 BUILT-IN EffECTS
The Radius 1000™ comes with eight built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you 
may choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch, 
Filter, Echo, Trans, Skid, Phase, Flanger, and Pan. You can choose to use the effects with their default 
parameters or you may choose to customize each effect by changing the parameters. The parameter 
values  for  all  the  effects  will  range.  Some  effects  will  have  more  adjustable  parameters  than  oth-
ers. The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PT (Parameter Time). All 
parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off!

SCRATCH  &  SKID  EFFECT:  The  Scratch Effect  simulates  real  time 
turntable scratching. When the Scratch Effect is activated the SCRATCH 
LED will flash blue. Once the Scratch Effect has been activated the jog 
Wheel (9) may be used in the same fashion a turntable platter is used. 
Use the jog  Wheel (9) to simulate the scratch motion on a turntable 
platter  and  to  manipulate  playback.  When  the  skid  effect  is  activated 
the  SKID  LED  will  flash  blue.  Both  the  Skid  and  Scratch  time  param-
eters can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest 
Skid times. The Skid value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.

 fLIp-fLOp™
Sample "Q" Start Set-Up. This set-up will allow "Q" start function and Flip-Flop™ function to operate. 
Be sure to use 1/8" mono mini plugs only.
fLIp-fLOp™
This feature is a kind of “auto pilot”. When you are using two Radius 1000™ players and an American Audio® 
“Q” Deck™ mixer, you can have one player begin playback when the other ends. You can “Flip-Flop™” single 
tracks, the entire disc, or a combination of the two. 
To FLIP-FLOP™ single tracks:
1) Connect your system as described in the connection section on page 8.
2)  Set your American Audio® “Q” Deck™ mixer’s crossfader to the center     
 position. 
3) Set your two Radius 1000s™ to playback in single mode, Single (53)     
 should be indicated in the Vfd (2). 
4) Load your two Radius 1000s™ with audio discs.
5) After they have both cued, press the play/pauSe  Button (13) on one    
 player 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 (53) does not appear in the Vfd's 
(2) 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  continuous  playback  modes  by  selecting  either  single  or 
continuous playback on your units.
Connecting  your  Radius  1000™  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 
Radius 1000™ to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of American Audio® “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set 
for FLIP-FLOP.™
