DJ Mixer DJM-300 or DJM-500 8. Move the TEMPO slider to match the tempo (BPM=beats per minute) of tracks A and B. 1 The DJ mixer displays the track's BPM (in numbers). ÷ For details regarding the operation of the DJ Mixer, consult the Operating Instructions accompanying the DJ Mixer. 2 Move the TEMPO slider of player CD-2 so that the BPM of track B match those of track A. ÷ When the two BPM rates match, the BPM synchronization is complete. 9. Press the CUE button on player CD-2. ÷ Player CD-2 will enter standby mode at the cueing point. 10.As soon as track A is heard from the speakers, press the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) on player CD-2. ÷ Track B begins playing. 11. While checking the sound on the headphones, gradually move the DJ Mixer's CROSS FADER slider from left to right. ÷ The sound of track A from the speakers will steadily become mixed with the sound of track B. ÷ When the DJ Mixer's CROSS FADER slider has moved all the way to the right side, the sound heard from the speaker will have changed from track A to track B, and the operation is complete. 7 Long Mix Play If the BPM rates match, mixing of tracks A and B will sound good even if the CROSS FADER slider is in the middle position. 7 Fader Start Play Using the cross fader start function of the DJ Mixer DJM-500 or DJM-300, step 10 above can be eliminated for even simpler mixing. In addition, when the CROSS FADER slider is returned to its original position, the status returns to that in step 9 (player CD-2 at its cue point), so that you can repeat the same play as many times as you like. 13 En
