(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature “Fader

Q Start” control. Connect your DIGI-PRO’s as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set-up is completed, insert

CD's in to both drives. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your DIGI-PRO playback

functions. For Example, 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 will begin to play and player one will return to cue mode.

When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (will begin to play and player two will return to

its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue points on each side of the CD

player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer crossfader back and forth. New cue points can

be easily selected on the DIGI-PRO player (see setting cue points page 13). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering

this feature will help you create amazing effects with your music. Note for mixers with a Hamster Feature: For proper “Q” Start

operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal Setting).

(b) BOP EFFECT: The Bop Effect button serves two features. First, it is a stutter effect, creating a sound similar to a sampler.

Second, it will return to the last Cue point in memory instantly. This will allow you to create great effects. To create the

BOP Effect, see BOP Effect on page 22.

FLIP-FLOP results you must use two DIGI-PRO players. Connect your DIGI-PRO’s as described in the set-up section of this

manual. This feature will start the next player once one player has ended. For example, if player one is playing a disc and it

ends, player two will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to play track to track or disc to disc. For more information

on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 23.

(d) 60 SECOND TRANSPORT PROTECTION: The CD transport tray will automatically close if left open for more than 60

seconds. If a CD is left in the tray it will immediately cue.

(e) SLEEP MODE: The DIGI-PRO’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.

(f) MEMORY BACKUP: The DIGI-PRO has a five year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case the power

supply is accidentally disconnected. DIGI-PRO will automatically remember your last setting (repeat, SGL, CTN) even if

you disconnect your main power.. The DIGI-PRO will store your cue points in memory if you accidentally open transport

tray or shut off the power. Note: Memory cues are erased automatically when a new CD is played, or by holding memory

button down for 5 seconds.

(g) JOG WHEEL PITCH BEND: During normal playback, the inner jog wheel acts as a momentary pitch bend. Turing

the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase the speed and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will

decrease the speed.

(h) SCRATCH BOX COMPATIBLE: This feature is used in conjunction with the American Audio® Scratch Box.™ mixers that

also feature “Fader Q Start” control. When the DIGI-PRO is used in conjunction with the Scratch Box a turntable may be used

to control the CD functions. See Scratch Box on page 25.

(20 & 21) once will select either a higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (20 & 21)

to change tracks continuously at a higher speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (20 & 21) to select a

new track during playback (a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately begin playback

as soon as the search operation is completed.

4. STARTING PLAYBACK

Insert an audio CD as describe above (loading discs). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (29) with

an audio CD inserted will immediately start playback. The PLAY INDICATOR (53) will glow as soon as

playback begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be stored in the memory

as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at which playback started) when the CUE

BUTTON (27) is pressed.

5. STOPPING PLAYBACK

Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track. There are two

ways to stop playback:

1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (29) during playback to pause at that point.

2) Press the CUE BUTTON (27) during playback to return the track to it’s last cue point.

6. PAUSING

Pausing temporarily stops playback. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (29) changes the operating mode

between play and pause. The PAUSE INDICATOR (54) in the LCD (14) will glow when pause mode is

activated or when a track is in cue mode.

The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal

playback, pressing the TIME BUTTON (5) as in figure 11, will change the time display information (57, 58, & 59)

in the LCD (14). The following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:

1) ELAPSED (56) - This details the time in the LCD (14) as the current tracks’ elapsed running time.

The elapsed function only details a tracks elapsed time and not the entire disc.

2) REMAIN (62) - This details the time in the LCD (57, 58, & 59) as the

current tracks’ remaining running time.

3) TOTAL REMAIN (66) - This details the time in the LCD (14) as the

total disc remaining time.

TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD (14) visually details

the time defined in the TIME METER (57, 58, & 59). This bar is also

dependent on the selected time function TOTAL REMAIN (66), REMAIN

(62) or ELAPSE (56). This bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds

of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three

seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual

reminder a track is about to end. The flashing bar will function

regardless of which time mode the unit is in.

11. PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:

This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change

as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 19). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The PITCH

SLIDER (21) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move 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 (23) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16%

(See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" figure 19/page 20). The pitch adjustments will effect

playback, reverse playback, and loops.

Activating the Pitch Slider (23): To activate the PITCH SLIDER

(23), turn the pitch function on. Press the PITCH BUTTON (7) to turn

on the pitch function, when the pitch function is activated a LED will

begin to glow (or flash depending on what pitch percentage value is

selected, see changing pitch values on page 18). If the pitch function

is not activated neither the PITCH SLIDER (23) nor the PITCH BEND

BUTTONS (15 & 16) will not function.

Figure 12

Using the Pitch Slider (21): To use the PITCH SLIDER (23) slide

the slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will

decrease the pitch. When the slider is in the center position, a green

LED just left of the slider will glow. When this slider LED is glowing

there is zero pitch being applied to a track.

