American Audio MCD-810 CD Player User Manual


 
(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For
FLIP-FLOP results you must use both sides of the MCD-810™. Connect your MCD-810 as described
in the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For
example, if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-
FLOP to play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 26.
(c) MEMORY BACKUP: The MCD-810™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case
the power supply is accidentally disconnected. MCD-810™ will remember your last setting (SGL, and CTN) even if
you disconnect your main power. The MCD-810™ will store your cue points and loops in memory if you acci-
dentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 26.
(d) PROGRAMMABLE CUE POINTS: The MCD-810™ has four Bank (Flash) Start Buttons (29). 1000 Cue points
can be stored in each of the
BANK BUTTONS (7), for a total of 4,000. These cue points can be stored into the
unit's internal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 17.
(e) FLASH START FUNCTION: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ®
audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. This function work similar to the Fader "Q" Start Control
described above. In this case the crossfader is used to start and stop any loop that is stored in the players
memory.
(f) BOP EFFECT
: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a
loopr. Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects.
To create the BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 26.
(g) SLEEP MODE: The MCD-810's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity (when in
pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just press the
cue or play buttons.

FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ®
audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q-Start” control. Connect your MCD-810 as described in the set-up section of
this manual. After set up is completed load CDs into both players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right
you can start and pause the MCD-810™ playback functions. For Example, if the mixer’s crossfader is all the way to
the left (player one is playing and player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the
right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right,
and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. 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 loops may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can
be easily selected on the MCD-810™ player (see setting cue points page 17). “Q” Start control is easy to use and
mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music.
