MAIN FEATURES
(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used with American DJ mixers also featuring
Fader “Q” Start. Connect the supplied mini plugs from Disc 1 output on CD player to the “A”

output on CD player to the “B” player control input on the rear of mixer. By moving the mixer
fader from left to right you can start and pause Disc 1 and Disc 2 respectively. In other words,
when the cross-fader of the mixer is to the left, and you move it 20% to the right, Disc 2 will begin
to play. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, Disc 1 will begin
to play. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature.
