The cue point is set as the initial start point on a track or can be moved when play is started at a different point. For instance, if
the music is paused, pressing play will set a new cue point. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel during pause.
As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new point is set. Alternately pressing the

Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music
of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left).
When the CD is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated.
The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

18. Power Switch- Turn on and turn off the machine with this button. The unit should always be shut down with this button first before any external
power is removed. Typically it is recommended that the CD player is powered on before amplifiers and off after amplifiers to avoid an audio spike
to be sent through your equipment.
19. Voltage Selector - Set this switch to the voltage for your location.
20. IEC Power Plug Connector - Plug your supplied power cord in here.
21. RCA Audio Connectors - Connect your CD player to your mixer from this line level output.
22. Digital Output - The format is type 2, form 1, also known as S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format). In order to use the digital output you
should not use variable pitch slider and the pitch bend buttons. If you adjust the pitch, other devices may not read the digital output properly
because the sampling rate changes
23. Relay Connector- If you wish to use the relay function plug in your 3.5mm stereo control cables into here and then into your other unit. The cable
must be a stereo style plug for the units to work properly
24. Remote Start Connector – Use this connector to plug into your fader start compatible mixer or remote switch. This function is always active. To
use this connector for fader start, connect the supplied fader start cable to a fader start compatible mixer. Every time you move the crossfader on
the mixer over to the side that the unit is on, it will automatically start playing. When you move the fader away from that side, the unit will stop.
Moving the fader back to the unit side will start play again.
There are two potential modes associated with the switch PLAY-CUE and PLAY/PAUSE. The factory setting is PLAY-CUE mode. This means that
when the unit is remotely stopped it will go back to the cue point automatically. To change modes hold down the time button for 3 seconds and the
display will flash the play “
is, and resumes when the fader is brought back to the unit. To change modes back to PLAY-CUE hold down the time button for 3 seconds and the
display will flash the play “

Remote Assignment Switch - Set this switch in the position for the method of remote start you will be using. Foot switches are often used for
creative mixing techniques and can be found in most music shops. Connector plugs are often ¼” and an adapter to 1/8” will be needed for
connection. There are also two types of footswitches that will work with this connector. The first is a typical, on/off pushbutton switch and are
generally used for switching channels on guitar amps. The second switch is a momentary footswitch and is usually used for keyboard sustain
pedals. If you are unsure of the style of switch you have, try each position until it works as desired.

Pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button starts the disc. Pressing the “CUE” button will reset the disc to the last place
where the disc was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button and the
“CUE” button, the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back
cue.
PLAY, PAUSE and CUE
When Play is paused and then started again, the return position for the back cue will be updated as the new cue
point
EDITING CUE POINT
When the jog wheel is turned while a cue point is set, a new cue point can be located. The CD player will
repeatedly play small parts of the CD as you move it to the desired position. By pressing “PLAY/PAUSE” then “CUE” you
can confirm that this new cue point is desirable.
This mode will be operational only when 2 units are connected via the supplied relay cable.
1. Insert CDs into both of the units.
2. Press the “RELAY” button on both units to activate.
3. We recommend putting both sides in SINGLE play mode
while learning this function.
4. Press play on the first unit. When that unit has finished play it will send a signal to the second unit to start play. You will see the
second unit start play and the first unit pause and cue to the beginning of the next track. When unit 2 has completed play unit 1 will
start.
Note: The play signal is sent at the end of specified play. If the unit is in SINGLE mode the play signal will start the second unit at the
end of the track. If the unit is in CONTINUOUS mode the play signal will be sent at the end of the full CD. Two CDs will play
continuously, alternating from unit to unit.
FADER START
Fader Start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a similarly equipped DJ mixer and setting the rear panel selection switch
to “mixer” mode.
1. Connect cables between the CD player and your DJ mixer.
2. Press the button or switch on your mixer into fader start mode to activate the fader start capability.
3. Typically if you move the crossfader toward the active channel, the attached CD player will activate. When it is moved away the
unit will cue or pause depending upon CD player setting.
To select start/stop mode hold the time button for 3 seconds.
If the display shows then the CD will pause when the crossfader is moved away.
If the display shows then the CD will CUE when the crossfader is moved away.
REMOTE SWITCH START
Remote switch start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a switch like a foot switch found in most music shops. Foot
switch connector plugs are often ¼” and an adapter to 1/8” will be needed for connection.
1. Connect the remote switch to your CD player.
2. Select the type of foot switch you will use. There are two types of footswitches that will work with this connector. The first is a
typical, ON-OFF pushbutton switch and are generally used for switching channels on guitar amps. The second switch is a
momentary footswitch and is usually used for keyboard sustain pedals. If you are unsure of the style of switch you have, try each
position until it works as desired.
3. Typically if you press the switch once, the attached CD player will activate. When it is pressed again the unit will cue or pause
depending upon CD player setting.
Note: You can also use a momentary switch in the ON-OFF switch position. In this case the unit will only play while the switch is
depressed. When the button is release it will either cue or pause depending upon mode.
Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch.
When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the
slider to the “+” side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the “-“ side. The following description is
for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1
PLAYER 1 is playing
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2
Both CD players are playing discs.
Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones
When PLAYER 2 is slow
compared to PLAYER 1
speed up PLAYER 2
When PLAYER 2 is fast
compared to PLAYER 1
slow down PLAYER 2
MATCHING BEATS USING PITCH BEND
If you find the BPM’s (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not matched you
will need to temporarily change the pitch. This description is for the case of matching the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of
the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be done on either PLAYER).
After matching the BPM’s adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:
When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel
clockwise or press “+” to bend pitch faster
When PLAYER 2 is ahead rotate the jog wheel counter
clockwise or press “-“ to bend pitch slower.
or
The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you change.
Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM’s are once again the same)
While playing a disc on PLAYER 1 load a disc into PLAYER 2 and select your next track, match its
pitch to the track playing on PLAYER1 and when you are ready use the crossfader on your mixer to fade from
PLAYER 1 to PLAYER 2.
