AXIS 8

RELAY PLAY

This mode will be operational only when 2 units are connected via a relay cable.

1.Insert CDs into both of the units.

2.We recommend putting both sides in SINGLE play mode while learning this function.

3.Press the “RELAY” button on one unit to activate.

4.Press play on the first unit. When that unit has finished play it will send a signal to the second unit to start play. You will see the second unit start play and the first unit pause and cue to the beginning of the next track. When unit 2 has completed play unit 1 will start.

Note: The play signal is sent at the end of specified play. If the unit is in SINGLE mode the play signal will start the second unit at the end of the track. If the unit is in CONTINUOUS mode the play signal will be sent at the end of the full CD. Two CDs will play continuously, alternating from unit to unit.

FADER START

Fader Start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a similarly equipped DJ mixer and setting the rear panel selection switch to “mixer” mode.

1.Connect cables between the CD player and your DJ mixer.

2.Press the button or switch on your mixer into fader start mode to activate the fader start capability.

3.Set the CD player to fader start by hold down followed by tapping until the display says .

4.Typically if you move the crossfader toward the active channel, the attached CD player will activate. When it is moved away the unit will cue or pause depending upon CD player setting.

To select start/stop mode hold the time button for 2 seconds.

If the display shows then the CD will pause when the crossfader is moved away.

If the display shows then the CD will CUE when the crossfader is moved away.

REMOTE SWITCH START

Remote switch start is achievable by attaching your CD player to a switch like a foot switch found in most music shops. Foot switch connector plugs are often ¼” and an adapter to 1/8” will be needed for connection.

1.Connect the remote switch to your CD player.

2.Select the type of foot switch you will use. There are two types of footswitches that will work with this connector. The first is a typical, ON-OFF pushbutton switch and are generally used for switching channels on guitar amps. Set the CD player to a ON-OFF switch by hold down

followed by tapping until the display says . The second switch is a momentary footswitch and is usually used for keyboard

sustain pedals. Set the CD player to a ON-ON switch by hold down followed by tapping until the display says . If you are unsure of the style of switch you have, try each position until it works as desired.

3.Typically if you press the switch once, the attached CD player will activate. When it is pressed again the unit will cue or pause depending upon CD player setting.

Note: You can also use a momentary switch in the ON-OFF switch position. In this case the unit will only play while the switch is depressed. When the button is release it will either cue or pause depending upon mode.
