6.3 Set Mode Configurations

Details of each item of the Set mode menu are as follows.

(1)Attenuator function setting

Use this function when the receiving signal is interfered by
strong signals of nearby channels. When you activate this
function, the DJ-X7 attenuates the receiving sensitivity at about
20dB. Although the reception level of the target signal you wish
to listen to weakens, this means that unnecessary signals also
become difficult to be received. And as a consequence, it may
make the target signal distinctly audible.

1. Select the set menu No.1 by pressing the dial.

The following is displayed on the LCD.

2. Rotate the dial to switch ON/OFF of the function.

When you set it to ON, the

icon appears on the LCD.

This function is effective only for antennas installed to
the DJ-X7's antenna connector. Set it to OFF for normal
operations.

(2)Antenna Type Switching setting

The DJ-X7 can switch its antenna according to the frequency
bands you wish to listen to. The DJ-X7 provides you with the
