To FLIP-FLOP entire CDs:
To FLIP-FLOP an entire disc, be sure both drives are in continuous play mode. The SINGLE ICON
(39) should not be displayed in the LCD (3). 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 CDS-1 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 CDS-1 to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of
American DJ or American Audio “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!
ADVANCED OPERATIONSFLIP-FLOP™
This feature is kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop” mode can only function with the use of two CDS-1 units.
The “Flip-Flop” function may be used with or without an American Audio “Q” deck mixer, you can
have one unit begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip Flop” single tracks, the entire disc,
a combination of the two, or you can even “Flip-Flop” your programmed tracks.

1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 6.

playback.
