18.FLIP-FLOP™
This feature is kind of “auto pilot”. When you are using two PRO DJ3 players and an
American DJ “Q” deck mixer, you can have one player begin playback when the
other ends. You can “Flip Flop” single tracks, the entire disc, a combination of the two (2) or you can even
FLIP FLOP your programmed tracks.
To Flip-FLOP single tracks or programmed tracks:
1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 3.
2) Set your mixer’s crossfader to the center position.
3) Set your two (2) PRO DJ3 to playback in SINGLE MODE (5), SINGLE (34)
should be indicated in the LCD DISPLAY (21).
4) Load your two (2) PRO DJ3 with audio disc.
5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/pause button (9) on one (1) of your drive to begin playback.
6) After the first player’s single track has ended the second player’s track will immediately begin playback.
7) FLIP FLOP will continue until you stop it or power is interrupted.
To Flip Flop entire CDs:
Be sure your drives are both in continuous play mode, make sure SINGLE MODE (1) is NOT LIT on both play-
ers LCD DISPLAY (21). Follow all directions for single track flip flopping above. When one player’s disc ends
the other player will immediately begin playback.
Note: You may combine FLIP FLOP single and continuously playback modes by selecting either single or con-
tinuous playback on your units.
Connecting your PRO DJ3 to a Fader “Q” Start mixer for “Flip Flop” control: Be sure to connect 1/8” mini
plugs from the control connection on the rear your PRO DJ3 to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American DJ
“Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!
Beat matching is the act of finding the BPM’s (beats per a minute) of two different song, playing on two (2) sep-
arate players and matching them together. After you have matched the BPM’s you use your mixer to fade the
volume in and out of one song to the next without music interruption and keeping the same beat.
