through the current track. If in PLAY mode and the SEARCH mode is not activated the JOG WHEEL
(16) will act as a PITCH BEND.
- When in PAUSE mode, you can use the JOG WHEEL (16) to search, backward or forward through
the current track. If the SEARCH button is activated you can search fast through the track, if the but-

18. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON - Each press of the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (18) causes the operation to
change from play to pause or from pause to play. While in play mode the green LED will glow, and
while in pause mode the green LED will flash.

Example: Be sure the Fader Start feature is activated on both players. Slide the crossfader to
the player 1 position (full left) and begin playback on player 1. Slide the crossfader to the play-

player 1 to cue mode. To return to normal fader operation turn the FADER START SWITCHES
to the OFF position.
21. CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels A and B together.
When the fader is in the full left position (channel A), the output signal of channel A will be controlled
by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel B. Sliding the fader from
one position to another will vary the output signals of channels A and B respectively. When the cross-
fader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels A and channels B will be
even.
