TMC200
In scratch mode (SCRATCH button (28) activated) the jog wheel is used to manipulate playback of
the music in real time. As a result you can scratch the music on your CD the way you do this with a
normal analog vinyl record. To match the vinyl feel as close as possible and largely improve scratch
performance, the the jog-wheel uses a patented touch-sensitive technology!
You can manipulate the DSP-effects while they are used in manual mode, see EFFECT buttons (14).
28. SCRATCH button:
Used to put the TMC200 in scratch mode. This option gives you the possibility to
scratch any track on the CD in real time. You can use the scratch function in both play and pause mode:
In play mode:
The music plays normally until you touch the big jog wheel(27). While manipulating
the jog wheel(27), the scratch effect is audible. Once the jog wheel is stopped, the music
continues playing from the point where you stopped turning it.
In pause mode:
the music is paused for as long as the jog wheel(27) isn’t moved. When you start
manipulating the jog wheel(27), the scratch effect is audible. Once the jog wheel is stopped, the
music stops playing and waits in pause mode.
NOTE:
during scratch mode you can switch between play and pause mode by simply pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE button(8)
29. Audio output:
Output for the audio signals from the CD-player. Use the supplied cinch/cinch cable to
connect this output to a CD/line input of your mixing unit.
30. Digital out socket:
Use this connector to connect the digital signal (S/PDIF format) to the input of a
digital amplifier or digital recorder (ex. Mini disc)
31. RELAY Socket:
you can use this connector in two ways: you can use it with the fader start option on
certain mixers or you can connect two TMC200 players together to obtain the relay play function.
Relay play:
Use the supplied mono mini jack/jack cable to connect the RELAY sockets of two
TMC200 players together. Look further in this manual to learn how to perform the relay play
function.
Fader start:
If you are using a mixer with fader start function, use the supplied mono mini
jack/jack cable to connect the player with the fader start of the mixer. Please note that this socket
must never be connected with any voltage.
Attention:
This remote control is only compatible with certain (Synq® or Pioneer® compatible)
mixers. Mixers with remote starts functioning with a signal switched to ground will
not
work.
32. POWER ON/OFF switch:
switches the TMC200 on and off.
33. MAINS INPUT:
