(a) fADER “Q” START CONTROL: This feature is used in conjunction with most American Audio® and American  
DJ® audio mixers that also feature “Fader Q Start” control. For best results use this feature with two (2) CDI-500  
Mp3™ players. Connect your Radius 1000 as described in the set-up section of this manual. After set up is com-  
pleted load your players. By moving the mixer’s crossfader from left to right you can start and pause your CDI-500  
Mp3™ playback functions. For Example, when using two (2) Radius 1000™ players and a Fader “Q” Start mixer, if  
your mixer’s crossfader is all the way to the left (player one is playing, player two is in cue or pause mode), and you  
move the fader at least 20% to the right, player two (2) will begin to play and player one (1) will return to cue mode.  
When the crossfader is to the right, and you move it 20% to the left, player one (1) will begin to play and player two  
(2) will return to its’ cue point. You can create great effects similar to scratching with this feature. After storing cue  
points on each side of the CD player, different songs or samples may quickly be recalled by moving the mixer  
crossfader back and forth. New cue points can be easily selected on the Radius 1000™ player (see setting cue  
points page 17). “Q” Start control is easy to use and mastering this feature will help you create amazing effects  
with your music. Note: For proper “Q” Start operation be sure your mixers “Hamster” setting are set to 1/2 (Normal  
Setting). Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.  
(b) fLIp-fLOp: This feature is used in conjunction with American Audio® mixers that also feature Fader “Q” Start. For  
FLIP-FLOP results you must use two (2) Radius 1000™ players. Connect your Radius 1000’s as described in the  
set-up section of this manual. This feature will start the next player once one (1) player has ended. For example, if  
player one (1) is playing a disc and it ends, player two (2) will instantly begin to play. You may set FLIP-FLOP to  
play track to track or disc to disc. For more information on this feature, see FLIP-FLOP™ on page 38.  
Important: When Bank Button LED is flashing, the unit will return to the bank in point.  
(c) mEmORY BACkUp: The Radius 1000™ has a five (5) year memory back-up, that will save your setting in case  
the power supply is accidentally disconnected. Radius 1000™ will remember your last setting (SGL, CTN, and  
effect parameters) even if you disconnect your main power. The Radius 1000™ will store your cue points and  
samples in memory if you accidentally eject a disc or shut off the power. See memory on page 26.  
(d) pROgRAmmABLE CUE pOINTS: The Radius 1000™ has three Bank ButtonS (26). 500 Cue points can be  
stored in each of the Bank ButtonS (26), for a total of 1500. These cue points can be stored into the unit's inter-  
nal memory and may be recalled at any time. See setting "Cue Points" on page 20.  
(e) SLEEp mODE: The Radius 1000's laser and pick-up assembly will power down after 15 minutes of inactivity  
(when in pause or cue mode). This will lengthen the life of your motor drive and laser. To initialize the player, just  
press the cue or play buttons.

gENERAL fUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS (Cont.)  
A. TOp UNIT CONTROLS (fIgURE 3)  
1. EJECT fUNCTION - Pressing this will eject the CD. The eject function will only when the unit is in  
cue or pause mode, this is to prevent accidentally ejecting the disc when in play mode.  
2. VfD DISpLAY - This high quality VFD display indicates all the functions, as they are occurring.  
The display ICONS will be explained in the section C.  
3. pITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a set  
adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved or the pitch function has been turned  
off. This adjustment can be made with or without a disc in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain  
even if a disc has been removed and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the player. That is to  
say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and load another, that disc too will have a  
+2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the Vfd (2).  
4. mIDI BUTTON - Press this button to activate MIDI mode.  
5. (-) pITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the  
CD’s BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between  
two playing CD’s or other playing music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you  
remove your finger from the pitch button, the BPM’s will automatically return to pitch Slider'S (3)  
pitch value Holding down this button will give a maximum of -100% pitch. Use this function to slow  
to another playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is a momentary pitch adjustment,  
for a more precise adjustment use the pitch Slider (3) to match the BPM’s with another playing  
music source.  
(+) pITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the  
CD’s BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the beats between two  
playing CD’s or any other music source. Remember, this is a momentary function. When you remove  
your finger from this button, the BPM’s will automatically return to the pitch Slider'S (3) selected  
pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +100% pitch.  
6. pITCH ON/Off BUTTON - This button is used to turn the pitch Slider (3) function on and off.  
The pitch percentage can be changed between 4%, 8%, 16% and 100%. 4% will allow the least  
amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust  
to the different values please see page 28.  
7. TEmpO LOCk fUNCTION - This button activates the TEMPO LOCK function. This function allows  
you to use the PITCH SLIDER to speed up or slow down playback speed without altering the tonal  
pitch of the track. When this function is not engaged the original tonal pitch of the track will be altered  
giving you the "chipmunk" effect when a track is played at a high rate of speed, or the "James Earl  
Jones" effect when a track is slowed to much.  
8. pITCH pERCENTAgE SELECTOR - Press this button to choose any pitch range percentages of  
4%, 8%, 16%, and 100%. See page 29 for more details.  
9. JOg WHEEL/EffECTS pLATTER - This wheel has three functions;  
A. The jog wheel will act as a frame search control when the CD is in pause or cue mode, allowing  
you to set a cue point.  
B. The wheel also works as a pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel clockwise will increase  
the pitch percentage up to 100%, and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise direction will  
decrease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend will be determined on how long  
you turn the jog wheel continuously.  
C. The jog wheel can also be used in conjunction with the time (28) and ratio (23) knobs to adjust

