REAR CONNECTIONS
1. Channel Inputs: Unbalanced RCA jacks for connecting external sources. The Phono/Line input is selected using the toggle switch on the front panel. Turntables, HiFi VCRs, cassette and reel-to-reel tape decks, DAT machines, CD players, laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing consoles can be connected using these jacks. NOTE: Plug mono audio
sources into both left and right inputs using a “Y” cable connector.
2. GND: This screw connector should be used to connect any turntables or other devices that need to be grounded.
3. Line/Phono Input Switch: Use this to allow either line level or phono level equipment to be plugged into your channel inputs. When Phono input is selected, your signal is fed directly to the high-quality RIAA phono pre-amplifiers. Use this position only for
turntables. Line level sources will overload the sensitive phono pre-amps and will sound very bad, so always be sure to toggle the line/phono switch over to line before connection of line sources.
4. Third Line Input: Plug in a third line level device such as a tape deck or additional CD player here.
5. Stereo Master Outputs: Unbalanced RCA connectors controlled by the Master fader.
6. Stereo Balanced Master Outputs (XLR): low­impedance XLR type connectors controlled by the Master fader.
7. Mic Input: Plug your 1/4” Microphone plug in here.
8. AC In: This mix station is designed to work with the power supply cord that comes with the unit. While the power is switched off, plug the power supply into the mix station first, then plug it into the outlet.
9. Power Switch: Use this switch to turn on the mix station after all input devices are already connected to prevent damage to your equipment. Turn the station
on before you turn on amplifiers and turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mix station.

b) When both CD players are playing a CD, the
pitch bend function allows the positioning of the bass beats to be matched after the pitch of each disc is matched. Either player can “catch up” or “fall back” to match the other player. The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music if the song is already
playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the pitch of the other disc, the beats can be matched.
12. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during play provides a return to the position at which play was started. If PAUSE is used before CUE, that will become the cue point. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same position any number of times. The CUE LED will light up from the time the CUE button is pressed until the CD has been reset to the position at which play was started. Steady lighting of this LED indicates the ready condition.
13. START/PAUSE (Play/Pause Button) - Each press of the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to change from play to pause or from pause to play.
14. LOOP IN – Used for setting a start loop point and new cue points during playback.
15. LOOP OUT – Used for setting the end loop point and releasing the loop action.

USING THE FOLDER SEARCH FEATURE
One way to organize the MP3 files on your CD’s is by using Folders. Folders make it easier to find the music you want quickly. The CDMIX3 is set up to navigate folders, making it the ideal tool for the professional DJ.
Note that the Track +10 feature is not available when a disc that contains folders is inserted into the drive. This feature is only used with discs that do not contain folders.
The CDMIX3 Folder Search feature is easy to use.
1. Place an MP3 CD that contains folders into one of the CDMIX3’s two CD drives.
2. When the Disc is ready, the LCD display will change from “READ” to displaying the folder name.
3. Press the FOLDER button. The LCD display will flash “FOLDER”. Use the TRACK search buttons to scan through the named folders contained on the disc. Press the FOLDER button again to select a folder. LCD display will flash “TRACK LIST”.
4. You may now search tracks contained within the selected folder using the TRACK search buttons to scan through the tracks contained within the folder.
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.
1. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1. PLAYER 1 is playing
2. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2 Both CD players are playing discs.
3. Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones. If the beat of channel 2 (in the headphones) is faster than channel 1, slow down the beat of channel 2 using the pitch control.
4. If the beat of channel 2 (in the headphones) slower than the beat of channel 1, speed up the beat using the pitch control.
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
When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel 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.)
EXAMPLE OF MIXING USING BOTH PLAYERS OF YOUR CD PLAYER
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.
