PROGRAM 

FUNCTIONS 

     PLEASE 

READ!!!! 

 

This button provides several programmable functions depending upon the combination of buttons used.  

Track Sequence Programming

 - Depress 

 while the unit is stopped and “ 

 ” will light.  Select each track to be 

programmed then press 

 between selections.  Press “PLAY/STUTTER” to start the track sequence program playing.  To exit and 

erase program hold 

 for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off the power. 

The following functions will work by pressing 

 followed by appropriate function while still holding the program button: 

Effect Options - 

pressing program with an effect button will offer alternative options to that effect.  In the case of the “SCRATCH” 

effect the display will toggle between “ 

 ” and “ 

 ”.  Not all effects offer options.  More information on these options 

is available in the effects section of this manual.

 

End of track dead space elimination

 – this will give and option for eliminating the dead space at the end of tracks.  The unit already 

automatically removes dead space at the beginning of tracks. End of track dead space elimination is useful if you are playing a CD 

continuously and want to eliminate all the gaps between songs.   The display will indicate “ 

 ” when the function is set to 

eliminate space and indicates “ 

 “ when the unit is left to leave the natural space between tracks.  

This setting will be 

remembered at power down.

 

Cueing Style Selection

 – this will alternate the jog wheel cue function from a smooth “scratch” sound to the tradition “stutter” sound 

modes during cue operations.  The display will indicate “ 

 ” when the “scratch” style is active.  This indication will go 

away when the style of cue is stutter. 

This setting will be remembered at power down. 

Brake Speed 

– this allows you to adjust the speed of ‘PAUSE”, or braking.  Press “PAUSE” then rotate the wheel until the desired 

seconds of startup are shown.  Pressing “PAUSE” twice will toggle startup from “ 

 ” to the desired seconds. 

Startup Speed

 – this allows you to adjust the startup speed of initial play.  Press “PLAY/STUTTER” then rotate the wheel until the 

desired seconds of startup are shown.  The “STUTTER” function will not be affected.  Pressing “PLAY/STUTTER” twice will toggle 
startup between “ 

 ” and the desired seconds. 

Relay time

 – this gives options for the amount of time used for relaying between tracks on two connected units. Options will appear to 

relay immediately after the track (0), with time added of 1, 2, or 3 seconds (1,2,3), or a reduction of 1,2, or 3 seconds (-1,-2,-3).  By 

reducing time the attached CD player will start playing before the end of a track, creating an automatic segue. 

This feature will also 

work in track sequence program mode; however, if the units are also in SINGLE mode the same number of tracks programmed 

should be the same.  Play will stop at the end of the last track.  This setting will be remembered at power down. 

Remote Start 

– The sets the mode for the “remote” jack on the rear of the unit.  Details can be found in the relay and remote start 

sections of this manual.

 

Automatic door close protection

 – this option automatically closes the door at the specified time. The display will indicate 30 

seconds, 60 seconds, 120 seconds, and (no) for no auto close.  

This setting will be remembered at power down.

 

Digital Output

 – This actives digital output and allows digital audio information to be extracted from the unit.  Some tracks also have 

other information encoded in the original audio output such as CDG graphic CDs for Karaoke.    

– 

*Please see Specifications Page 19 

for important manufacturer information

.    

Smart Looping

 – When active the display will indicate “ 

 ” and all looping and stuttering will follow the beat of the music 

based upon the Beatkeeper information. 

Sleep Mode 

– The unit will automatically enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of inactivity.  In this mode the unit will still start instantly 

from buffer, however, the laser will turn off to extend it’s life.  If this feature is undesirable, then it can be turned off. 

This setting will be 

remembered at power down.
