Fader Play
Fader Play is available only when the CDP-D12 is connected to a mixer equipped with a remote fader function in which the – ∞ position (lowest position) is OFF and all other positions are ON.
If you connect the mixer’s fader to the CDP-D12’s PARALLEL connector terminal to which the Fader PLAY function is assigned, the fader can be used to control player operations. When the fader is lowered to
–∞ , the player cues to and pauses at the beginning of the next track. When the fader is changed to another position, the player starts playing the track.
To do 1 Track Repeat Play
Because of the design of the CDP-D12, if you cue to the next track during 1 Track Repeat Play, the player will play the next track repeatedly. To do repeat play of only one track using Fader Play, make a program containing that track only (see “Programming the tracks” on page 32) and select Repeat All Play (see “Playing Tracks Repeatedly” on page 29) on the player.
Connecting the RELAY IN/OUT
connectors
When you connect multiple CDP-D12s through the RELAY IN/OUT connectors, control signals are sent through the connectors to cause the players to play in sequence.
Connect the RELAY OUT connector of the first player to the RELAY IN connector of the second player using an optional stereo mini plug cable (RK-G136, etc.). Do the same with succeeding players. If you connect all the players in the loop, continuous repeat playback is possible.

Notes
•To do Relay Play properly, two lines of control signals are required. Be sure to use stereo-type mini plug cables for the connections. Using the monaural mini plug cables may result in operation failure.
•Relay Play may not be carried out properly if the cables with resistor are used for connection.
Relay Play
When multiple CDP-D12s are connected as shown above, when playback on the first player ends, control signals are output through the RELAY OUT connector to the RELAY IN connector on the second player and playback on the second player starts to automatically. If the second player is connected a third player via the RELAY IN/OUT connectors, playback on the third player will start when playback on the second player ends, and so on.
Notes
•If one of the players is set to Repeat All Play, Repeat 1 Play, or Repeat A-B Play, no control signals are output from that player and Relay Play ends at that point.
•All of the following conditions must be met on the second and succeeding players in order to perform Relay Play.
—CDs which can be played are inserted in the players.
—Players are stopped.
—Players are not in menu operation.
