Cue up the CD player you wish to start using the Fader Start function B. Move the CROSSFADER all the way to the opposite side of the CD you have just Cued. C. Press the FADER START SELECTOR button so that the button becomes illuminated. D. At the point which you wish to start the audio from the Cued CD, simply move the CROSSFADER in the direction of the Cued CD player, and playback will begin. E. When the CROSSFADER is moved all the way to the opposite side of the currently playing disc, the unit will stop playing that disc and return to the beginning of the track or the set cue point.

VIDEO OUTPUT

VIDEO OUTPUT SECTION has three different video outputs, the CD1 and CD2 outputs will display either CD CHANNEL 1 or CD CHANNEL 2 individually, and the (3) AUTO video outputs will all display the same video signal and are directly connected to the CROSSFADER, so when you move the CROSSFADER to the left the AUTO VIDEO OUTPUTS will display the video signal from CD CHANNEL (1) and when slide the CROSSFADER to the right the AUTO VIDEO OUTPUTS will display the video signal produced by CD CHANNEL (2).
NOTE: THE THREE AUTO VIDEO OUTPUTS ALL DISPLAY THE SAME VIDEO SIGNAL AND ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY THE CROSSFADER
VIDEO SELECT SWITCH: The VIDEO SELECT SWITCH determines which of the VIDEO outputs will be used, in CD1 or CD2 mode it will only activate either one of those outputs individually. In AUTO mode the three AUTO VIDEO OUTPUTS will display either CD1 or CD2 depending on the position of the CROSSFADER.

MIC EFFECT

The MIC EFFECT controls will allow you to add an ECHO/DELAY effect to both MIC CHANNELS at the same time and have three different settings: DELAY: Adjusts the timing of the ECHO and will determine how fast or how slow the ECHO repeats. REPEAT: Adjusts how many times or how Long the ECHO will keep repeating ECHO: Will control the level for this effect in relation to the dry signal from microphone channel (1) and (2)

FADER REPLACEMENT:

1. UNSCREW THE FADER (B) SCREWS. DO NOT TOUCH INSIDE SCREWS (C) CAREFULLY REMOVE OLD CROSS FADER AND UNPLUG CABLE (D) 2. PLUG IN THE NEW CROSS FADER INTO CABLE (D) AND PLACE BACK INTO MIXER. 3. SCREW THE CROSS FADER TO MIXER WITH THE FADER PLATE SCREWS (B) 4. REPLACE THE FACE OF THE MIXER AND SCREW THE FOUR SCREWS BACK IN AND REPLACE THE FADER KNOBS.
CROSS FADER: The CROSS FADER allows you to mix evenly from one source to another. The CROSS FADER on the CDM-3700G is also removable and if the need arises can be replaced.The RG-45 (RAILGLIDE) DUAL-RAIL CROSS FADER, which has internal dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and accurately from end to end can be purchased from your local GEMINI dealer.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If a disc will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc. - If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections, if they are ok, check your amplifier or reciever. -If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many cds are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

- If a disc will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc. - If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections, if they are ok, check your amplifier or reciever. -If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many cds are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
