IMPORTANT INFORMATION...
CHECK TO BE SURE
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE IN THIS BOX:
(1) CD MIX-1
(1) OWNERS MANUAL (THIS BOOKLET)
(1) POWER ADAPTER
Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system.
For optimum performance:
a) Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this
will void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction
(usually because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a professional technician.
b) Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections.
c) Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over
50ft/14m) Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or
intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with
readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio
fidelity and punch. See your Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are
not sure which cables to get.
d) Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs other than those described in this manual.
Take the unit to your dealer or to an authorized Numark Service Center.
e) ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or
volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds
before turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.
f) Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage
speakers due to amplifier clipping.
g) Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of
most professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is
distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.
h) To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of
beer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet on top of the unit!

DESCRIPTION CD MIX-1 CD PLAYER FEATURES
LED is lit, then moving the sliding fader. The pitch will
not be changed if the PITCH LED is off.
10. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - 3 forward and 3
reverse speed positions for searching through songs.
The more you turn the wheel in either direction the
faster you search through the music.
11. PITCH BEND/JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) - The jog
wheel serves 2 functions depending on the current
mode.
a) The jog wheel will control a slow frame search
when the CD is not playing. To set a new frame
cue point, spin the wheel then press play when you
have determined the proper position. Press CUE to
return to the “CUE POINT”.
b) When both CD players are playing a CD, the pitch
bend function allows the positioning of the bass
beats to be matched after the pitch of each disc is
matched. Either player can “catch up” or “fall back”
to match the other player. The jog wheel will
1. OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) - Press to
load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close
the disc tray on the transport. NOTE: Tray will not
open unless the disc has been paused. Tray will
automatically close after 30 seconds.
temporarily bend the pitch of the music if the song
is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to
speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. By
changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the
pitch of the other disc, the beats can be matched.
2. TIME (Time Button) - Switches the time display
between elapsed playing time and remaining time on
the track and remaining time on the entire CD.
3. CONT/SING - Will cause just a single track to play or
all tracks in order by pressing once or twice.
12. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during play provides a
return to the position at which play was started. If
PAUSE is used before CUE, that will become the cue
point. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the
CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same
position any number of times. The CUE LED will light
up from the time the CUE button is pressed until the CD
has been reset to the position at which play was
started. Steady lighting of this LED indicates the ready
condition.
4. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they
are occurring, with the CD. These functions are
explained in the next section.
5. TRACK (Track Buttons) - Used to select the track
to be played.
6. Track 10 Button - This button is for quickly
advancing to higher tracks on a CD.
7. PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will
stop and the program indicator will light. Select
each track to be programmed and press the
