These cue points may be recalled at any time, even when a disc has been removed and reinserted at a later time. To recall the memory on a specific disc; 1) Be sure a CD is not loaded in to the drive. 2) Press the MEMORY BUTTON (13) down until the red memory LED turns on. 3) Insert the CD. "RECALL" will appear in the LCD (21) while the memory is being installed and the red MEMORY BUTTON (13) LED will turn off. 18. FIRMWARE VERSION DISPLAY: You may display the units firmware version. Firmware is the units internal programming code. To view the firm- ware version; While main power is turned off, turn the SEARCH KNOB (21) in a clockwise direction. While the search knob is turned in a clockwise direction turn main power on. The firmware version will appear in the LCD (22), as long as the search knob is held in the clockwise position. 17. CLEAR ALL MEMORY: You may clear the system memory at any time. This will erase all your programmed memory and restore the unit to it's default settings. To clear the memory; While main power is turned off, turn the SEARCH KNOB (20) in a counter-clockwise direction. While the search knob is turned in a counter-clockwise direction turn main power on. The LCD (22) will flash three times and default memory will be restored. 15. SYSTEM MEMORY: The CDI-300 comes with an incredible memory system. The unit can memorize all cue points, and samples used on a particular disc. To store all your setting for a CD, press and hold down the MEMORY BUTTON (13) for at least three seconds.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS ©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - CDI-300™ Instruction Manual Page 22 1. PITCH SLIDER (33): This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH." The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-100%. The PITCH SLIDER (5) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is moved 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 adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, or +/-100% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (3) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will not affect your samples. Figure 31 Figure 33 Figure 32 Using the Pitch Slider (5): Be sure the pitch function has been activated as described above. To use the PITCH SLIDER slide the slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch. Activating the Pitch Slider (5): To activate the PITCH SLIDER you must turn on the pitch adjustment function. Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (3) located at the top right of the unit. The ON/OFF BUTTON (3) LED will glow when the function is activated. If the pitch function is not activated the PITCH SLIDER will not function. AUTO BPM COUNTER/PITCH ADJUSTMENTS: You can activate the AUTO BPM counter by pressing the BPM/PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (3) for at least 3 seconds. When the button LED is lit, the PITCH SLI DER is active and the pitch can be adjusted. When the button LED is not lit. the AUTO BPM counter is active and the PITCH SLI DER is not active. The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be manipulated. This speed manipulation is com - monly used to beat match between two or more music sources such as a turntable or another CD player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-100. The next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes. �������������������� �������������������� ��������������������
PITCH ADJUSTMENTS ©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - CDI-300™ Instruction Manual Page 23 2. PITCH BENDING: Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (5) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (7) or with the JOG WHEEL (9) . The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (5) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (5) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi ll continue to the maximum of +/- 100%. NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely. Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) will provide a speed bump in the playback pitch. Holding down or tapping on the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) will provide a slow down in the playback pitch. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (7): The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) is held down continuously as in figure 36, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (7) the disc speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed. Figure 34 Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (5): You may change the PITCH SLIDER'S (5) operating range at any time. To change the operating range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 33. The pitch per- centage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/- 100%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different ranges, press the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (3) and tap on the PITCH RANGE BUT- TON (1) until your desired value is reached, see figure 34.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS ©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - CDI-300™ Instruction Manual Page 24 Figure 37 3. JOG WHEEL (10): The JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will slow your track pitch. The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL will determine pitch bend percentage (%). For example, if the JOG WHEEL is continuously turned in a counter- clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will con - tinue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and playback stops entirely. When you stop turning the JOG WHEEL the disc speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed. ��������������������
©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - CDI-300™ Instruction Manual Page 25 FLIP-FLOP™ This feature is a kind of “auto pilot”. When you are using two CDI-300™ players and an American Audio® “Q” Deck™ mixer, you can have one player begin playback when the other ends.

To FLIP-FLOP™ single tracks: 1) Connect your system as described in the set up section on page 8. 2) Set your American Audio® “Q” Deck™ mixer's crossfader to the center position. 3) Set your two CDI-300s™ to playback in single mode, SINGLE (42) should be indicated in the LCD (22). 4) Load your two CDI-300s™ with audio discs. 5) After they have both cued, press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON ( 14) on one play- er to begin playback. 6) After the first player’s single track has ended the second player’s track will immediately begin playback. 7) FLIP-FLOP™ will continue until you stop it or power is interrupted. To Flip-Flop entire CDs: Be sure your players are both in continuous play mode, make sure SINGLE MODE (42) does not appear in the LCDS (22) of both players. Follow all directions for single track FLIP-FLOP™ above. When one player’s disc ends the other player will immediately begin playback. Note: You may combine FLIP-FLOP™ single and continuously playback modes by selecting either single or continuous playback on your units. Connecting your CDI-300™ to an American Audio® or an American DJ® “Q” Deck™ mixer for “Flip-Flop™” control: Be sure to connect 1/8” mono mini plugs from the control connection on the rear of your CDI-300™ to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American Audio® “Q” series mixer.
