3.To EDIT a LOOP, press B-EDIT (21) and use the JOG WHEEL (24) to adjust the length of the LOOP. Press B-EDIT (21) again to select a new EXIT POINT. The LOOP will stay in memory until a new FLY CUE POINT is set or the CD is ejected.

MEMO CUE:

1.Another easy way to set CUE POINTS is the MEMO (CUE-1-5) (23). You can store up to 5 CUE POINTS in memory from any track within a CD. Just press MEMO (23) then select any 1 of the 5 CUE POINTS (CUE 1-5)to set a CUE POINT. Once you set a MEMO CUE POINT you can return to that CUE by pressing it again. If the CD is PLAYING it will play from the CUE POINT and if the CD is PAUSED the CUE POINT will be PAUSED as well. MEMO POINTS are locked in memory until that CD is ejected from the CD player.

NOTE: THE MEMO CUES CAN ALSO BE SET IN PAUSE MODE USING THE JOG WHEEL FOR PRECISE CUE POINTS.

PLAY CUE:

1.To memorize the spot at which you want play to start, select the proper track, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE (12) button so the unit goes into the PLAY mode (PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED will glow green). Listen to the CD and when the CD gets to the approximate spot, push PLAY/ PAUSE (12) so the unit goes into PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED will blink green). Move the JOG WHEEL (24) to the precise spot you want play to begin and push the PLAY/PAUSE (12) button to memorize the CUE POINT. Press the CUE BUTTON (13) to return to the memorized CUE POINT. Push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (12), and the unit will instantly play from the spot selected.

2.To fine tune a CUE POINT, pause play at the memorized CUE POINT (the CUE/PREVIEW (13) LED will glow and the PLAY/PAUSE (12) LED will blink), then use the JOG WHEEL (24) to scan frame by frame (1/75th of a second) to where you want play to begin (the CUE LED will blink while you scan). Press PLAY/PAUSE (12) to save the new cue point.

NOTE: DURING FINE TUNING THERE WILL BE A STUTTER EFFECT (TO HELP YOU FIND THE BEAT). THE STUTTERING EFFECT WILL END WHEN YOU PRESS THE PLAY/PAUSE (12) TO SAVE THE CUE POINT.

ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS:

IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:

Use ROBO START (36) in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play between the CFX-50 two CD players (one track from one side,

then one from the other). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts immediately with no blank or “dead” space. ROBO START causes one side of the CD player to play when the other side is paused.

1.Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE (17) button.

2.Press the ROBO START (36) button to activate ROBO START. Play will alternate between the two CD players. At the end of a track, the playing side pauses and the other CD deck plays a track. At the end of this track, the playing side pauses and the first CD deck resumes play.

IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:

If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE

(in CONTINUOUS MODE or during normal play), play will not alternate automatically. Pressing pause on the playing side will cause the other side to play.

1.During normal play, set a CUE POINT on the other side of the CD player.

2.Press the ROBO START (36) button to activate ROBO START (the button will blink).

3.Press PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (12) on the playing side to begin play from the cue point on the other side.

NOTE: PAUSING THE PLAYING SIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRACK WILL CAUSE THE OTHER SIDE TO PLAY. WHEN THAT TRACK ENDS, PLAY WILL BEGIN FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACK WHERE PLAY WAS PAUSED.

Then press PLAY/PAUSE (12) to start the program (the PGM LED will be solid green). To exit the PROGRAM press the STOP (8) button. The SINGLE (17) AUTO CUE mode that is being used, such as CONTINUOUS or SINGLE modes will affect the way the tracks play, ROBO START will not be affected by

PROGRAMING.

DIRECT SELECT:

To DIRECTLY SELECT a TRACK, just press the TRACK NUMBER then SET (37) followed by PLAY/PAUSE (12) to PLAY the last selection.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.

If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.

If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
