(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ®

audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) CDI-300™

players. Connect your CDI-300’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is completed load

your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDI-300™ playback

functions. For Example, when using two (2) CDI-300™ players and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, if your mixer’s cross

fader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at

least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to cue mode. When the cross

fader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two (2) will return

to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each

side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back

and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the CDI-300™ player (see setting cue points page 16). “Q”

Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note:

For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal Setting).

(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For

FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) CDI-300™ players. Connect your CDI-300’s as described in the set-up

section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if player

one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to play track

to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 25.

(c) MEMORY BACKUP: The CDI-300™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the

power supply is accidentally disconnected. CDI-300™ will remember your last setting even if you disconnect your

main power. The CDI-300™ will store your cue points and samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or

shut off the power. See memory on page 21.

(d) PROGRAMMABLE CUE POINTS: The CDI-300™ has four BANK BUTTONS (4). 127 Cue points can be stored in

each of the BANK BUTTONS (4), for a total of 381. These cue points can be stored into the unit's internal memory

and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 16

(e) FLASH START FUNCTION: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American DJ®

audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. This function work similar to the Fader "Q" Start Control

described above. In this case the crossfader is used to start and stop any sample that is stored in the players

memory.

(f)

SLEEP MODE: The CDI-300's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity (when in

pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just press the

cue or play buttons.
