SET-UP PRECAUTIONS
Please be sure to make any connections before plugging the CD player in to an electrical outlet.

The arising condensation of water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
Operating Determinations:
•When installing this CD player, please make sure that the device is not exposed or will not be exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust!
•Do not operate the CD player in extremely hot (more than 30°/100°F) or extremely cold (less than 5°C/40°F) surroundings.
•Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
•Operate the CD player only after becoming familiar with its' functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the unit. Most damages are the result of unprofessional opera-
tion.

(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-100 Mp3™ players. Connect your CDI-100 Mp3’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is completed load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDI100 Mp3 playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) CDI-100 Mp3 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 CDI-100 Mp3 player (see setting cue points page 16). “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).
(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) CDI-100 Mp3 players. Connect your CDI-100 Mp3’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 22.
(c)SLEEP MODE: The CDI-100 Mp3'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.
