"FLIP-FLOP' (RELAY) CONNECTION AND SET UP

12. RELAY (FLIP-FLOP™)

This feature is a kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop™” mode can only function with the both drives of the DCD-PRO310. The "Flip-Flop" function can work with the player connected to a mixer, but it will only work with an American Audio® or American DJ® “Q” Start mixer. Also, the "Flip-Flop" function can work with the cd player connected directly to speakers, without the mixer. With “Flip-Flop™” you can have one disc drive begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip Flop™” single tracks, or entire discs. NOTE: When the cd player is connected directly to the speaker, without a mixer, the player can only "Flip-Flop" in single mode. It cannot "Flip-Flop" entire discs. To "Flip-Flop" entire discs, the player must be connected to a mixer.
