1. PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will stop and the program indicator will light. Select each track to be programmed and press the PROGRAM button between selections. You can program up to 30 tracks. Press PLAY to start the program. To exit and erase program hold the program button down for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off the power.

2. CONT/SING - Will cause just a single track to play or all tracks in order by pressing once or twice.

3. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring, with the CD. These functions are explained in the next section.

4. TIME (Time Button) - The TIME button switches the time display between elapsed playing time and remaining time on the track. Holding for more than one second activates auto-start functions.

5. OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) - Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray on the transport. NOTE: Tray will not open unless the disc has been paused.

6. TRACK (Track Buttons) - These buttons are used to select the track to be played.

7. Track 10 Button - This button is for quickly advancing to higher tracks on a CD.

8. PITCH (Pitch Button) - This button activates the Pitch Slider (14).

9. PITCH BEND (Pitch Bend Button) - When each of the two CD players is 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 pitch will automatically rise while the + button is pressed (allowing “catch up”) and return to the original pitch when the button is released. The pitch will automatically drop while the

button is pressed (allowing “fall back”) and return to the original pitch when the button is released. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the other in this way the beats can be matched.

10. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - This wheel has 3 forward and 3 reverse speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster you search through the music.

11. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) - This jog wheel serves 2 functions depending on the current mode.

a) The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search

control when the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new frame cue point, spin the wheel then press play when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the “CUE POINT”.

b) 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.

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 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. PITCH SLIDER - The pitch can be changed up to +/12% by pressing the PITCH button so the PITCH LED is lit, then moving the sliding fader. The pitch will not be changed if the PITCH LED is off.

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

CDN-22MK III

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 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

Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones

When PLAYER 2 is slow

compared to PLAYER 1

speed up PLAYER 2

Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2

Both CD players are playing discs.

When PLAYER 2 is fast compared to PLAYER 1

slow down PLAYER 2

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. 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 ahead press the

or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise

The pitch changes automatically while the or button is being pressed or the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the button or wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM’s are once again the same.)

- The Leader in DJ Technology

When PLAYER 2 is behind press the

or rotate the jog wheel clockwise

CDN-22MK III

RELAY PLAY

The cables required are commercially available 3.5mm (1/8”) mini-plug cables. One has already been included with your unit so the relay function could be used.

1. Connect auto start cable between both sides of the remote unit.

TIME

2. Insert CDs into both sides of the unit.

3. Hold down the time buttons for 1-2 seconds until the display indicates “auto” and the track number begins to flash. The track number will flash while the mode is active. Both sides must be active for relay to work.

4. Put both sides in SINGLE play mode while learning this function.

5. Press play on CD1 of the unit. When that CD1 has finished play it will send a signal to CD2 to start play. You will see CD2 start play and CD1 pause and cue to the beginning of the next track. When CD2 has completed play CD1 will start.

Note: The play command is sent at the end of specified play. If the unit is in SINGLE mode the play command will start at the end of the track. If the unit is in CONTINUOUS mode the play command will be sent at the end of the full CD. Two CDs will play continuously, alternating from side to side. This feature will also work in program mode, however, if the sides are also in SINGLE mode the same number of tracks programmed should be the same. Play will stop at the end of the last track.

FADER-START MODE

This mode is achievable by attaching both sides of your CD player to a similarly equipped DJ mixer.

1. Connect cables between the CD remote unit and your DJ mixer.

2. Hold down the time button for 1-2 seconds to activate the fader start capability.

3. Follow the directions in your mixer manual

Typically if you move the crossfader toward the active channel, the attached CD player will activate. When it is moved away that side will cue, (similar to pressing the cue button).
