(a)FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two PRO-DJ2FX players. Connect your PRO-DJ2FX’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set-up is completed load your unit's. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your PRO-DJ2FX playback functions. For Example, when using two PRO-DJ2FX units and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, if your mixer’s crossfader is all

the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two will begin to play and player one will return to cue mode. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (will begin to play and player two will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the PRO-DJ2FX player (see setting cue points page 13). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal Setting).

(b)BOP EFFECT: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a sampler. Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects. To create the BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 22.

(c)FLIP-FLOP:This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For FLIP-FLOP results you must use two PRO-DJ2FX players. Connect your PRO-DJ2FX’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one player has ended. For example, if player one is playing a disc and it ends, player two will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 23.

(d)60 SECOND TRANSPORT PROTECTION: The CD transport tray will automatically close if left open for more than 60 seconds. If a CD is left in the tray it will immediately cue.

(e)SLEEP MODE: The PRO-DJ2FX’s laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity (when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just press the cue or play buttons.

(f)MEMORY BACKUP: The PRO-DJ2FX has a five year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the power supply is accidentally disconnected. PRO-DJ2FX will automatically remember your last setting (repeat, SGL, CTN) even if you disconnect your main power.. The PRO-DJ2FX will store your cue points in memory if you accidentally open transport tray or shut off the power. Note: Memory cues are erased automatically when a new CD is played, or by holding memory button down for 5 seconds.

(g)JOG WHEEL PITCH BEND: During normal playback, the inner jog wheel acts as a momentary pitch bend. Turing the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase the speed and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the speed.
