CHANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its particular channel. FADER CURVE SWITCH - This switch is used to change the way the crossfader will operate. The crossfader can operate in two different modes, NORMAL CURVE and QUICK CURVE (Quick Curve is usually used for crabbing). Q-START ON/OFF SWITCH - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ "Q" Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD play. The ON/OFF "Q" START (8) switch activates the fader "Q" start feature. When the fader "Q" start feature is activated sliding the CROSSFADER (14) from left to right will play or cue any CD player connected to the controller jacks (16) on the rear of the unit. For example, connect a compatible dual CD player connect to mixer channels one and two (refer to your CD player manual for proper set-up). Be sure the Fader "Q" Start feature is activated on both channels. Slide the crossfader to the channel one position (full left) and begin playback on CD drive one. This will immediately trigger the play function on CD drive two and return CD drive one to cue mode.

Before main power is applied, be sure you have made all connections to the mixer. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume).
