Player with the slide of the fader. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this FADER “Q” START feature.
When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START allows the fader to return automatically to preset digital
CUE POINTS on your compatible American DJ CD Player.
For example, each time you slide the crossfader to far left the CD Player will be triggered to play the
song from the beginning of the preset CUE POINT. Refer to your American DJ CD Player User Manual
for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengaged “Q” Start
