7 MIX MODE SELECT
Mix mode selection is used to select the type of segueing to
be performed between tracks. There are four types of mixing
which may be performed: cut-in, echo, zip or cross fade
mixing. Once segueing has been performed, the currently
specified mixing type is cleared from memory. If no mixing
type is selected, the player will randomly select one of the
four types.
* Trying to perform cross-fade mixing between two tracks
located on the same disc will cause cut-in mixing to be
performed instead.

7 INSTANT CHANGE
Pressing INSTANT CHANGE causes the player to shift
immediately into the next track.
÷ Note however that playback will not begin until the
standby time (i.e., the time required for auto cueing and
BPM detection) for the next track has elapsed.
Changing the next scheduled track
This technique may be used to change the next track to be mixed
while playing back another track using auto mix playback.
7 Changing the next track when operating in
DISC mode or TRACK mode
1. Insert disc into player.
2. Start auto mix playback.
(See p. 17)
3. Press the BPM/NEXT button to switch to NEXT.
(The NEXT indicator will light up.)
4. Press PLAYER SELECT button A or B in accordance with
the player for which the next track is to be changed.
5. Turn the BPM/TRACK dial to select the next track
number.
6. Press the BPM/TRACK dial to confirm your selection.
÷ Failing to press the BPM/TRACK dial will cause the
specified change not to take effect and for the display to
return to its original value.
Audio output switch
This switch is used to specify the output to be transmitted to
output jacks A and B of the three audio output jacks (A, B and
MIX) available during auto mix playback.
7 Player A & B
Output sent directly to Player A and Player B.
÷ When the CMX-5000 has been connected to a DJ mixer as
shown in the example on p. 10, the sound from the mixer
from both A and B will be played back.
7 Player A/B & Auto Mix
The output from the audio output jacks will consist of auto-
mixing audio output only when playing in auto mixing mode.
÷ Monitoring of the next track during auto-mixing playback
may be performed by using headphones connected to the
CMX-5000 player.
Points to remember when using Auto Mixing
The following features can not be used during Auto Mix play.
÷ Fader start/back cue
÷ Functions controlled from the player side during playback,
other than master tempo, TIME/REMAIN switching, tempo
control range switching. But the tempo slider operates when
BPM SYNC is off.
÷ Loop play, auto cue off, increase/reduce speed by the jog
dial, tempo slider (when BPM SYNC is on) controlled from
the player on the standby side.
÷ The INSTANT CHANGE feature will not work during the
period of several seconds (the actual length of the time in
question varies from track to track) which elapses from the
time immediately after segueing to a new track to the time
required to prepare to segue into the new track.
