(a)FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) Radius 2000 players. Connect your Radius 3000 as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is com- pleted load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your Radius 2000 playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) Radius 3000™ players and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, if your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play. When the crossfader ismoved all the way to the right, player one (1) will return to cue mode, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two (2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Radius 3000 player (see setting cue points page 20). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal Setting). Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.

(b)Flip-Flop:This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Radius 3000 players. Connect your Radius 3000’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if player one (1) is playing a disc in the single mode and it ends, player one (1) will pause, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to play track to track. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 40. Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.

(c)MemorY Backup: The Radius 3000™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the power supply is accidentally disconnected. Radius 3000™ will remember your last setting (SGL, CTN, and effect parameters) even if you disconnect your main power. The Radius 3000™ will store your cue points and samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 26.

(d)Programmable Cue Points: The Radius 3000™ has four Bank Buttons (28). 4 cue points can be stored per folder for SD/USB audio device, with a total of 500 Cue points being stored in each of the Bank Buttons (28), a CD can store a total of 2000. These cue points can be stored into the unit's internal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 20.

(e)SLEEP MODE: The Radius 3000's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity (when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player press cue or play button.
