(a)FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used with American DJ mixers also featuring Fader “Q” Start. Connect the supplied mini plugs from Disc 1 output on CD player to the “A” player control input on the rear of mixer. Then connect the other supplied mini plug from Disc 2 output on CD player to the “B” player control input on the rear of mixer. By moving the mixer fader from left to right you can start and pause Disc 1 and Disc 2 respectively. In other words, when the cross-fader of the mixer is to the left, and you move it 20% to the right, Disc 2 will begin to play. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, Disc 1 will begin

to play. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature.
