3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause damage.
If the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified technician.
CONNECTIONS
1. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into the two
LINE OUTPUT (21) jacks on the back of your CD unit.

line level input jacks on your mixer. If you are playing the

AUX inputs, use any line level (not phono) input.
FUNCTIONS
POWER SWITCH: After making sure the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch
is properly set, plug the unit in and press the POWER (1) button.
The unit will turn on. Pushing POWER a second time turns the unit off.
DISC TRAY: The DISC TRAY (2) is where the CD is held during loading,
unloading and playback. Pressing disc tray OPEN/CLOSE (3) opens
or closes the tray. The DISC TRAY holds both 12 cm and 8 cm CDs
and automatically closes after remaining open for three minutes. Note:
The tray will not open when the

is in the play mode.
OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON: Press OPEN/CLOSE (3) to load or remove
a CD from the DISC TRAY.
DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (7) shows total tracks; track number; pitch
value; single-auto cue; continue (continuous play); and three
different time displays: track time elapsed, track time remaining
and total time remaining on disc. Time is measured in minutes,
seconds and frames.
PLAYBACK DISPLAY: The PLAYBACK DISPLAY (7A) displays the
play time remaining for each track. The display flashes slowly when
the track has 15 seconds remaining and pulses rapidly when play
time is down to five seconds.
PLAY/PAUSE : Each press of PLAY/PAUSE (16) causes the
operation to change from PLAY to PAUSE or PAUSE to PLAY.
TRACK SKIP : The TRACK SKIP (13) buttons let you
select the track to play.
SEARCH JOG WHEEL: The SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9) has two
functions. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL to make fine adjustments
in pause mode. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL to bend the pitch
for precise synchronization in PLAY mode.
SEARCH DIAL: Use the SEARCH DIAL (8) to select the scanning
direction and speed of your CD. Turning the dial in a clockwise
direction scans forward while a counter-clockwise turn scans
the track in reverse. Scan speed increases as the dial is turned.
STOP : The STOP (6) button ends CD play.
TIME: The TIME (4) button switches the time display between the
three available choices listed under DISPLAY.
FLY CUE: The FLY CUE (10) function lets you set cues “on the fly”
with the press of a button. Press FLY CUE when the disc reaches the
musical location you wish to make your cue or start point. The cue
point is now programmed. Press CUE (15) to return to the cue point.
Press PLAY/PAUSE and the unit starts from the pre-programmed spot.

after the cue point has been programmed, pressing CUE (15) will
cause the CD player to enter the PAUSE mode (green PLAY/PAUSE
LED blinks) at the programmed cue point (the CUE LED glows yellow).
Holding down the cue button changes the function to PREVIEW and
starts the CD from the programmed cue point. Releasing the CUE
button will return the CD laser to the preset cue point.
LOOP: After a cue point is programmed, pressing LOOP (11) while in the
PLAY mode (CUE LED blinks yellow) repeats the section between the
cue point and the point where the LOOP button was pressed. Press
EXIT/RETURN or PAUSE/PLAY to EXIT Loop repeat.
EXIT/RETURN: Press loop EXIT/RETURN (12) to return to the beginning
of the previously saved loop from normal play.

Cue causes the CD to pause at the recorded beginning of the next
track and allows you to segue into the next song with no “dead” air.
Pressing SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS a second time will activate
the CONTINUOUS function. This causes the CD to repeat play continu-
ously until SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS is pressed a third time to
deactivate the CONTINUOUS function.

section of the unit (PITCH LED glows red). The pitch of the CD will
change according to the position of the PITCH SLIDE (14).

will automatically raise the pitch up to +4% or lower the pitch down
to -4% from the existing setting. Releasing the buttons returns pitch
to the original setting. Use this function to match the pitch bend when
mixing from one song to another.
DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD DRIVE,
or other such items which accept digital signals to the BNC (20) output
connector on the rear panel of your
CDX
allows you to record a digital
signal from CD.
