4%, 8% and 16%: Use the 4%, 8% and 16% (22) buttons to assign the
percent the pitch control slide will have. The 4% button will assign +/-
4% to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (20). The 8% button will assign +/-
8% to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (20). The 16% button will assign +/-
16% to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (20). The PITCH (19) must be ON
for the 4%, 8% and 16% (22) buttons to work.
INSERT: Set a cue point (using the CUE (15), FLY CUE (14) or SEARCH
JOG WHEEL (10). From this cue point you will be able to sample up to
10 seconds of a musical phrase or sound. When you push and hold the
INSERT (23) button you will be able to insert that phrase or sound at
any spot in the music that is currently playing, replacing what is playing
in that spot with up to 10 seconds of the piece you have sampled.
When you release the INSERT (23) button the music will continue
uninterrupted.
NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY USE YOUR "SAMPLE" WITH YOUR CURRENT
CD. ONCE YOU OPEN THE DISC TRAY TO CHANGE CDS, YOUR
"SAMPLE" WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DELETED.
DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD
DRIVE, or other such items which accept digital signals to the BNC
(24) output connector on the rear panel of your CDX-802 allows you
to record a digital signal from CD.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (1), found on the
rear panel, is set for the proper voltage. Plug the unit in and press the
POWER SWITCH (2). The unit is ON. Pushing POWER (1) a second
time turns the unit OFF.
2. Press OPEN/CLOSE (4) and place a CD in the DISC TRAY (5). Press
OPEN/CLOSE (4) again. The tray will close.
3. Push TRACK SKIP (9) to select the track you wish to play.
4. Press PLAY/PAUSE (8) and the unit will instantly play.
FLY CUE & CUE INSTRUCTIONS:
The FLY CUE (14) function lets you set cues "on the fly" with the press
of a button. Press FLY CUE (14) when the disc reaches the musical
location you wish to make your cue or start point. The cue point is now
programmed. Press CUE (15) to return to the cue point. Press PLAY/
PAUSE (8) and the unit instantly starts from this pre-programmed spot.
AND/OR:
1. To pre-program a cue point (the spot on a CD at which you want play to
start) select the proper track and push PLAY/PAUSE (8) so the unit
enters the PLAY mode (PLAY/PAUSE LED glows green). When the CD
reaches the approximate musical spot you wish to make your cue, push
PLAY/PAUSE (8) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE LED
blinks). Move the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (10) forward or in reverse until
the precise spot at which you want CD play to begin is located. Push
PLAY/PAUSE (8). The cue point is now programmed. Press CUE (15) to
return to this pre-programmed cue point at any time. Push PLAY/PAUSE
(8) and the unit will instantly play from the pre-selected spot.
2. To fine tune your pre-programmed cue point, push PLAY/PAUSE (8)
so the unit enters the PLAY mode. Push the CUE button (15) and the
CD will return to the cue point you programmed in step #1 and begin play
from that point. If you decide this cue or starting point is okay, leave the
unit alone until you are ready to play.
3. If, however, the selected spot is not exactly where you want it, push
the CUE (15) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to
the pre-programmed cue point. Locate the exact spot on the CD at
which you want play to start by turning the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (10).
Push PLAY/PAUSE (8) to pre-program this new cue point. Press the
CUE (15) button to pause play at the new cue point. Push PLAY/
PAUSE (8) at any time and the unit will play from the pre-selected spot.
ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS:
IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:
Use ROBO START (25) in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play
between the CDX-802's two CD players (one track from one side, then
one from the other). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts
immediately with no blank or "dead" space. ROBO START (25) causes
one side of the CD player to play when the other side is paused.
1. Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/
CONTINUOUS (18) button .
2. Press the ROBO START (25) button to activate ROBO START (25). Play
will alternate between the two CD players. At the end of a track, the
playing side pauses and the other CD deck plays a track. At the end of
this track, the playing side pauses and the first CD deck resumes play.
IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:
If you use the ROBO START (25) function without SINGLE-AUTO CUE
MODE (in CONTINUOUS MODE or during normal play), CD deck play does
not alternate automatically. The PLAY/PAUSE (8) button must be pressed
on the playing deck for the second deck to play.
1. During normal play, set a cue point on the second CD deck.
2. Press the ROBO START (25) button to activate ROBO START.
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE (8) button on the playing side to start play
from the cue point on the other CD deck.
NOTE: PAUSING PLAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRACK CAUSES THE
OTHER CD DECK TO PLAY. WHEN THE NEW TRACK ENDS, PLAY
RESUMES ON THE FIRST CD PLAYER FROM THE POINT AT WHICH
IT WAS PAUSED.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

• If a disk will not play, check to see that it was loaded correctly (label side up)
and that the CD unit is on a flat, level, stable surface. Check disc for dirt,
scratches, spills, etc.
• If the disc spins but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are
okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
• If the CD skips, check it for dirt, oil or scratches. Do not assume
that the CD player or laser is defective. Many CDs are recorded "out of spec" and
skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit to an authorized Gemini
service technician, insert a disc that plays properly in another unit.
