STORING A MASTER CUE POINT:
There are 2 ways to set a master cue point:
Press the IN/R.CUE button during normal playback to set the new cue point (“CUE on
the fly”).
Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact location
for the cue point. Once this location is found, press “IN/R. CUE” button to set the new
cue point. (or press PLAY/PAUSE button)
Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button to recall it.
STORING A SIMPLE CUE POINT TO THE “HOT CUE” BUTTONS:
First press the MEMORY button(9) to make the unit enter hot cue memory mode
(MEMORY button is lit).
Press one of the four HOT CUE buttons at the right moment during normal playback:
the HOT CUE button you just pressed turns to red colour to indicate that the desired
cue point is stored. (“Cue on the fly”).
Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact location
for the cue point. Once this location is found, press one of the four HOT CUE buttons
to set the new cue point: the HOT CUE button you just pressed turns to red colour to
indicate that the desired cue point is stored.
Once the cue point is programmed, just press the HOT CUE button to start playback
from the stored cue point.
STORING A LOOP TO THE “HOT CUE” BUTTONS:
This is very similar to storing a simple cue point. The only difference is that you have to
put the MCD200 in loop mode first. When the loop is playing, you press the MEMORY
button to make the CD-player enter hot cue memory mode (MEMORY button is lit). After
this press one of the four HOT CUE buttons: the HOT CUE button you just pressed turns
to green colour to indicate that the loop, playing at that moment, is stored. You can store
up to 4 loops!
STORING HOT CUE MEMORIES TO THE PERMANENT INTERNAL MEMORY:
For each CD you can store up to 4 cue points and loops to the internal permanent
memory. At a later time you can recall these cue points and loops when you insert the
same CD again. The MCD200 can hold up to 2048 (512 x 4) Cue points and loops.
Writing the contents of the HOT CUE buttons to permanent memory is very simple: just
press the MEMORY button for about 2 seconds until the display shows “SAVING”. That’s
all!
NOTE:
When you put another CD in the disc tray without first writing the current HOT CUE memories to
the internal permanent memory, they will be lost.
RECALLING HOT CUE MEMORIES FROM PERMANENT INTERNAL MEMORY:
If you have stored permanent cue points and loops for a CD, you can choose to recall
these while reloading that CD at a later time.
RECALL:
Before loading the CD, just press the MEMORY button until it starts
flashing and the display shows “RECALL”. Now press the OPEN/CLOSE button to
load the CD. It takes some seconds to load the HOT CUE buttons, during this time
the display shows “RECALL”. If no permanent cue points where found, the MCD200
stops the recall process automatically.
DON’T RECALL:
Just insert the CD as usual and start playback. The MCD200 will
ignore the permanent cue point information for this CD.

DELETE THE CURRENT “HOT CUE” BUTTONS:
This can be done in two ways:
Simply program a new HOT CUE, the previous will be erased.
NOTE:
Don’t forget to update the new Cue point information to permanent memory!
Put another CD in the disc tray, the HOT CUES will be erased.
NOTE
: Only the HOT CUE buttons are erased, the cue point information in permanent memory is
preserved.
DELETE THE ENTIRE INTERNAL CUE MEMORY:
Turn the SEARCH Button(1) to the left (counterclockwise) and keep it in that position
while switching the MCD200 on: the permanent cue memory is cleared. During this
action the display shows “clearALL”.
CAUTION: THIS ACTION IS IRRIVERSIBLE, ALL CUE POINTS/LOOPS WILL BE DELETED!!!
PITCH BENDING:
This function is used to put the beats of two tracks in perfect sync. This can be done in
two ways:
PITCH BEND buttons: The speed increases or decreases respectively as long as the
PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND- button is pressed.
JOG WHEEL: During play mode the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of
the music by turning the JOG WHEEL clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to
slowdown. The rotation speed the JOG W HEEL determines the percent of pitch bend.
PITCH BEND PARAMETER:
The pitch bend parameter determines the impact of the jog wheel on the pitch bend
function. The CD-player comes with the pitch bend parameter set to 50. You can adjust
the parameter between 001 (very little impact) to 100 (extreme impact) to adapt the pitch
bend function perfectly to your personal taste! This is how to change the parameter:
Press the TIME-button (16) until the alphanumeric display (20) shows the parameter
value: BEND xxx (“xxx” is the value)
Change the parameter with the big jog wheel (20) and press the TIME-button (16)
shortly to confirm the new parameter.
Try the new pitch bend parameter setting to see if it’s OK:
New parameter is NOT OK: start the procedure again to set a different value.
New parameter is OK: press the MEMORY-button (9) until the display shows
“SAVING” to save this new setting to the permanent settings of the unit. Now the new
pitch bend parameter will be preserved, even when you turn the CD-player off.
CD-TEXT:
Not only MP3 files can show the track name on the display. Some normal audio CDs use
CD-TEXT to show the track names. Also some CDR burning software (ex. Nero) can
add CD-TEXT to a normal audio CD. When the MCD200 detects these CD-TEXT data,
the display will show them automatically. When no CD-TEXT is available the display
shows “no CD-TEXT”.
PLAYING MP3 FILES:
The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MCD200 is able to
read several different MP3 formats. The display shows some of the ID3-tags (song title /
performer / folder name / bitrate). The CD may contain up to 999 MP3- files, spread over
maximum 255 folders.
The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3
