3. To EDIT a LOOP, press B-EDIT (21) and use the JOG WHEEL (24) to
adjust the length of the LOOP. Press B-EDIT (21) again to select a new
EXIT POINT. The LOOP will stay in memory until a new FLY CUE
POINT is set or the CD is ejected.
MEMO CUE:
1. Another easy way to set CUE POINTS is the MEMO (CUE-1-5) (23).
You can store up to 5 CUE POINTS in memory from any track within a
CD. Just press MEMO (23) then select any 1 of the 5 CUE POINTS
(CUE 1-5) to set a CUE POINT. Once you set a MEMO CUE POINT you
can return to that CUE by pressing it again. If the CD is PLAYING it will
play from the CUE POINT and if the CD is PAUSED the CUE POINT will
be PAUSED as well. MEMO POINTS are locked in memory until that CD
is ejected from the CD player.
NOTE: THE MEMO CUES CAN ALSO BE SET IN PAUSE MODE USING THE JOG WHEEL FOR
PRECISE CUE POINTS.
PLAY CUE:
1. To memorize the spot at which you want play to start, select the proper
track, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE (12) button so the unit goes
into the PLAY mode (PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED will glow green). Listen to
the CD and when the CD gets to the approximate spot, push PLAY/
PAUSE (12) so the unit goes into PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED
will blink green). Move the JOG WHEEL (24) to the precise spot you
want play to begin and push the PLAY/PAUSE (12) button to memorize
the CUE POINT. Press the CUE BUTTON (13) to return to the memorized
CUE POINT. Push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (12), and the unit will
instantly play from the spot selected.
2. To fine tune a CUE POINT, pause play at the memorized CUE POINT
(the CUE/PREVIEW (13) LED will glow and the PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED
will blink), then use the JOG WHEEL (24) to scan frame by frame (1/75th
of a second) to where you want play to begin (the CUE LED will blink
while you scan). Press PLAY/PAUSE (12) to save the new cue point.
NOTE: DURING FINE TUNING THERE WILL BE A STUTTER EFFECT (TO HELP YOU FIND
THE BEAT). THE STUTTERING EFFECT WILL END WHEN YOU PRESS THE PLAY/PAUSE
(12) TO SAVE THE CUE POINT.
ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS:
IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:
Use ROBO START (36) in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play
between the CFX-50 two CD players (one track from one side,
then one from the other). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts
immediately with no blank or “dead” space. ROBO START causes one
side of the CD player to play when the other side is paused.
1. Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE (17) button.
2. Press the ROBO START (36) button to activate ROBO START. Play will
alternate between the two CD players. At the end of a track, the playing
side pauses and the other CD deck plays a track. At the end of this
track, the playing side pauses and the first CD deck resumes play.
IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:
If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE
(in CONTINUOUS MODE or during normal play), play will not alternate
automatically. Pressing pause on the playing side will cause the other
side to play.
1. During normal play, set a CUE POINT on the other side of the CD player.
2. Press the ROBO START (36) button to activate ROBO START (the
button will blink).
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (12) on the playing side to begin play from
the cue point on the other side.
NOTE: PAUSING THE PLAYING SIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRACK WILL CAUSE THE OTHER
SIDE TO PLAY. WHEN THAT TRACK ENDS, PLAY WILL BEGIN FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE
TRACK WHERE PLAY WAS PAUSED.
PGM:
PROGRAM:
First choose either DISC 1 or 2, and press STOP (8) to reset any
previous program on the side that is chosen. Then press either A or B
(37) to choose DISC 1 or 2. Next press PGM (37) for PROGRAM
mode, (the PGM LED will start flashing green). Select the TRACK
NUMBER with the NUMBER PAD and SET (37) afterwards to select a
track for that slot. Continue to press PGM (37) and select tracks, until
filled with the total number of tracks. Then press PLAY/PAUSE (12) to
start the program (the PGM LED will be solid green). To exit the
PROGRAM press the STOP (8) button. The SINGLE (17) AUTO CUE
mode that is being used, such as CONTINUOUS or SINGLE modes will
affect the way the tracks play, ROBO START will not be affected by
PROGRAMING.
DIRECT SELECT:
To DIRECTLY SELECT a TRACK, just press the TRACK NUMBER then
SET (37) followed by PLAY/PAUSE (12) to PLAY the last selection.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.
If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that
the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will
skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try
playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