Bank Button (26), not both. Your sample can be a maximum of 5.5 seconds in length. A sample can be  
recalled while a CD is playing, while the CD drive is in PAUSE MODE, you may even play a sample when the CD  
has been removed. You may play your sample at anytime without music interruption. If you play your sample  
when the unit is already in playback mode your sample will over lap the current music source. You can also  
play your sample once or in a continuous loop. As with cue points you may store approximately 1500 (500 x  
3) samples in a drives memory (depending on available memory).  
To create a sample:  
1) Initialize a loop (see creating a seamless loop on page 21 and 22). If your loop is longer than 5.5 sec-  
onds it can not be stored as a sample and will stored as a Cue Point.  
Figure 23  
Figure 22  
3) Select one of the three Bank ButtonS  
(26) you wish to store your loop in and press  
that button.  
2) Press the memory Button (27). The  
memory Button (27) red LED will glow  
indicating memory is ready to be stored.  
4) The red memory Button (27) LED will turn off, when your sample is  
locked into memory.  
5) At this point your sample has been stored into memory. The original loop you  
used to create the sample will remain playing until the out Button (15) is  
pressed (Figure 24).  
6) Your sample can now be recalled at any time even  
when the unit is in PAUSE MODE. To recall the  
sample be sure the sample function is on, by press-  
ing the Sample Button (25). The blue sample  
button LED will turn on. To play your sample in a  
continuos loop leave the sample function on. To  
play your sample just once, turn the sample func-  
tion off immediately after initiating your sample.  
With the sample function on the sample will con-  
tinue to play until the sample function is turned off.  
Figure 24  
7) Important Notice: If you try to activate your sample without turning the  
sample function on, the Bank Button (26) will act as a cue point!

BASIC OpERATIONS (CONT.)  
Changing the Sample Parameters:  
Changing the sample parameters allows you to change the sample's volume and pitch. A higher  
value will increase the pitch percentage or volume. It's important to understand that the pitch value  
is basically a speed adjustment and has nothing to do with tonal quality. The values can be either a  
momentary change or set adjustment. The sample values are changed in three easy steps, while in  
sample playback mode:  
Changing the Sample Parameters - Speed  
While a sample is playing push the parameter time knoB (28). One tap  
will display a percentage in the Vfd diSplay (2). Turning the knob in a  
clockwise direction will increase your pitch. Turning the knob in a counter-  
clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value.  
Figure 26  
Changing the Sample Parameters - Volume  
While a sample is playing push the parameter ratio knoB (23). One  
tap will display a volume value in the Vfd diSplay (2). Turning the knob  
in a clockwise direction will increase the volume. Turning the knob in a  
counter-clockwise direction will decrease the parameters value.  
Figure 27  
Changing the Sample Parameters - Hold Function  
Hold Function - This mode will allow you to save and lock your param-  
eter adjustments, if the hold function is not activated before you set your  
parameters, your parameter adjustments will be momentary. If you select  
the hold Button (24) all parameters will remain until changed again or  
power is shut off, unless they are stored in to the unit's memory.

12. Bank Buttons (26):  
These buttons are used to store your samples and cue points. Only a sample or a  
cue point can be stored into each of these three banks. When a sample is stored  
in of the banks you may use the sample starting point as a cue point. The Bank  
ButtonS instantly recall and play any of your stored samples or cue points  
without interrupting music playback. When in sample mode, (see "Using the  
Built-In Sampler" on page 23) and during playback, pressing any of the Bank  
ButtonS that stores a sample, will immediately begin to play that sample with-  
out interruption of music. If the unit is in sample mode and the drive is not in  
playback mode, pressing any of the Bank ButtonS that stores a sample, will  
immediately begin to play that sample.  
Figure 29  
13. BANk pROgRAm BUTTON (26):  
Once you store samples in the three (3) Bank Buttons, the Radius 1000 can be programmed to play the stored  
samples in a desired order. You can program the three (3) banks up to 12 times. The programmed samples  
can be played in your desired order without interrupting music playback. The programmed samples can be  
played when the player is in Pause mode and even when the disc has been removed. If the unit is in sample  
mode and the drive is not in playback mode, pressing any of the Bank ButtonS that stores a sample, will  
immediately begin to play that sample.  
To program samples:  
1) Once you have one or more samples stored. Press the Bank  
program Button (26). The character diSplay (41) will  
now display BANK P. =01.

