Fader start playback
The supplied control cable may be used to connect the CONTROL
connector of the CDJ-400 to the matching CONTROL connector on a
Pioneer DJ mixer, thus making it possible to exit from cueing standby
mode and start playback immediately by raising the channel fader on
the DJ mixer. The cross fader may also be used to perform fade-in
starts on the player as well. The fader may also be returned to its
original position to return the player to the cueing point (back
cueing.) (See P.9 for instructions on connecting the units.)
