7 Long Mix Play

If the BPM rates match, mixing of tracks A and B will
sound good even if the CROSS FADER slider is in the
middle position.

7 Fader Start Play

Using the cross fader start function of the DJ Mixer
DJM-500 or DJM-300, step 10 above can be elimi-
nated for even simpler mixing. In addition, when the
CROSS FADER slider is returned to its original posi-
tion, the status returns to that in step 9 (player CD-2
at its cue point), so that you can repeat the same play
as many times as you like.
