TOP PANEL FEATURES
1.
EJECT
–
Pressing will open or close the
disc tray on the transport. This unit is
designed to play commercially available
CDs and properly burned and finalized
CD-Rs. Due to variances on the
specification of certain CD burners and
CDs, some homemade CDs may not play
properly. We recommend burning CDs at
the minimum speed possible for the best
performance.
2.
PLAY / PAUSE –
Plays or pauses the
track. Pausing the track will create a cue
point at that location (which can be
adjusted with the JOG WHEEL in Search
Mode).
3.
CUE
–
During playback, pressing CUE will
return to the most recent point where
playback was started and will pause the
track. Holding down CUE will start
playback from this point, and releasing
CUE will cause it to return to that point and
will pause the track. Also, if the track is
paused, you can use the JOG WHEEL to
locate a new cue point.
4.
SEARCH –
Pressing this button allows
you to use the JOG WHEEL to rapidly
scan through the music. The LED indicator
will be red when Search Mode is active.
(
Note:
If the JOG WHEEL is not used for
8 seconds, Search Mode will be
deactivated.
)
5.
JOG WHEEL
–
The jog wheel serves
many functions depending on its current
mode.
a)
If a track is not playing, the JOG
WHEEL will search slowly through a
track's frames. To set a new cue
point, rotate the JOG WHEEL then
begin playback when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to that cue point.
b)
If a track is playing, the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the JOG WHEEL
clockwise temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-
matching.
c)
When the SEARCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will scan rapidly through the track.
6.
TRACK KNOB –
Turn this knob to select a track to play. Press this knob to skip through your track listing 10 tracks at a
time.
7.
PROGRAM –
This button helps you create a program – a sequence of tracks to play continuously. To create a
program, press PROGRAM when the CD player is paused. To enter a track into the program, use the TRACK KNOB to
select the desired track then press PROGRAM to enter it. Repeat this process for each track you want to enter (in the
order you want them to play). When you have finished, press PLAY / PAUSE to start playing the program. The tracks
will play in the order you entered them, and "PROGRAM" will be shown on the LCD. To cancel your program as it is
playing, press and hold PROGRAM for 2 seconds so "PROGRAM" disappears from the LCD.
8.
SINGLE –
Press this button to toggle between Single Play (the deck will stop at the end of each track) or Continuous
Play (the entire disc will be played without interruption).
9.
TIME –
Switches the time display between elapsed playing time, remaining time on the track, and total remaining time
on the entire CD.
10.
LOOP IN –
Sets a new cue point or the start point of a loop (a "Loop In" point) during playback.
11.
LOOP OUT –

LOOP OUT to release it from the loop and continue normal playback.
12.
RELOOP –
Plays the track immediately from the beginning of a loop (and reactivates the loop).
13.

and by different LEDs.
14.
PITCH FADER –
The pitch can be changed by pressing the PITCH button so a PITCH LED is lit, then moving the sliding
fader. The pitch will not be changed if the PITCH LED is off.

You can use these two pitch bend buttons to temporarily adjust the pitch and tempo of the music up
to -/+ 16% from the current pitch setting.