pITCH ADJUSTmENTS  
pITCH ADJUSTmENTS:  
The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be manipulated. This speed  
manipulation is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources such as a turntable or  
another CD player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-100. The next section  
details the different pitch manipulation schemes.  
1. pITCH SLIDER (3):  
This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH."  
The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-100%. The  
pitch Slider (3) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the  
slider is moved up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the  
slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase.  
The pitch Slider adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%,  
+/-16%, or +/-100% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on  
the next page). The pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only  
when the pitch on/off Button (6) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will  
not affect your samples.  
Figure 36  
Activating the Pitch slider (3): To activate the pitch Slider (3) you must  
turn on the pitch adjustment function. Press the pitch on/off Button (3)  
to activate the slider. The on/off Button (3) LED will glow when the func-  
tion is activated. If the pitch function is not activated the pitch Slider (3)  
will not function.  
Figure 37  
Using the Pitch slider (3): Be sure the pitch function has been activated as  
described above. To use the pitch Slider (3) slide the slider up and down.  
Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch.

Radius 1000™ Instruction Manual Page 28  
pITCH ADJUSTmENTS  
Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANgE (8): You may change the  
pitch Slider'S (3) operating range at any time. To change the operat-  
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 37. The pitch  
percentage range can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and  
+/- 100%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100%  
will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the differ-  
ent ranges, press the pitch on/off Button (6) and tap on the pitch  
range Button (8) until your desired value is reached, see figure 39.  
Figure 39  
2. pITCH BENDINg:  
Unlike the pitch slider (3) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed dur-  
ing playback. There are two ways to operate this function, with the (-) & (+) pitch Bend ButtonS (5) or with  
the jog Wheel (9). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend function will  
work in conjunction with the pitch Slider'S (3) pitch setting. For example, if the pitch Slider (3) is set to a  
2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of +/- 100%.  
NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.  
Holding down or tapping on the (-)  
pitch Bend Button (5) will provide  
a slow down in the playback pitch.  
Holding down or tapping on the (+)  
pitch Bend Button (5) will provide  
a speed bump in the playback pitch.  
Figure 40  
Figure 41  
pITCH BEND BUTTONS (5):  
The (+) pitch Bend Button (5) will increase track playback speed and the (-) pitch Bend Button (5) will  
decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time  
the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) pitch Bend Button (5) is held down continuously as in figure  
41, the disc speed will increase and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain.  
When you release the (+) pitch Bend Button (5) the disc speed will automatially return to it’s previous set  
c
speed.

pITCH ADJUSTmENTS  
3. JOg WHEEL (9):  
The jog Wheel will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode  
Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch  
and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease your  
track pitch. The speed you rotate the jog Wheel will determine pitch bend  
percentage (%). For example, if the jog Wheel is continuously turned in a  
counter-clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will  
continue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and play-  
back stops entirely. When you stop turning the jog Wheel the disc speed  
will automatially return to it’s previous set speed.  
c
NOTE: To use the JOg WHEEL in a pitch bend function when the  
SCRATCH EFFECT (12) is activated you must use the outer rubber ring  
of the jog wheel.

BUILT-IN EffECTS  
The Radius 1000™ comes with eight built in effects. These effects can be used one at a time or you  
may choose to overlap the effects and use up to four at a time. The Built-in effects include Scratch,  
Filter, Echo, Trans, Skid, Phase, Flanger, and Pan. You can choose to use the effects with their default  
parameters or you may choose to customize each effect by changing the parameters. The parameter  
values for all the effects will range. Some effects will have more adjustable parameters than oth-  
ers. The parameters have two adjustable values, PR (Parameter Ratio) and PT (Parameter Time). All  
parameters will be reset to there default values when power is shut off!  
BEAT SELECT BUTTONS (21): These buttons access the preset  
banks for the parameters. All effects synchronized to the beat. Each  
effect has a set of ten built-in presets and one user programmable pre-  
set. These presets are accessed by the Beat Select ButtonS (21).  
To toggle between the banks tap on the arrow buttons. The chart on the  
side defines the presets.  
BEAT SELECTION BANKS

9 - Refreshes on 2/1 Beat (every two beat)  
10 - Refreshes on 4/1 Beat (every four beat)  
SCRATCH & SKID EFFECT: The Scratch Effect simulates real time  
turntable scratching. When the Scratch Effect is activated the SCRATCH  
LED will flash blue. Once the Scratch Effect has been activated the jog  
Wheel (9) may be used in the same fashion a turntable platter is used.  
Use the jog Wheel (9) to simulate the scratch motion on a turntable  
platter and to manipulate playback. When the skid effect is activated  
the SKID LED will flash blue. Both the Skid and Scratch time param-  
eters can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest  
Skid times. The Skid value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.
