To FLIP-FLOP entire CDs:

To FLIP-FLOP an entire disc, be sure both drives are in continuous play mode. The SINGLE ICON

(51)should not be displayed in the LCD (13). When both drives are in continuous play mode, follow the directions for single track FLIP-FLOP as detailed above. When one the disc in one unit ends the other unit will immediately begin playback.

Combining FLIP-FLOP modes:

Flip-Flop modes may combined. One unit may run in single mode and the other in continuous mode. When the units are arranged in this fashion, the unit in single mode will play a single track and flip to the next unit. The next unit will then play the entire disc and flip back to the other. The other will then play the next track and flip back to the other unit, and so on.

Fader Q-Start™

This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio “Q-Start" DJ mixer. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD Player with the slide of the fader.

Connecting your PRO-DJ2FX to a Fader “Q” Start mixer for “Flip Flop” control: Be sure to connect 1/8” mini plugs from the control connection on the rear your PRO-DJ2FX to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American DJ “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!
