Fader Start Playback (*)
The supplied control cord may be used to connect the CONTROL terminal on the
DMP-555 to a CONTROL terminal on a DJM-300, DJM-500, DJM-600, or DJM-3000
mixer, thus making it possible to exit from cueing standby mode and to start play-
back immediately by raising the DJ mixer channel fader. The cross fader may also
be used to perform fading starts on the player as well. The fader may also be re-
turned to its original position to return the player to the cueing point (i.e., to per-
form back cueing).
(See page. 7 for instructions on how to connect the player.)
Relay Play Using Two Players (*)
If you connect the CONTROL terminals of this player with another CDJ series (or
CMX series) CD player using the supplied control cord then you will be able to relay
play. ☞ P. 8.
÷ Set both player’s auto cue function to ON (the [A. CUE] indicators will light
in the displays).
÷ Set your audio mixer's fader control to its center position.
1. Begin playback on the first player.
2. When the currently playing track ends, playback will
begin automatically on the standby player.
3. The first player will enter CUE pause mode at the
beginning of the next track on its disc.
÷ By repeating this operation, the two players can be used to perform con-
tinuous relay play.
÷ By loading new discs on the standby player, you can construct a continuous
program of whatever tracks you wish.
÷ By setting a Cue point on the standby player, you can perform relay to any
desired Cue point on the selected track (see page 14: Setting a Cue Point).
NOTE:
÷ Relay play may not operate properly if the audio out jacks on the two
players are not connected to the same audio mixer.
÷ If the power to one player is turned off during its playback, the other player
may begin playback.
÷ Fader start and relay play cannot be performed simultaneously, since
different control cord connections are required.
Isolator Function (*)
Using this function allows the user to isolate the audio spectrum into three fre-
quency ranges (LOW, MID and HIGH), and freely cut or combine any of the ranges
as desired.
1. Press the ISOLATOR RESET/SELECT button and select
whether the isolator function is to be applied to CD or
memory card (in dual mode ☞ P. 18).
÷ Even when in dual mode, the isolator function can be applied to only one
of the two media sources (CARD or CD).
÷ When entering dual mode, the ISOLATOR [CD] indicator will light. The
playback audio from the memory card is throughput on all frequencies,
but the CD sound will continue to be modified by the isolator setting made
previous to loading of the memory card.
÷ If you wish to apply isolator settings to the memory card playback in dual
mode, press the ISOLATOR RESET/SELECT button. The ISOLATOR
[CARD] indicator will light, and both CD and memory card will have
throughput on all frequencies. The isolator function can be applied to
memory card playback.
÷ In CD (single) mode and CARD (single) mode, the isolator function switches
automatically to apply isolator effects on whichever media is being played;
when this occurs, either the ISOLATOR [CD] or ISOLATOR [CARD]
indicator will light to indicate to which media source the effect is applied.
÷ In single mode, the ISOLATOR RESET/SELECT button operates as a
band reset function; the LOW, MID, and HIGH buttons will all light, in-
dicating throughput on all frequencies.
2 Press the ISOLATOR BAND button (LOW, MID or HIGH)
corresponding to the band you wish to cut.
÷ The pressed button indicator will go out and the corresponding frequency
band will be cut.
÷ If all three buttons LOW, MID, HIGH are pressed, all bands will be cut,
and no sound will be heard from the playing media; in this case, the LOW,
MID, and HIGH buttons will all flash as a warning.
÷ Regardless of the current mode (dual or single), pressing the ISOLATOR
RESET/SELECT button causes all frequency bands to be reset for full
throughput (band reset). In dual mode, however, the media will also switch.
NOTE:
÷ When an ISOLATOR BAND button indicator is lighted, the corresponding
frequency band is not cut (sound is audible). The button indicator goes
out to indicate that a band has been cut (isolator effect is applied). Take
care to note this difference and prevent mistaken use.
÷ This function is not supported in digital mode.
÷ If the media source (CD/CARD) is switched while the isolator is operating,
the selected ISOLATOR BAND function will be applied to the newly selected
media.
