allowing you to set a cue point.

Playback. Turning the wheel clockwise will  

 

increase the pitch percentage up to 100%,

 

and turning the wheel in the counter-clock-  

 

wise direction will decrease the pitch per-

 

centage down to

 pitch bend will  

 

be  determined on how long you turn the jog

  Each  press  of  the 

PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTon

  causes  the  operation  to 

change from play to pause or from pause to play.

and while in pause mode the blue play LED will 
flash.

back  immediately  pauses  playback  and  returns 
the track to the last set cue point (see setting a 
CUE POINT, page 19). The red CUE LED will glow 
when the unit is in cue mode The LED will also 
flash  every  time  a  new  CUE  POINT  is  set.  The 
CUE  button  can  be  held  down  to  momentarily 
play the CD. When you release the CUE button it 
instantly returns to the CUE POINT.

Track #11, press the button again, it will skip to 
Track #21. If there are not that many tracks, it will
