OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (1), found on the rear panel, is
set for the proper voltage. Plug the unit in and press the POWER (6) switch. The
unit is ON. Pushing POWER (6) a second time turns the unit OFF.

CLOSE (8) again. The tray will close.

ORDER OF READING FOR MP3 FILES:
All MP3 files must have the extension *.mp3. If there are no files with *.mp3
extensions or MPX-3 cannot read the file system correctly the CD player will
indicate NO DISK and the MP3 segment in the right corner of LCD display will
blink. If a file has no *.mp3 extension, it will be skipped, during the file system
reading. (See w.wna and r.jpg files in the diagram). UDF format is not
supported. For MP3 files with adaptive bit-rates, the ELAPSED and REMAIN time
indication may be inaccurate.
The MPX-3 will only play the first session of tracks
on a CD that has been
recorded in a MULTISESSION or MIXED mode.

FLY CUE & CUE INSTRUCTIONS:
The FLY CUE (18) function lets you set CUES “on the fly” with the press of a
button. Press FLY CUE (18) when the disc reaches the musical location you wish
to make your CUE or START POINT. The CUE POINT is now programmed. Press
CUE/PREVIEW (12) to return to the CUE POINT. Press PLAY/PAUSE (11) and the
unit will instantly start from this pre-programmed spot.
AND/OR:
1. To pre-program a CUE POINT (the spot on a CD at which you want play to start)
select the proper track and push PLAY/PAUSE (11) so the unit enters the PLAY
mode. When the CD reaches the approximate musical spot you wish to make your
CUE, push PLAY/PAUSE (11) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE
LED blinks). Move the JOG WHEEL (22) or SEARCH (13) buttons, forward or
in reverse until the precise spot at which you want CD play to begin is located.
For
MP3 disks use the INNER WHEEL to find the precise spot. (You will not hear the
music when moving OUTER WHEEL).
Push PLAY/PAUSE (11). The CUE POINT
is now programmed. Press CUE/PREVIEW (12) to return to this preprogrammed
CUE POINT at any time. Push PLAY/PAUSE (11) and the unit will instantly play
from the pre-selected spot.
NOTE: IN MP3 MODE THE SEARCH (13) BUTTONS FUNCTION AS FILE/FOLDER MODE, USE
THE JOG WHEEL FOR PRECISE CUEING.
2. To fine-tune your pre-programmed CUE POINT, push PLAY/PAUSE (11) so the unit
enters the PLAY mode. Push the CUE/PREVIEW (12) button and the CD will return
to the CUE POINT you programmed in step #1 and begin play from that point. If
you decide this CUE or STARTING POINT is okay, leave the unit alone until you
are ready to play.
3. If, however, the selected spot is not exactly where you want it, push the CUE/
PREVIEW (12) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to the pre-
programmed CUE POINT. Locate the exact spot on the CD at which you want
play to start by turning the JOG WHEEL (22) or using the SEARCH (13) buttons.
Push PLAY/PAUSE (11) to preprogram this new CUE POINT. Press the CUE/
PREVIEW (12) button to pause play at the new CUE POINT. Push PLAY/PAUSE
(11) at any time and the unit will play from the pre-selected spot.
ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS:
IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:
Use ROBO START (29) in SINGLE AUTO CUE mode to alternate play between the
MPX-3s two sides (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 (29) causes one side of the CD player to play when the other side is paused.
1. Engage SINGLE AUTO CUE mode with the SINGLE AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS
(17) button.
2. Press the ROBO START (29) button to activate ROBO START (29). 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 the ROBO START (29) function without SINGLE AUTO CUE MODE (in
CONTINUOUS MODE or during normal play), CD deck play does not alternate
automatically. The PLAY/PAUSE (11) button must be pressed on the playing deck
for the second deck to play.
1. During normal play, set a cue point on the second CD deck.
2. Press the ROBO START (29) button to activate ROBO START.
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE (11) button on the playing side to start play from the cue point
on the other CD deck.
NOTE: PAUSING PLAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRACK CAUSES THE OTHER CD DECK TO PLAY.
WHEN THE NEW TRACK ENDS, PLAY RESUMES ON THE FIRST CD PLAYER FROM THE
POINT AT WHICH, IT WAS PAUSED.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
• If a disk will not play, check to see that it was loaded correctly (label side up) and that the CD unit
is on a flat, level, stable surface. Check disc for dirt, scratches, spills, etc.
• If the disc spins but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your
amplifier or receiver.
• If the CD skips, check it for dirt, oil or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player or laser is
defective. Many CDs are recorded “out of spec” and skip on most or all CD players. Before
sending the unit to an authorized Gemini service technician, insert a disc that plays properly in
another unit.
NOTE: DEPENDING ON THE CONDITIONS OF THE RECORDING EQUIPMENT OR THE CD-R/RW
DISC ITSELF, SOME CD-R/RW DISCS CANNOT BE PLAYED.
In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit, call 1-732-738-9003 for
