Flip-Flop - American Audio DCD-PRO600 Operating Instructions Manual

ADVANCED OPERATIONS

FLIP-FLOP™

This feature is a kind of "auto pilot. " "Flip-Flop" mode can only function with the both sides of the
DCD-PRO600. The "Flip-Flop" function may be used with or without an American Audio
DJ "Q" deck mixer. With "Flip-Flop" 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 DCD-PRO600 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.
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.
