IMPORTANT INFORMATION...

Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system.

For optimum performance: a) Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your

warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually because of a dirty or dusty

environment) consult a professional technician. b) Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections. c) Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 50ft/14m) Be sure plugs

and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or intermittents that could easily damage your

speakers. Make the input and output connections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable

makes a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See your Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store

if you are not sure which cables to get. d) Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs other than those described in this manual. Take the unit to your

dealer or to an authorized Numark Service Center. e) ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume controls on

minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume. This

prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage. f) Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage speakers due to

amplifier clipping. g) Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most professional

power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond it’s limits.

Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer, soda, glasses of

water or anything wet on top of the unit!

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY/PAUSE AND CUE OPERATIONS PLAY and CUE

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

EDITING CUE POINT

When the inner search dial 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.

MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM)

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 illustration shows the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.

BEAT MATCHING 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. The illustration below shows how to match 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 rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise

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.)

When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise

USING THE LOOPING FEATURES

These feature are for seamlessly looping certain areas of the CD. A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat with no breaks.

There are 3 buttons associated with the loop feature.

LOOP IN

The “LOOP IN” is where you wish for the loop to actually start. You will notice the “LOOP IN” LED will be lit every time you put in a new CD and select a new track. This means that the initial “CUE” point of the CD is also the default “LOOP IN” point. If you wish to set a new “LOOP IN” point, just press the “LOOP IN” button while the CD is playing when it reaches the desired point. By default this also becomes the new “CUE” point.

NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set point as the “LOOP IN” point until you actually set a new “LOOP IN” point, erase the loop, or put in a new CD. If you set a “LOOP IN” point and then do a track search prior to the point position, thus setting a new auto-cue point, the LOOP IN LED will turn off. This indicates that the CD player has stored a “LOOP IN” point but the point is not accessible until the CD player plays through the “LOOP IN” point. The ”CUE” button will return you to the start position until you play through the “LOOP IN” point. Then it will return to “LOOP IN”

LOOP OUT

The “LOOP OUT” determines the end point for a loop. The first time you press this button while a CD is in play mode, the “LOOP OUT” LED will turn on and flash while the song automatically returns to the “LOOP IN” point with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the “LOOP OUT” point again it returns to the “LOOP IN” point and continues to repeat this action. You will notice the “LOOP IN” LED will also be flashing during loop action. To release or end the LOOP press the “LOOP OUT” button a second time and play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set “LOOP OUT” point. The “LOOP OUT” and “LOOP IN” LEDs will also be lit solid indicating that these “LOOP” points are now in memory for “RELOOP” purposes.

Note: The “LOOP OUT” point will be erased if “LOOP IN” is pressed or a new “CUE” point is set after the “LOOP OUT” point. This is important because without this point “RELOOP” will not be possible

http://www.numark.com

CD MIX-2

MOVING LOOP POINTS

The “LOOP IN” point can be moved while a loop is playing just by pressing the “LOOP IN” button at the new desired point. The next time “LOOP OUT” is reached the CD will return to this new “LOOP IN” point. If you should accidentally set a new “LOOP IN” point at the same place as your “LOOP OUT” point the “LOOP OUT” point will be erased and play will continue.

Note: If for any reason you should press pause then play to restart a track in between

these loop points, setting a new cue point, this will also set a new “LOOP IN” point.

The “LOOP OUT” point can also be moved while a loop is playing just by first pressing this button to release the old “LOOP OUT” point and pressing it again at the new desir ed po int.

RELOOP

The “RELOOP/STUTTER” button performs 2 different functions depending on your state of play. The Reloop function is possible only if “LOOP” points have been previously set and the CD is playing beyond the “LOOP OUT” point.

The “RELOOP” button automatically causes a loop to be played again until it is released with the “LOOP OUT” button. The LEDs will flash during the loop and then become solid following the loop.

The second function of this button is described in the section called “STUTTERING FUN”

CD MIX-2

PRE-PROGRAMMING AND EDITING A LOOP

LOOP IN PRE-PROGRAM

To pre-program your “LOOP IN” point either play your song or search for the desired “LOOP IN” point using the search and jog wheels. When you get to the desired point press “LOOP IN”. If you wish to edit this point turn the jog wheel until you find the desired point. When you press play the CD will begin play from the new “LOOP IN” point. This also is the temporary new “CUE” point. If you then hit play to listen to the point and cue to go back you can continue to edit with the jog wheel.

LOOP OUT PRE-PROGRAM

To pre-program your “LOOP OUT” point play your song until you get to the desired “LOOP OUT” point and press “LOOP OUT”. To rapidly advance over a long distance you can use the search wheel with no center cue- jog. DO NOT USE THE TRACK BUTTONS**. If the CD player is presently in play mode, the song will return to the “LOOP IN” point and continue playing the LOOP.

If you wish to precisely set the “LOOP OUT” point while searching;

a. press “PAUSE” once only before you reach the desired point, if you are currently in play. b. turn the jog wheel until you find the desired point. c. hit “LOOP OUT” .