Figure 13

Adjusting the Pitch Slider's Range (21): You may change the PITCH

SLIDER'S (23) operating range. To change the operating range be sure

the pitch function is turned on, see figure 17. The pitch percentage

can be changed between +/-8%, +/-12%, and +/-16%. +/-8% will allow

the least amount of pitch manipulation and +/-16% will allow the most

amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust to the different values tap the

P.SELECT BUTTON (8). The LED beside the PITCH BUTTON (7)

will indicate which pitch percentage mode the unit is operating in.

Glowing green for +/-8%, glowing orange for +/-12%, or glowing red

for +/-16%. Note, the pitch function must be activated to receive a

LED reading.

12. PITCH BEND:

This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate

this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (25) or with the JOG WHEEL (19). The maximum pitch bend

percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER

(23) pitch setting. The PITCH SLIDER (23) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or

+/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 16). For example, if the PITCH

SLIDER (23) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to

the maximum of -/+16%.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (15 & 16):

The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15 & 16) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15)

will provide a slow down. 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 (16) is held down continuously, the disc speed

will increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release

the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (16) the disc speed will automatially return to it’s previous speed.

Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH

BEND BUTTON (16) will provide a speed

bump in the playback pitch.

Holding down or tapping on the

(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15)

will provide a slow down in the

playback pitch.

Figure 16

JOG WHEEL (19):

The JOG WHEEL (19) will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in

play 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 (19) will

determine pitch bend percentage (%).

13. SETTING and STORING a CUE POINT:

Setting A Cue Point:

A cue point is the exact point playback will begin when the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (29) is pressed. A cue point

may be anywhere on a disc or in a track. You may set and store up to five independent cue points per disk.

Four cue points are stored in the CUE MEMORY BUTTONS (6) and one in the IN REAL-TIME CUE BUTTON

(26). Once a cue point is set it may be recalled at any time during normal playback. Figures 18 and 19 will detail

the procedures for setting your custom cue points. There are two ways to set a CUE point:

1) Press the IN REAL-TIME CUE BUTTON (26) on the fly (while a

disc is playing). This will set a CUE Point without music interruption.

Once this point is set, you may return to this point at any time

by pressing either the CUE BUTTON (27) or the RELOOP/BOP

BUTTON (30). Pressing the CUE BUTTON (27) will stop playback

and return the disc in cue mode, pressing the RELOOP/BOP

BUTTON (30) will return the disc to cue point without music

interruption and continue playback from that point.

Figure 18

2) The JOG WHEEL (19) may be used to set a cue point by frame.

While a disc is in pause or cue mode, use the JOG WHEEL (19)

to scroll through a track to find your desired starting point. Once you

have found your desired cue point press the PLAY BUTTON (29) to

enter this point in to the unit's memory. At this point pressing either

the CUE BUTTON (27) or the RELOOP/BOP BUTTON (30) will return

you to this exact point.

Figure 19

Storing A Cue Point: Once you have set a cue point by one of the two means as detailed above, you may

store this point in any one of the CUE MEMORY BUTTONS (6). Once a cue point is stored in to memory it may

be recalled at any time by pressing the cue button it was stored into. A cue point may even be recall if the disc

has been remove or power had been disconnected. To Store a cue point:

FLIP-FLOP™

This feature is kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop” mode can only function with the use of two DIGI-PRO

units. The “Flip-Flop” function may be used with or without an American Audio “Q” deck mixer, you can

have one unit begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip Flop” single tracks, the entire disc,

a combination of the two, or you can even “Flip-Flop” your programmed tracks.

To FLIP-FLOP single tracks or programmed tracks:

1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 6.

2) Set your mixer’s crossfader to the center position.

3) Be sure your two units are single mode. SINGLE (67) should be indicated in the LCD (14).

4) Load your two DIGI-PRO with audio disc.

5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/

PAUSE BUTTON (29) on one of your drive to

begin playback.

6) After the first unit’s single track has ended the

second unit’s track will immediately begin play-

back.

7) FLIP FLOP will continue until you stop it or power

is interrupted.

Figure 35

To FLIP-FLOP entire CDs:

To FLIP-FLOP an entire disc, be sure both drives are in continuous play mode. The SINGLE ICON

(67) should not be displayed in the LCD (14). When both drives are in continuous play mode, follow

the directions for single track FLIP-FLOP as detailed above. When one the disc in one unit ends the

other unit will immediately begin playback.

Combining FLIP-FLOP modes:

Flip-Flop modes may combined. One unit may run in single mode and the other in continuous mode.

When the units are arranged in this fashion, the unit in single mode will play a single track and flip to

the next unit. The next unit will then play the entire disc and flip back to the other. The other will then

play the next track and flip back to the other unit, and so on.

Fader Q-Start™

This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio “Q-Start" DJ mixer. When used

with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD Player with the slide

of the fader.

Connecting your DIGI-PRO to a Fader “Q” Start mixer for “Flip Flop” control: Be sure to connect

1/8” mini plugs from the control connection on the rear your DIGI-PRO to the 1/8” control jack on the

rear of American DJ “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!
