MIXER OPERATIONS (FADER START FUNCTION) English FADER START FUNCTION By connecting the optional Pioneer DJ CD Player control cable, the channel fader and cross fader can be used to start CD playback. When the mixer's channel fader lever or cross fader lever are moved, the CD player is released from the pause mode and automatically - and instantly - begins playback of the selected track. Also, when the fader lever is returned to its original position, the CD player returns to its cue point (back cue), thus allowing "sampler" type play. Cross fader start play and back cue play When the CD player assigned to channel 1 is set to standby at a cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the right (2) side toward the left (1) side, automatically starts play on the channel 1 CD player. When the cross fader lever reaches the left (1) side, the CD player assigned to channel 2 goes to back cue (returns to cue point). Also, when the CD player assigned to channel 2 is set to standby at a cue point, moving the cross fader lever from the left (1) side to the right (2) side, automatically starts playback on the channel 2 CD player. When the cross fader lever reaches the right (2) side, the channel 1 CD player goes to back cue (returns to cue point). * The back cue is performed even if the input selector switch is not set to [CD].
