CD PLAYER & REAR PANEL FEATURES

25.CD DRAWER – Place your CDs you wish to play in here. This unit is designed to play commercially available CDs, MP3 CDs and properly burned and finalized CD-Rs. Due to variances on the specification of certain CD burners and CDs, some homemade CDs may not play properly. We recommend burning CDs at the minimum speed possible for the best performance.

26.EJECT – Pressing will open or close the disc tray on the transport.

27.POWER SWITCH – Turn the machine on and off with this button. The unit should always be shut down with this button first before any external power is removed. Typically it is recommended that the CD player is powered on before amplifiers and powered off after amplifiers.

28.IEC POWER PLUG CONNECTOR – Plug your supplied power cord in here.

29.CONTROL CABLE CONNECTOR – Plug in the 8-pin cable included in here to connect the remote control and main CD unit together.

30.RCA AUDIO CONNECTORS – Connect your CD player to your mixer from this line level output.

31.REMOTE START CONNECTOR – Use this connector to plug into your fader start compatible mixer or remote switch. This function is always active.

yTo use this connector for fader start, connect a fader start cable to a fader start-compatible mixer. Every time you move the crossfader on the mixer over to the side that the unit is on, it will automatically start playing. When you move the fader away from that side, the unit will stop. Moving the fader back to the unit side will start play again.

yFoot switches can also be attached to this jack for creative mixing techniques and can be found in most music shops. Connector plugs are often 1/4” and an adapter to 1/8” will be needed for connection. There are also two types of footswitches that will work with this connector. The first is a typical, on/off pushbutton switch and are generally used for switching channels on guitar amps. The second switch is a momentary footswitch and is usually used for keyboard sustain pedals.
