4 Setting-up
and Connecting the Unit
The control unit and the player mechanism unit
are provided for mounting into a rack for units
with a width of 482 mm (19"), but they can also
be used as tabletop units. The player mecha-
nism unit must always be operated horizontally
whereas the control unit can be installed as
desired, e. g. also inclined. For rack installation
2 rack spaces each are required for the control
unit and the player mechanism unit (1 RS =
1 rack space = 44.45 mm).
Prior to the connection or changing connections,
switch off the CD-270DJ and the units to be con-
nected.
1) Make the connection between control unit
and player mechanism unit: Connect the two
8-pole mini DIN jacks (21 and 24) on the rear
sides of the units via the supplied mini DIN
cable.
2) Connect the stereo outputs LINE OUT for
player 1 (25) and player 2 (22) via RCA cables
to the CD player inputs at the mixer or ampli-
fier.
3) Finally connect the plug of the mains cable
(23) to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).

the music starts (mostly not at the time
index 0 : 00 : 00 but some frames later,

memorized as the starting point (Auto Cue
point). After starting the title, it is possible to
return to this starting point with the button
CUE (14). After replaying a title, the player is
switched to pause precisely at the spot where
the music of the next title starts. This spot is
then memorized as the new starting point.