REVIEW YOUR LOOP

To review, press “RELOOP” only and the CD will begin playing the LOOP from the “LOOP IN” point so you may listen to the entire LOOP. DO NOT

PRESS PLAY OR YOU WILL SET A NEW “CUE” AND “LOOP IN” POINT AND ERASE THE “LOOP OUT” POINT! If you wish to advance quickly

through a long loop, use the search wheel only. If you wish to edit this point again;

a. Press “LOOP OUT” to release the loop. b. Repeat the above steps.

To review your loop while the CD is already playing press “CUE”. This returns the CD to the “LOOP IN” point, then press play.

** Pressing the track buttons puts the CD player into an auto-cue mode. Multiple tracks are often found for single songs on remix service CDs. The track select mode automatically sets new cue points and would set a new “LOOP IN” point if set after the original “LOOP IN” point.

PLAYING YOUR LOOP

To return to the beginning of the song and play after you are happy with the loop:

1. Press “PAUSE” to stop the play action of the CD or “CUE” to return to the “LOOP IN” point.

2. Track backwards until you reach the beginning of the song.

(Remix CD’s often contain multiple track numbers for the same song.)

3. Auto-cue to the beginning of the track will then occur. Once this occurs your cue button will return you to this point until you pass over the “LOOP IN” point. Then “LOOP IN” will be the new “CUE” point.

4. The “LOOP OUT” LED will be flashing indicating a preset loop is ahead and will be played when reached.

5. When the “LOOP IN” point is reached both “LOOP IN” and “LOOP OUT” LEDs should flash.

6. The LOOP should occur as preset by you until you release it with the “LOOP OUT” button.

7. Both “LOOP IN” and “LOOP OUT” LEDs should then go solid again indicating the possibility of RELOOP.

NOTE: If you should decide that you do not want to automatically play a preset loop after you start a song, just press “LOOP OUT” anytime before you actually reach the “LOOP OUT” point and the “LOOP OUT” LED will remain solid. (You can press it again before the “LOOP IN” point if you change you mind.) The “LOOP IN” LED will come on solid when this point is reached indicating the possibility of RELOOP. This will allow you to use the selection for reloop purposes. However, until you pass the “LOOP OUT” point the “RELOOP/STUTTER” button only acts as a STUTTER function as explained in STUTTERING FFFUN.

If you turned off your “LOOP OUT” while practicing your loop, remember to turn it on again before reaching the “LOOP IN” point.

ERASING YOUR LOOP

To erase presets loop either;

a. Open and close the door. b. Press the program button twice. c. Select a track, a new “CUE” point, or new “LOOP IN” point beyond the “LOOP OUT” point. d. Press “LOOP IN” prior to the old point to set a new loop

DESCRIPTION OF LED DISPLAY

LOOP IN on /LOOP OUT off: This means that there is a LOOP IN point

available for looping and stuttering, but no LOOP OUT point is set yet.

LOOP IN flashing /LOOP OUT flashing : This ind icates that the CD

player is actively looping from LOOP IN to LOOP OUT.

LOOP IN on /LOOP OUT on: This indicates that the LOOP IN and LOOP

OUT points are set and a RELOOP will return to the LOOP IN to play

the loop. LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT off : This indicates that: a) There is a LOOP IN point stored into memory, but this looping

function and this STUTTER point are disabled until the music plays

through the point. b) There is no LOOP OUT point set yet. LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT on: A future loop has been stored into memory.

This loop will be inactive until either LOOP OUT is pressed prior to the CD playing through the LOOP IN point or RELOOP is pressed after the LOOP IN point.

LOOP IN off /LOOP OUT flashing : An active loop is stored into memory

and will automatically play after the music plays through the LOOP IN point.

This function allows music to be replayed from the last set cue point seamlessly.

Carefully read all of the following conditions to fully understand this button’s operation. Don’t forget this button serves two functions depending upon the CD player’s state of play.

• If the CD is paused either at the beginning of a track or at some other “CUE” point the “STUTTER/RELOOP” can start play of the song and actually seamlessly restart every time the button is pressed.

• If the song is already playing and no additional cue or loop in points have been set then the CD will return to the place where you originally started playing and seamlessly start playing again. If this was on a beat this would be a quick way to seamlessly extend a mix.

•

If another “CUE” or “LOOP IN” point has been set, but you have not reached this point yet, the song will return to the start position and seamlessly restart playing.

• If a “LOOP IN” point but no “LOOP OUT” point has been set and you have passed this point, then the song will return to the “LOOP IN” point and start playing. The reason for this is that every time you set a “LOOP IN” point you are also resetting the “CUE” point.

• If a “LOOP IN” point and “LOOP OUT” point have been set, and the CD is in the middle of playing a loop, then the “STUTTER/RELOOP” button will create a stutter back to the “LOOP IN” point and continue the set loop until the “LOOP OUT” button is pressed, to release the loop.

• Again it is important to remember that “STUTTER” and “RELOOP” are the same button.

• If a “LOOP IN” point and “LOOP OUT” point have been set and the CD is finished playing a loop then the “STUTTER/RELOOP” will return to the “LOOP IN” and continue to RELOOP until the “LOOP OUT” is pressed.

• If a new ”LOOP IN” point is set after the last “LOOP OUT” point then this can be a new “STUTTER” point.

Simply put, you can Stutter on either your initial cue point or a set “LOOP IN” point, whichever is immediately prior to your current play position.
