Main Unit Features

25. CD Illumination Light – lights up the CD drawer and CD when open.

26. CD Drawer – Place your CDs you wish to play in here. This unit is designed to play commercially available CD and properly burned and finalized CDR and CDRW formats. Due to variances on the specification of certain CD burners and CDs some discs home made CDs may not play properly.

27. OPEN/CLOSE- Pressing will open or close the disc tray on the transport.

28. 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.

29. IEC Power Plug Connector - Plug your supplied power cord in here.

30. Control Cable Connector- Plug in the 8-pin cable included in here to connect the remote control and main CD unit together

31. RCA Audio Connectors - Connect your CD player to your mixer from this line level output.

32. Digital Output - This unit has full time digital output. The format is type 2, form 1, also known as S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format). Some CDs also have information encoded in the original audio output such as CDG CDs for Karaoke. To access this information, hold down “PROG” followed by “PITCH”. This combination toggles the digital output to allow raw digital information to be extracted from the CD for CDG video purposes. “VIDEO” will be indicated in the display in this mode. When this mode is active

CDN90

the unit will not allow for looping or other effects that would disrupt the video. In this mode, Prog + Cue will turn autocue on and off for video mode only. This is so that the CDG doesn't skip over the video frame before the song comes in. When you wish the digital output with effects to be used only for other digital devices, the unit should be put into “Audio” mode.

33. 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.

Foot switches can also be attached to this jack 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.

34. MIDI IN Connector –The port is for receiving MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) signals from other MIDI devices such as CD players, Keyboards, or Drum machines.

35. MIDI OUT Connector –The port is for sending MIDI signals to other MIDI devices.
