(a) FADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that
also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two CDS-1 players. By moving the
mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDS-1's playback functions. For Example,
when using two CDS-1 units and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, 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. “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this
feature will help you create amazing effects with your music.
(b) FLIP-FLOP: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q”
Start. For FLIP-FLOP results you must use two CDS-1 players. Connect your CDS-1’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.

37, & 38). As with the TIME METER (36, 37, & 38),
this bar is also dependent on the selected time
function (TOTAL REMAIN (32), REMAIN (33) OR
ELAPSE (31). This bar will begin to flash when 15
seconds of a track remain and will begin to rap-
idly 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.
35.TRACK INDICATOR - This double digit indi-
cator details a current track. The number dis-
played in the track indicator is a direct reference
to a track being selected for programming or a
track in play, pause, or cue mode.
36. MINUTES METER - This meter will display
the elapse, total, or remaining time in minutes.
The display time will be indirect reference to the
current time mode.
37. SECONDS METER - This meter will display
the elapse, total, or remaining time in seconds.
The display time will be indirect reference to the
current time mode.
31. ELAPSE INDICATOR - This indicator is in
direct reference to the TIME METER (36, 37, &
38). When the ELAPSE indicator is displayed in
the LCD, the time defined will refer to a single
track's elapsed time. The time mode is changed
by the tapping on the TIME button (17).
38. FRAME METER - This meter will display the
elapse, total, or frames. The displayed frames will
be indirect reference to the current time mode.
32. TOTAL REMAIN INDICATOR - This indica-
tor is in direct reference to the TIME METER (36,
37, & 38). When the TOTAL REMAIN indicator is
displayed in the LCD, the time defined will refer
to a disc's total remaining time. The time mode is
changed by tapping on TIME button (17).
39. SINGLE INDICATOR - This indicates the unit
is in single play mode, the unit will play a single
and return to CUE mode. If the single indicator is
not displayed the unit is in continuous mode. In
continuous mode the drive will play through all
the tracks on the disc. Once all the tracks have
ended the unit will return to cue mode.
33. REMAIN INDICATOR - This indicator is in
direct reference to the TIME METER (36, 37, &
38). When the REMAIN indicator is displayed in
the LCD, the time defined will refer to a single
track's remaining time. The time mode is changed
by tapping on TIME button (17).
40. PITCH METER - This meter displays the

9. CHANGING THE TIME DISPLAY (31, 32, & 33)/TIME BAR (30):
The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal play-
back, pressing the TIME BUTTON (17) as in figure 11, will change the time display information (31, 32, 33, &
30) in the LCD. The following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:
1) ELAPSED (31) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the
current tracks’ elapsed running time. The elapsed function only details a
tracks elapsed time and not the entire disc.
2) REMAIN (33) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the cur-
rent tracks’ remaining running time.
3) TOTAL REMAIN (32) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as
the total disc remaining time.
TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD visually details the time
defined in the TIME METER (36, 37, & 38). This bar is also dependent on
the selected time function (TOTAL REMAIN (32), REMAIN (33) or ELAPSE
(31). 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.

10. 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 16). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The PITCH
SLIDER (19) 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 (19) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16% (See changing
"PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" figure 14/page 16). The pitch adjustments will effect playback, reverse
playback, and loops.
Activating the Pitch Slider (19): To activate the PITCH SLIDER
(19), turn the pitch function on. Press the PITCH BUTTON (21) to turn
on the pitch function, when the pitch function is activated the PITCH
LED (22) will begin to glow. If the pitch function is not activated neither
the PITCH SLIDER (19) nor the PITCH BEND BUTTONS (18) will not
function.
Figure 12
Using the Pitch Slider (19): To use the PITCH SLIDER (19) slide the
slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease
the pitch. The PITCH PERCENTAGE INDICATOR (40) in the LCD (3) will
detail the amount of pitch being applied to the track. When the slider is
in the center position, zero pitch is being applied to the track and the
PITCH PERCENTAGE INDICATOR (40) will read zero.

BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)
Adjusting the Pitch Slider's Range (19): You may change the PITCH
SLIDER'S (19) operating range. To change the operating range be sure
the pitch function is turned on, see figure 12 on the previous page. 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.S. BUTTON (23). The Pitch Select LED (23) will indicated
the current pitch level. Flashing red for +/-8%, off +/-12%, or glowing
solid red for +/-16%. Note, the pitch function must be activated for a
LED reading.
Figure 14
11. PITCH BEND:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. Use the (-) & (+) PITCH BUT-
TONS (18) for this function. The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function
will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (19) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (19) is set
to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of -/+16%
and then return to the original 2% pitch when the button is released.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (18):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (18) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (18) will pro-
vide a slow down. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time either button
is held down. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (18) is held down continuously, the disc speed will
increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain. When you release the (+)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (18) the disc speed will automatially return to it’s previous speed.
c
Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH BEND
BUTTON (18) will provide a speed bump in the
playback pitch.

FLIP-FLOP™
This feature is kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop” mode can only function with the use of two CDS-1 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 (39) should be indicated in the LCD (3).
4) Load your two CDS-1 with audio disc.
5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (8) 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.
To FLIP-FLOP entire CDs:
To FLIP-FLOP an entire disc, be sure both drives are in continuous play mode. The SINGLE ICON
(39) should not be displayed in the LCD (3). 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 CDS-1 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 CDS-1 to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of
American DJ or American Audio “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP!
