REAR PANEL FEATURES
18. IEC Power Plug Connector: Plug your supplied power cord in here.
19. Voltage Selector: Set this switch to the voltage for your location.
20. RCA Audio Connectors: Connect your CD player to your mixer from this line level output.
21. Relay Connector (MPCD3 only): To use connect a relay cable between two units as described in the setup section
of this manual.
• Insert CDs into both sides of the unit.
• Hold down the “single” button for 3 seconds until the display indicates “auto-start”. Both units must be active for
relay to work.
• Put both units in SINGLE play mode while learning this function.
• Press play on the first unit. When that unit has finished play it will send a signal to the second to start play. You
will see the first unit start play and second pause and cue to the beginning of the next track.
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.
22. Remote Start Connector: Use this connector to plug into your fader start compatible mixer or remote switch as
described in the setup section of this manual. This function is always active. To use this connector for fader start,
connect a 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.
There are two potential modes associated with the switch PLAY-CUE and PLAY/PAUSE. The factory setting is
PLAY-CUE mode. This means that when the unit is remotely stopped it will go back to the cue point automatically.
To change modes hold down the “time” button for 3 seconds and the display will flash the play “
" and pause “ ”
icons. In PLAY/PAUSE mode, moving the crossfader away from the unit side pauses right where it is, and resumes
when the fader is brought back to the unit. To change modes back to PLAY-CUE hold down the “time” button for 3
seconds and the display will flash the play “
" and cue “ ” icons in the display.
23. Remote Assignment Switch: Set this switch in the position for the method of remote start you will be using. Foot
switches are often used 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. If you
are unsure of the style of switch you have, try each position until it works as desired.
• ON-OFF – for use with an ON-OFF switch.
• MOMENTARY – for use with a momentary style of switch.
• MIXER – for use with a fader start compatible DJ mixer
24. Digital Output: The format is type 2, form 1, also known as S/PDIF (Sony/Phillips Digital Interface Format). In order
to use the digital output you should not use variable pitch slider and the pitch bend buttons. If you adjust the pitch,
other devices may not read the digital output properly because the sampling rate changes.
