Pressing the “CUE” button will reset the disc to the last place where the disc was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button and the “CUE” button, the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back cue.

Press the “RELAY” button on both units to activate. 3. We recommend putting both sides in SINGLE play mode while learning this function. 4. Press play on the first unit. When that unit has finished play it will send a signal to the second unit to start play.
AXIS 2 MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM) Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the slider to the “+” side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the “-“ side. The following description is for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
AXIS 2 EXAMPLE OF MIXING USING TWO CD PLAYERS While playing a disc on PLAYER 1 load a disc into PLAYER 2 and select your next track, match its pitch to the track playing on PLAYER1 and when you are ready use the crossfader on your mixer to fade from PLAYER 1 to PLAYER 2.
