(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) CDI-500 Mp3™ players. Connect your Radius 1000 as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is com pleted load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDI-500 Mp3™ playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) Radius 1000™ players and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, if

your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue

points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer

crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Radius 1000™ player (see setting cue points page 17). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects

with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal

Setting). Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.

(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For

FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Radius 1000™ players. Connect your Radius 1000’s as described in the set- up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to

play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 38.

Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.

the power supply is accidentally disconnected. Radius 1000™ will remember your last setting (SGL, CTN, and effect parameters) even if you disconnect your main power. The Radius 1000™ will store your cue points and

samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 26.

(d) PROGRAMMABLE CUE POINTS: The Radius 1000™ has three BANK BUTTONS (26). 500 Cue points can be stored in each of the BANK BUTTONS (26), for a total of 1500. These cue points can be stored into the unit's inter- nal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 20.

(e) SLEEP MODE: The Radius 1000's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity

(when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just

press the cue or play buttons.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS (Cont.)

A. TOP UNIT CONTROLS (FIGURE 3)

1. EJECT FUNCTION - Pressing this will eject the CD. The eject function will only when the unit is in

cue or pause mode, this is to prevent accidentally ejecting the disc when in play mode.

2. VFD DISPLAY - This high quality VFD display indicates all the functions, as they are occurring.

The display ICONS will be explained in the section C.

3. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved or the pitch function has been turned off. This adjustment can be made with or without a disc in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain

even if a disc has been removed and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the player. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and load another, that disc too will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the VFD (2).

4. MIDI BUTTON - Press this button to activate MIDI mode.

5. (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the

CD’s BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between two playing CD’s or other playing music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from the pitch button, the BPM’s will automatically return to PITCH SLIDER'S (3) pitch value Holding down this button will give a maximum of -100% pitch. Use this function to slow

to another playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is a momentary pitch adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER (3) to match the BPM’s with another playing

music source.

(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the CD’s BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between two playing CD’s or any other music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from this button, the BPM’s will automatically return to the PITCH SLIDER'S (3) selected pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +100% pitch.

6. PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON - This button is used to turn the PITCH SLIDER (3) function on and off. The pitch percentage can be changed between 4%, 8%, 16% and 100%. 4% will allow the least

amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust

to the different values please see page 28.

7. TEMPO LOCK FUNCTION - This button activates the TEMPO LOCK function. This function allows you to use the PITCH SLIDER to speed up or slow down playback speed without altering the tonal pitch of the track. When this function is not engaged the original tonal pitch of the track will be altered giving you the "chipmunk" effect when a track is played at a high rate of speed, or the "James Earl Jones" effect when a track is slowed to much.

8. PITCH PERCENTAGE SELECTOR - Press this button to choose any pitch range percentages of 4%, 8%, 16%, and 100%. See page 29 for more details.

9. JOG WHEEL/EFFECTS PLATTER - This wheel has three functions; A. The jog wheel will act as a frame search control when the CD is in pause or cue mode, allowing

you to set a cue point. B. The wheel also works as a pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 100%, and turning the wheel in the counter-clock wise direction will decrease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend will be determined on how long

you turn the jog wheel continuously.
