FUNCTIONS

POWER SWITCH: After making sure the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch

is properly set, plug the unit in and press the POWER (1) button. The unit will turn on. Pushing POWER a second time turns the unit off.

DISC TRAY: The DISC TRAY (2) is where the CD is held during loading,

unloading and playback. Pressing disc tray OPEN/CLOSE (3) opens or closes the tray. The DISC TRAY holds both 12 cm and 8 cm CDs and automatically closes after remaining open for three minutes. Note: The tray will not open when the

OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON: Press OPEN/CLOSE (3) to load or remove

a CD from the DISC TRA Y.

DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (7) shows total tracks; track number; pitch

value; single-auto cue; continue (continuous play); and three different time displays: track time elapsed, track time remaining

CDX

is in the play mode.

and total time remaining on disc. Time is measured in minutes, seconds and frames.

PLAYBACK DISPLAY: The PLAYBACK DISPLAY (7A) displays the

play time remaining for each track. The display flashes slowly when the track has 15 seconds remaining and pulses rapidly when play time is down to five seconds.

PLAY/PAUSE : Each press of PLAY/PAUSE (16) causes the

operation to change from PLAY to PAUSE or PAUSE to PLAY.

TRACK SKIP : The TRACK SKIP (13) buttons let you

select the track to play.

SEARCH JOG WHEEL: The SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9) has two

functions. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL to make fine adjustments in pause mode. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL to bend the pitch for precise synchronization in PLAY mode.

SEARCH DIAL: Use the SEARCH DIAL (8) to select the scanning

direction and speed of your CD. Turning the dial in a clockwise direction scans forward while a counter-clockwise turn scans the track in reverse. Scan speed increases as the dial is turned.

STOP : The STOP (6) button ends CD play. TIME: The TIME (4) button switches the time display between the

three available choices listed under DISPLAY.

FLY CUE: The FLY CUE (10) function lets you set cues “on the fly”

with the press of a button. Press FLY CUE when the disc reaches the musical location you wish to make your cue or start point. The cue point is now programmed. Press CUE (15) to return to the cue point. Press PLAY/PAUSE and the unit starts from the pre-programmed spot.

CUE: With the unit in the Play mode (PLAY/PAUSE LED is green) and

after the cue point has been programmed, pressing CUE (15) will cause the CD player to enter the PAUSE mode (green PLAY/PAUSE LED blinks) at the programmed cue point (the CUE LED glows yellow). Holding down the cue button changes the function to PREVIEW and starts the CD from the programmed cue point. Releasing the CUE button will return the CD laser to the preset cue point.

LOOP: After a cue point is programmed, pressing LOOP (11) while in the

PLAY mode (CUE LED blinks yellow) repeats the section between the cue point and the point where the LOOP button was pressed. Press EXIT/RETURN or PAUSE/PLAY to EXIT Loop repeat.

EXIT/RETURN: Press loop EXIT/RETURN (12) to return to the beginning

of the previously saved loop from normal play.

SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS: Pressing SINGLE-AUTO CUE/

CONTINUOUS (5) activates the AUTO CUE FUNCTION. The Auto

Cue causes the CD to pause at the recorded beginning of the next track and allows you to segue into the next song with no “dead” air. Pressing SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS a second time will activate the CONTINUOUS function. This causes the CD to repeat play continuously until SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS is pressed a third time to deactivate the CONTINUOUS function.

PITCH CONTROL: Pushing PITCH CONTROL (17) activates the PITCH

section of the unit (PITCH LED glows red). The pitch of the CD will change according to the position of the PITCH SLIDE (14).

PITCH BEND BUTTONS : Pushing the PITCH BEND (18) buttons

will automatically raise the pitch up to +4% or lower the pitch down to -4% from the existing setting. Releasing the buttons returns pitch to the original setting. Use this function to match the pitch bend when mixing from one song to another.

TROUBLESHOO TING

• If a disk will not play, check to see that it was loaded correctly (label side up) and that the CD unit is on a flat, level, stable surface. Check disc for dirt, scratches, spills, etc.

• If the disc spins but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.

• If the CD skips, check it for dirt, oil or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player or laser is defective. Many CDs are recorded “out of spec” and skip on most or all CD players.

Before sending the unit to an authorized Gemini service technician, insert a disc that plays properly in another unit.

NOTE: Pausing play in the middle of a track causes the other CD deck to play. When the new track ends, play resumes on the first CD player from the point at which it was paused.
