Operating the DJ-505
Synchronizing the TR-S Tempo with the Serato DJ Tempo
If you press the TR-S [SYNC] button, the tempo of the TR-S is synchronized
with the tempo of the song that’s loaded into the deck.
The tempo shown in Serato DJ’s virtual deck will be the same as the tempo
shown in the TR-S display.
