Using the cross fader start function of the DJM-600, DJM-500 or DJM-300, step 10 above can be eliminated for even simpler mixing. In addition, when the

CROSS FADER slider is returned to its original position, the status returns to that in step 9 (player CD2 at its Cue point), so that you can repeat the same play as many times as you like.
