Features
This player has been designed to provide CD/DVD playback fea-
tures and functions demanded by professional disco club DJs
and VJs. It is a professional DVD player equipped with opera-
tional ease, sound quality, and functions superior to those found
on the professional analog players conventionally used by DJs.
JOG DIAL
Large-diameter (206 mm) dial for operating sensitivity ex-
ceeding that possible with conventional analog turntables
¶
PITCH BEND
Changes playback pitch in proportion to the direction and speed
of jog dial rotation.
¶
SCRATCH PLAY
In VINYL mode, when the top surface of the jog dial is touched,
playback stops and starts in response to the direction and speed
of jog dial rotation. The user can also adjust the sensitivity of
start-up when the jog dial is touched and released, making pos-
sible new DJ techniques.
¶
FRAME SEARCH
When the jog dial is rotated during pause, the pause position is
changed in units of individual frames (1/75th second).
¶
SUPER FAST SEARCH
When the jog dial is rotated while depressing the manual search
button, track search button or title search button, the search will
be performed more quickly than the conventional search or track
search (or title/chapter search) functions.
¶
HYPER JOG MODE
In VINYL mode, when the jog dial is rotated, the amount of sound
or image change corresponding to the dial rotation doubles. Per-
formance possibilities are enhanced by employing this function
together with the ordinary mode.
ON JOG DISPLAY
The center of the jog dial is furnished with a display providing
variety of information, including disc status, cue point position,
audio/video memory status, jog touch detect display, and VINYL
mode.
WAVE DISPLAY
With an analog record, the user could look for the breaks in the
grooves to use as mix points and end points. In the same way,
the WAVE display reveals track breaks in advance, allowing the
DJ to use them as break points.
CUE/LOOP MEMORY
Cue points and loop points can be recorded for each disc on the
external SD memory cards, and called up later as desired.
HOT CUE
Up to 3 hot cue points (A, B, C) can be recorded in advance and
called up later for instant playback from those points. Hot cues
can be used not only to record normal cue points, but also for
loop point playback.
REVERSE PLAY
By pulling the DIRECTION select switch toward the front (REV
position), tracks can be played in reverse.
TEMPO CONTROL
High-performance 100 mm slider for precise adjustment of
track speed
Using a digital display with 0.02 % increments (within control
range ±6 %), the user can accu rately match the tempos of play-
back tracks.
¶
TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
Four tempo control ranges are provided: ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 %,
and WIDE.
¶
TEMPO CONTROL RESET
This control allows tempo to be reset to the default 0 % status
instantly, regardless of the slider position.
¶
MASTER TEMPO
Allows pitch to be maintained while changing track speed.
CUE
¶
BACK CUE
By previously recording a cue point, it can be returned to instantly
by pressing the CUE button during subsequent playback, thus
starting playback again from that point.
¶
AUTO CUE
This function cues a track by skipping the non-recorded portion
before the beginning of music, setting the player to standby mode
immediately before music begins. In this way, playback can be-
gin instantly when the PLAY/PAUSE (
6
) button is pressed.
¶
CUE POINT SAMPLER
This function allows one-touch playback from the cue points
stored in memory, a convenient function for confirming cue points
and sampling the points stored.
REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP
Allows simple setting and canceling of playback loops. Loops
can be set quickly during track playback; also allows quick set-
ting of a loop immediately before the end of a track, thus pre-
venting the track from ending. Finally, an ADJUST mode has been
added to allow one-touch changing of loop-out points.
