mini-jacks.
You can enable the cross-fader start function
independently for the A and B outputs.
Move the cross-fader to start and/or stop (back cue) the
PGM A or B source automatically.
NOTE
The fader start signal is output from the tip, and the
fader stop (back cue) signal is output from the
sleeve. The ground for these connections is
provided by the signal ground of the device to
which the fader start is made.
(
LINE inputs
Use these unbalanced RCA jacks to connect line level
equipment, such as CD players, cassette decks, MD
decks, etc.
)
PHONO/LINE inputs
When the appropriate PUSH PHONO switch is in the
PHONO position (pushed in), connect turntables
equipped with MM (moving magnet) cartridges to these
unbalanced RCA jacks. When the switch is in the LINE
position (out) connect line level equipment, such as CD
players, cassette decks, MD decks, etc.
Always use the supplied shorting RCA plugs in any
PHONO jacks where a turntable is not connected.
WARNING
When the PUSH PHONO switch is set to PHONO,
only connect turntables equipped with an MM
cartridge to these connectors. Do not connect such
turntables to any other connectors.
Q
SIGNAL GND terminals
If the turntables you use are fitted with grounding wires,
connect them to these GND terminals to reduce noise and
hum.
W
PUSH PHONO switches
Push this switch in to use the odd-numbered (1, 3, 5 and
7) LINE/PHONO inputs with turntables. Leave it out to
use these inputs with other equipment (CD players, MD
decks, etc.).
WARNING
Turn the power OFF on all amplifier systems, etc.
when using these switches. When these switches
are pressed, loud noises are produced that may
damage hearing and equipment.
E
MAIN MIC SEND/RETURN
Use this TRS 1/4" jack (unbalanced) to inserts an external
effect in the MAIN MIC signal path.
The connections are follows:
GND: Sleeve
SEND: Tip
RETURN: Ring
R
AUX MIC input
Connect an auxiliary microphone to this balanced TRS
connector, wired as follows:
GND: Sleeve
HOT: Tip
COLD: Ring
T
MAIN MIC input
Connect the microphone to this balanced XLR connector,
wired as follows:
GND: Pin 1
HOT: Pin 2
COLD: Pin 3
NOTE
There is another MAIN MIC input connector on the
top panel. Only use either the connector on the rear
panel or the top panel (you cannot use both at the
same time).

Sampler

The X-17 includes three samplers, each of which can
record 30 seconds of sample data at 16-bit resolution.
These samples can be stored on and loaded from a CF
card (card formats other than CompactFlash do not work
with the X-17) of at least 16MB capacity.
NOTE
The X-17 uses TASCAM's own sample data format.
You can only use an X-17 to load and save sample
data.
Sampling
You can record samples from PGMs 1 through 4 or from
the MIC signals. When making a sample, the sampling
point is at the pre-fader point of PGMs 1 through 4.
1. Use the SAMPLER SOURCE selector to select the
sampling source (PGM 1-4 or MIC).
2. To start sampling, press an unlit IN key (IN1, IN2 or
IN3). The unlit key shows that the sampler is empty.
Sampling starts, the IN key lights, and the OUT key
starts to flash.
