MIXER OPERATIONS (FADER START FUNCTION)
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].
[Using the Channel Fader to Start Playback]

CD player to standby at the cue point.
5. At the instant you wish to start playback, move the
channel fader lever.
¶ CD player begins playback.
¶ After playback has begun, if the channel fader lever is returned
to its minimum position, the CD player returns to the cue point
and reenters standby mode (back cue).

[THRU], the cross fader control is enabled and channel fader
cannot be used for control.
