GROUNDING OR POLARIzATION

If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure

A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause each players playback functions. For Example, when using the CK 800Mp3 player, if your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play. When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD player, different songs may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the CK 800Mp3 player (see setting cue points page 19). “Q”

Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music.

(b) RELAY (FLIP-FLOP): Connect your CK 800Mp3 player as described in the set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set RELAY to play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see RELAY (FLIP-FLOP™) on page 25.

(c) SLEEP mODE: The CK 800Mp3's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity

(when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just press the cue or play buttons.

PITCH ADJUSTmENTS

PITCH ADJUSTmENTS:

You can activate the pItch SlIder (4) by pressing the pItch on/off Button (5). When the button LED is lit, the pItch SlIder is active and the pitch can be adjusted. When the button LED is not lit pItch SlIder is not active. The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be manipulated. This speed manipulation is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources such as a turntable or another CD player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-16. The next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes.

1. PITCH SLIDER (4):

This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH."

The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-100%. The

pItch SlIder (4) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is moved up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase.

The pItch SlIder adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%, or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCEnTAGE RAnGE" on the next page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when the pItch on/off Button (5) is turned on.

Figure 21

Activating the PITCH SLIDER (4): To activate the pItch SlIder you must turn on the pitch adjustment function. Press the on/off Button (5) located at the top right of the unit. The on/off Button (5) LED will glow when the function is activated. If the pitch function is not activated the pItch

SlIder will not function.

Figure 22

Using the PITCH SLIDER (4): Be sure the pitch function has been activated as described above. To use the pItch SlIder slide the slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch.

Figure 23

Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (6): You may change the

pItch SlIder'S (5) operating range at any time. To change the operating range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 33. The pitch percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different ranges, press the

pItch on/off Button (5) and tap on the pItch range Button (6) until your desired value is reached, see figure 24.

Figure 24

2. PITCH BENDING:

Unlike the pItch SlIder (4) adjustment t his function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) pItch Bend ButtonS (7) or with the jog Wheel (9). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the pItch SlIder (4) pitch setting. For example, if the pItch SlIder (4) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi ll continue to the maximum of + /- 16%.

Holding down or tapping on the (-)

pItch Bend Button (7) will provide a slow down in the playback pitch.

Figure 25

Holding down or tapping on the (+)

pItch Bend Button (7) will provide a speed bump in the playback pitch.

Figure 26

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (7):

The (+) pItch Bend Button (7) will increase track playback speed and the (-) pItch Bend Button (7) will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) pItch Bend Button (7) is held down continuously as in figure

26, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain.

When you release the (+) pItch Bend Button (7) the disc speed will automati c ally return to it’s previous set speed.

3. JOG WHEEL (9):

The jog Wheel will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode

Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will slow your track pitch.

The speed you rotate the jog Wheel will determine pitch bend percentage

(%). For example, if the jog Wheel is continuously turned in a counterclockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will continue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and playback stops entirely. When you stop turning the jog Wheel the disc speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed.
