By connecting the CONTROL jacks on two players,
when playback finishes on one player, playback starts
on the other player. The desired selections are played
successively by changing discs and searching for the
selections.
÷ Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on two players to
the LINE INPUT jacks on the audio mixer. Connect
the CONTROL jacks on the two players with a
provided control cable.
÷ Set the auto cue functions of the two players to
ON. (The AUTO CUE indicator lights.)
÷ Set the fader control on the DJ mixer to the center
position.
1 Start playback on one player.
2 Load a disc in the other player. Select the next
played selection with the TRACK SEARCH button
(or set the optional cue point to enter cue
standby mode).
÷ When playback is finished on one player, playback
starts automatically on the other player and the
player played first enters pause mode at the
beginning of the next selection. In this way,
playback can be carried out alternately with two
players.
÷ Changing the disc (and selecting the selection)
during playback on the other player allows you to
play back desired selections successively.
÷ If the cue point is set during playback on the
other player (see "The setting of the cue point"),
relay playback starts from the cue point.
NOTE:
Unless the AUDIO OUT jacks of two players are
connected to the LINE INPUT jacks of the same audio
mixer or stereo amplifier, relay playback cannot be
performed properly.
If the power of the player being played is turned off,
another player in the standby mode may start playback
automatically.
Relay playback using two players
Even after loop playback, the loop-in point (start point)
and loop-out point (end point) remain in the memory.
Loop playback can be restarted provided that the
RELOOP indicator in the display window is lit.
÷ While the RELOOP indicator is lit, press the RE-
LOOP button during playback. Loop playback (re-
peated playback without sound interruption) be-
tween the previously-set start and end points starts.
÷ When the RELOOP button is pressed during loop
playback, the LOOP indicator in the display window
goes out and playback continues without returning
to the cue point (start point) even when the loop-
out point comes.
÷ The reloop operation is possible in the range
between about 10 minutes before and after the
loop start point.
Restarting Loop Playback
To combine the selections using two
players
[To align the tempo of playback between two
selections]
1 Start playback with two players.
2 Align the tempo of playback with the TEMPO
control knob on one of the players.
÷ If the effect of the BPM (Beats Per Minute) or
playback tempo of the selection is known be-
forehand, aligning the tempo can be carried out
rapidly and precisely by observing the TEMPO
display in the display window.
÷ Set the knob to the center clicked position for
original playback tempo.
÷ If the master tempo function is set to ON (The
MASTER TEMPO indicator in the display win-
dow lights up.), the pitch of selections will not
be changed in spite of adjusting the tempo. Com-
bining of the selections can be carried out
smoothly.
[To align the beat between two selections]
Combining of two selections becomes unnatural if
the beat of each selection is different even when they
have the same playback tempo. The beat search
function aligns the beat of two selections.
1 Start playback of two players with the same
tempo.
2 Rotate the Jog dial on one of the players slowly
to align the beat.
÷ Slowly rotate the Jog dial clockwise. The tempo
of playback becomes faster. Release the Jog
dial when the beat of two selections are aligned.
The tempo of playback returns to the tempo
which was previously adjusted with the TEMPO
control knob, and playback continues with the
aligned beat.
÷ Slowly rotate the Jog dial counterclockwise. The
tempo of playback becomes slower. Release
the Jog dial when the beat of two selections are
aligned. The tempo of playback returns to the
tempo which was previously adjusted with the
TEMPO control knob, and playback continues
with the aligned beat.
