Fader reverse function

The operating directions of the CH-1, CH-2 and cross fader levers can be reversed by setting the front panel’s FADER REVERSE switches to their [ON] positions.

When the CH-1 (or CH-2) FADER REVERSE switch is set to [ON], the top panel CH-1 (or CH-2) REVERSE indicator lights, and the corresponding lever’s operating direction is reversed (scale mark “0” becomes attenuation 0 dB, while scale mark “10” becomes minus infinity). The fader start function also operates in reverse.

When the C.F. FADER REVERSE switch is set to [ON], the top panel’s cross fader REVERSE indicator lights, and the lever operating direction is reversed (left side becomes CH-2 and right side becomes CH-1). The fader start function also operates in reverse.

Fader Start Function

When the CH-1 and CH-2 jacks of this unit are connected to a separately sold Pioneer DJ CD player (models CDJ-1000, CDJ-1000MK2, CDJ-800, CDJ-100S, CDJ-700S, CDJ-500II, CMX-3000, CMX-5000 or DMP-555), the channel fader and cross fader functions can be used to automatically start playback of the connected CD player (the applicable control cord must be connected). By moving the mixer’s channel fader or cross fader lever, the CD player’s pause function is released and play starts instantly. Also, by returning the fader lever to its original position, the CD player can be returned to its cue point (back cue function), thus allowing sampling playback.

Cross fader start play and back cue play

When the CH-1 CD player is held in standby at the cue point, merely moving the cross fader lever from the right (CH-2) side to the left (CH-1) side will cause the CH-1 CD player to begin playback.

When the cross fader lever reaches the left (CH-1) side, CH-2 CD player performs back cue (returns to its cue point). Likewise, when the CH-2 CD player is in standby at its cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the left (CH-1) side to the right (CH-2) side causes CH-2 CD player to begin playback. When the cross fader lever reaches the right (CH-2) side, CH-1 CD player performs back cue.
