(b) 60 SECOND TRANSPORT PROTECTION: Will automatically close transport if left open for more than 60 seconds to
prevent someone from walking by and breaking the transport.
(c) FLIP-FLOP: On the back of the control unit there are 2 inputs that say control use a standard mini plug (stereo),
plug in from Side 1 to Side 2. Set both sides of the CD player to single mode on the control. Now when you play Disc
1 at the end of the last song the CD player will automatically change to Disc 2. Then when Disc 2 ends it will return
to Disc 1, etc.
(d) SLEEP MODE: The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after 15 minutes (when in pause or cue
mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To restart player, just press cue or play buttons.
(e) BOP EFFECT: A Bop Effect is a stutter, creating a sound similar to a CD skipping.
(f) Memory Backup: This will automatically keep your last setting (repeat, SGL, CTN) even if you unplug AC current. It
will also hold your cue points in memory if you accidentally open transport or shut off power. Memory cues are erased
automatically when a new CD is played, or by holding memory button down for 3 -4 seconds.
(g) “Q” Start Control: This feature is used with American DJ mixers featuring Fader “Q” Start. Connect the standard mini
plugs, supplied, from Disc 1 output on CD player to the “A” player control input on the rear of mixer. Then connect
the other supplied mini plug from Disc 2 output on CD player to the “B” player control input on the rear of mixer. By
moving the mixer fader from left to right you can start and pause Disc 1 and Disc 2 respectively. In other words,
when the cross-fader of the mixer is to the left, and you move it 20% to the right, Disc 2 will begin to play. When the
cross-fader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, Disc 1 will begin to play. You can create great effects similar
to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples can
quickly be recalled by moving the mixer cross-fader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the CD
player (1,19,20). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with
your music.

turntable.
