[slinkelist] Trying to understand cross-fading requirements

[Ken Geoffrion]

Andy,

I have a Sony CDP-CX260 (slave) and a CDP-CX350 (master).  I usually use 
playlists that I've built for different types of music and I have CDJ 
alternate between players.  But I also use it manually to play either albums 
or specific tracks without any problems.

Once in awhile, CDJ gets mixed up and whenever I click on either an album or 
a track it just sends a series of Stop commands to the players.  In this 
case it doesn't matter which player I'm telling it to use.  This also seems 
to be random.

Ken

     What players are you using? When I attempt to use CDJ to run my players 
in master-slave mode (a 270 controlling a 250 and a 90ES controlling a 225), 
the master player overrides any selection I make on the slave with CDJ.  
About one per cent of the time, I manage to play a track from a slave player 
with CDJ, but I cannot explain why it works.  It seems random.

     David and Colby, is there a chance that you might build a few of the 
circuits you have posted on your site? I would like to control three pairs 
of Sony players from Slink-e and CDJ, so, from what I understand, the 
circuit needs a slight modification.

     Thank you.


     Andrew

  I've had my two players in master/slave for over a year, and you're right, 
it isn't 100% reliable, but it is 99% reliable.  Now that I have a DXS, I am 
thinking about implementing the s-link switching circuit suggested by Colby 
(and documented on the Nirvis website 
http://www.nirvis.com/masterslave.htm).
  Will this give me the additional 1% reliability?  Have any other of you 
Slink-e Weenies had good success with the s-link switching circuit?

  Thanks,

  Unfortunately CDJ will not operate reliably with the players in a
  master/slave configuration.
