Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This Manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiv-ing. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level, start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it com-fortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this Manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.30 dB - Quiet library, soft whispers40 dB - Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic50 dB - Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office60 dB - Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine70 dB - Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant80 dB - Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feetThe following noises can be dangerous at extended exposure:90 dB - Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower100 dB - Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill120 dB - Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap140 dB - Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 dB - Rocket launch pad Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.Thank you for purchasing our Gemini CDJ-700.

14 The CDJ-700 has six built-in effects: FLTR, FLANGER, ECHO, WAH, TRANCE, and BUBBLE.FLTR The FLTR effect is a band-pass filter and will filter out either the high frequencies or the low frequencies depending on the position of the EFFECT PARAMETER BAR. In the center position, there is no effect on the sound. Adjusting the effect towards the left will gradu-ally remove high frequencies until there is just lowend (bass). Adjusting the effect towards the right will gradu-ally remove the low frequencies until only high frequen-cies (treble) remain.FLAngeR The FLANGER effect is a time-based audio effect that occurs when two identical signals are mixed together, but with one signal time-delayed by a small and gradually changing amount. Varying the time delay causes these to sweep up and down the frequency spectrum. By sliding the EFFECTS PARAMETER BAR to the left the flanger gets slower and when you slide the parameter bar to the right the flanger gets faster.ecHo The ECHO effect repeats the audio several times, softer each time. Adjusting the EFFECTS PARAMETER BAR towards the left will shorten the time between the repeats and decrease the volume of the repeats, while adjusting the EFFECTS PARAMETER BAR towards the right will lengthen the time between the repeats and increase the volume of the repeats.wAH The WAH effect is an autowah effect that uses a variable cutoff frequency lowpass filter that exhibits a resonant peak just at its lowpass rolloff frequency to emulating the human voice making a “waaaah” tone, or its tonal inverse, “aaaooow”. BUBBLe The BUBBLE effect is a preset effect that com- bines the WAH and ECHO effects.TRAnce The TRANCE effect uses amplitude modulation in order to cut the audio’s volume in and out. e f f e c t s s e c t i o n

enABLing An eFFecT During playback, the EFFECT (16) section allows you to enable/disable effects. When VINYL (24) mode is disabled, the FLTR / FLANGER / ECHO effect set are the effects that can be used. When VINYL (24) mode is enabled, the WAH / TRANCE / BUBBLE effect set are the effects that can be used. AdjUSTing THe eFFecTS The EFFECTS DRY/WET (23) control adjusts the mix of the non-affected signal and the affected signal. Turn clockwise to increase the amount of the affected signal. Turn counter-clockwise to in-crease the amount of the non-affected signal.The EFFECTS PARAMETER BAR located on the LCD shows the value of the effects parameter for the FLTR / FLANGER / ECHO effect set. The WAH / TRANCE / BUBBLE effect set does not have any adjustable parameters.To adjust the parameter of the FLTR / FLANGER / ECHO effect set, touch the EFFECTS PARAMETER BAR on the LCD touch display and adjust the param-eter position to the desired spot. The effect param-eter can also be adjusted by using the jogwheel (30). Rotating the jogwheel (30) clockwise will increase the value of the parameter, rotating the jogwheel counter-clockwise will decrease the parameter.NOTE: When the effect is selected the name of the effect should appear at this place of the screen for about 5 seconds. HoLd mode Pressing HOLD will enable/disable effect HOLD mode. This will apply effect with selected parameters to music. When an effect is enabled, but HOLD mode is dis-abled, you can change the effect’s parameters and listen to it by rotating the jogwheel (30) or moving the finger along effect bar on the LCD touch screen. When the jogwheel (30) stops rotating, the effect will disengage. To keep the effect engaged, apply HOLD mode.It is possible to change the effect parameters in HOLD mode as well which will preserve the parameter value and keep the effect enabled.c d j - 7 0 0 m a n u a l • g e m i n i d j . c o m
