Connections and System Controls
POWER
MAIN POWER RECEPTACLE (1): This is a Standard 3-prong
IEC power connector. Connect the detachable line cord (includ-
ed in the box with your CDMP-1400 to the power receptacle,
and plug the other end of the line cord into an AC outlet. The
CDMP-1400 has a universal power supply that can accept any
AC voltage from 100 VAC to 240 VAC. No need for voltage se-
lect switches. It will work virtually anywhere in the world. It is
less susceptible to voltage sags or spikes than conventional
power supplies, providing greater electro magnetic isolation
and better protection against AC line noise.
OUTPUT
LINE/ REC OUTPUT JACKS (2): Plug one end of the RCA cable
into LINE/ REC output jacks on the rear panel. Plug the other
end of the RCA connectors into any available LINE/ REC IN in-
put jacks on your mixer. If you are connecting the CDMP-1400
through a receiver, you can plug the RCA connectors into the
CD or AUX INPUT JACKS on your receiver. If there are no CD
or AUX INPUTS use any line level inputs.
BALANCED XLR (3) outputs: The back of the unit also contains
a pair of standard 3-pin XLR outputs that accept a balanced
female XLR connector. Pin 1 = shield/ground, pin 2 = hot or
positive (+) and pin 3 = cold or negative (-) for pro installations.
*Note: both RCA and XLR can be used at the same time.
INPUT
XLR MIC IN (4): On the rear of the unit is an XLR input jack that
accepts a balanced male connector. Pin 1 = shield/ground, pin
2 = hot or positive (+) and pin 3 = cold or negative (-).
1/4” (6.35mm) MIC INPUT (5): The front of the unit houses a
1/4” (6.35mm) input jack that allows a signal to come in through
the front of the machine.
FUNCTIONS
POWER (6): Once all cables are connected, the CDMP-1400
can be turned on by pressing the POWER button. Pressing the
CDMP-1400’s POWER button a second time will turn off the
unit.
DISC SLOT (7): The DISC SLOT is where the CD is load-
ed, unloaded and stored during playback. It holds both
12 cm and 8cm CDs and reads WAV as well as MP3
files. (DO NOT FORCE THE CD IN THE SLOT. EXCE-
SIVE FORCE WILL DAMAGE THE CD MECHANISM.)
EJECT (8): Pressing the EJECT button will eject the CD from the
DISC SLOT (7). If a CD is playing, you must press the PLAY/
PAUSE (19) button before ejecting your disc.
FOLDER TRACK SEARCH (9): The FOLDER TRACK SEARCH
allows you to navigate through folders or tracks similarly in ei-
ther USB or CD mode.
When navigating a standard CD turn the knob to the right to
advance the selection, or turn the rotary to the left to decrease
the selection.
The ROTARY knob also allows you to search through music
libraries on your MP3, CD, or USB memory stick. Rotate the
knob until you have reached the folder you wish to explore
(folders will be identified by a (+) sign before and after their
name for example: +DANCE MUSIC+). If you have not created
a folder the song (track), files will appear with just the name of
the file which will scroll once across the display when selected,
then hold for easier viewing of track titles.
When you have reached the desired folder, press the FOLDER
TRACK SEARCH knob to open it, or when you have reached
the desired track, press the FOLDER TRACK SEARCH knob to
load it. If the unit is in SINGLE mode, the track will load and the
PLAY/PAUSE button will flash indicating that the song is ready
for PLAY. If you are in CONTINUOUS mode, the desired track
will start playing immediately.
Once a song/track is playing you may once again navigate
through your folders and tracks by simply turning the FOLDER
TRACK SEARCH knob. The display will go back to the last
song or folder you were viewing. You may then navigate from
that point until you find your next song. The display will show
your choice for 10 SECONDS then go back to the song infor-
mation of the song playing.
If you wish to go back and LOAD the song you chose, simply
PRESS THE KNOB TWICE, ONCE for the display to go back to
the last song VIEWED and SECOND to LOAD that song. You
can also search from that point as well. *NOTE: ONCE YOU
HAVE SKIPPED TO ANOTHER TRACK, YOU MAY NOT GO
BACK TO YOUR PROGRAMMED CUE POINT. YOU MUST
BEGIN YOUR CUE SELECTION OVER AGAIN. THE CUE WILL

track. Time is measured in minutes, seconds and frames.
TIME (12): The TIME button switches the time display be-
tween two available sources: TIME ELAPSED on the track and
TIME REMAINING on the track. TIME ELAPSED indicates how
much time has currently gone by since the play button was
pressed and TIME REMAINING ON TRACK counts down the
time that is left before the end of the track.
