OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

JOG WHEEL SENSITIVITY

The touch sensitivity of the jog wheel can be adjusted to fit the needs and feel of different users. When adjusting the sensitivity, be conscious of extreme settings which may affect your performance. Setting the sensitivity too high would engage the touch sensitivity with the hand just above the wheel. Setting the sensitivity too low may not engage the touch even while pressing firmly on the wheel.

To adjust the jog wheel touch sensitivity, press and hold the PITCH LOCK button while turning either encoder. Release PITCH LOCK when done. Wait at least 3 seconds before powering off the unit.

FACTORY SETTINGS

To return to factory settings… Power off the unit.

Press and hold the CLEAR button as you power up the unit. When the display reads clear ALL, release the CLEAR button.

WARNING: Restoring factory settings will delete cue point memory.

SLEEP

The C.324 will automatically go into sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. Press either the PLAY or CUE button to wake it up.

FADER START

By connecting the CD player to a mixing board that has the fader start feature, the crossfader will engage playback or cue mode depending on its location. If the CD player is connected to the left side of the crossfader, playback will start once the fader is moved from the left most position towards the right. The CD player will re-cue itself when the crossfader is brought back to the left most position. Two CD players can be hooked up in this fashion to work on both sides of the crossfader.

RELAY PLAY USING TWO PLAYERS

When both CD players are connected to each other via their FADER START/RELAY jacks, the players can work in unison by playing tracks one after another from both units.

Set both players to single play mode (the SINGLE indicator will be illuminated in the LCD displays).

Begin playback on the first player.

When the first track ends, playback will automatically start on the second player and the first player will automatically enter standby mode.

When the track on the second player ends, the first player will play the next track. The players will continue to perform continuous relay play until stopped or until the last track is played.

You can set a cue point on the standby player to jump directly to that point.
