the playback pitch percentage when the

PITCH

(9)

function is activated. The slider is a set adjust-

ment and will remain set until the pitch slider
is moved or the

PITCH (9)

function has been

turned off. This adjustment can be made with or
without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment
will remain even if a disc has been remove, and
will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit.
That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc,
remove that disc and insert another, that disc too
will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being

applied will be displayed in the

one disc with respect to the other in this way, the
beats can be matched.
