DJM-S5 - Constand Problems Working this Mixer.

I don't even know where to begin.  I'm an old school DJ with 1210s and always Numark mixers.  I don't do gigs anymore, just things for myself in the house.  I've been trying to just start with this mixer and it's one issue after another.  Yesterday I was able to play Seralto with the time coded records on both turntables.  I was only able to play vinyl with the right.  Today I disconnected it and figured out I needed to slide the switch in the back to Phone/Line.  I did this and now back to two vinyls, but now I don't have Seralto MP3s access.  What is wrong with this mixer or am I doing something incorrect?  Please I need someone to lend me a hand.  I have to DJ for an Air Force Retirement as a favor and even though I don't want to, I told the Col I would do the favor.  Please anyone I'm happy to even share my phone to make this easier.

You need to switch it back and forth whenever you want to use Serato DJ Pro and analog vinyl. So for Serato, put it on USB, for analog vinyl, put it on Phono/Line. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a channel routing issue. On the DJM-S5, the rear Phone/Line switch affects the input source for each channel. For Serato timecode vinyl, the switch needs to be set to Line (since the timecode signal comes through the phono preamp on the mixer). For regular vinyl, set it to Phone. You can't run both simultaneously on the same channel without flipping the switch each time.

If you want both timecode and regular vinyl available without swapping cables, consider using Channel 1 for Serato (Line) and Channel 2 for vinyl (Phone), or vice versa. Also check that Serato's "Use Aux" mode isn't interfering.

On a side note, since you're dealing with gear setup at home, I recently came across a solid reference for rubber roofing screwfix not related to DJing, but the site explains material choices really clearly. Impressed by what they offer if you ever need roof maintenance for your studio space.

Hope that gets you going for the Air Force event. Good on you for helping out the Colonel.
