To  FLIP-FLOP  an  entire  disc,  be  sure  both  drives  are  in  continuous  play  mode.  The  SINGLE  ICON 
(39) should not be displayed in the  LCD (3). 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. 
Fader Q-Start™
This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio “Q-Start" DJ mixer. When used 
with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD Player with the slide 
of the fader. 
Connecting your CDS-1 to a Fader “Q” Start mixer for “Flip Flop” control: Be sure to connect 1/8” 
mini plugs from the control connection on the rear your CDS-1 to the 1/8” control jack on the rear of 
American DJ or American Audio “Q” series mixer. That’s it, you’ll be set for FLIP FLOP! 
 ADVANCED OPERATIONS
FLIP-FLOP™
This feature is kind of “auto pilot." “Flip-Flop”  mode can only function with the use of two CDS-1 units. 
The “Flip-Flop”  function  may  be  used  with  or  without  an  American  Audio  “Q”  deck  mixer,  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 (39) should be indicated in the LCD (3). 
4) Load your two CDS-1 with audio disc.
5)  After they have both cued, press the  PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (8) 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.
