LCD DISPLAY (FIGURE 7)

35.TIME BAR INDICATOR - This bar visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (40, 41, & 42). As with the TIME METER (40, 41, & 42), this bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN (39) ELAPSED, OR TOTAL REMAIN (36). This bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in. NOTE: When neither TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN are showing in the LCD the unit is showing the tracks' ELAPSED TIME.

36.SINGLE INDICATOR - This indicates the unit is in single play mode. In single play mode, the unit will play a single and return to CUE mode.

37.PITCH METER - This meter displays the pitch percentage being applied to playback by the PITCH SLIDER (3). If the meter read zero regardless of the PITCH SLIDER'S (3) position, the PITCH (13) function is not activated.

38.TOTAL REMAIN INDICATOR - This indicator is in direct reference to the TIME METER (40, 41, & 42). When the TOTAL REMAIN indicator is displayed in the LCD (2), the time defined will refer to the entire discs' remaining time. The time mode is changed by tapping on TIME BUTTON (9). The unit will indicate the ELAPSED time when neither the TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN indicators are showing.

39.REMAIN INDICATOR - This indicator is in direct reference to the TIME METER (40, 41, & 42). When the REMAIN indicator is displayed in the LCD (2), the time defined will refer to a single track's remaining time. The time mode is changed by tapping on TIME BUTTON (9). The unit will indicate the ELAPSED time when neither the TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN indicators are showing.

40.FRAME METER - This meter will display the elapsed, total, or frames. The displayed frames will be indirect reference to the current time mode.

41.SECONDS METER - This meter will display the elapsed, total, or remaining time in seconds. The display time will be indirect reference to the current time mode.

42.MINUTES METER - This meter will display the elapsed, total, or remaining time in minutes. The display time will be indirect reference to the current time mode.

43.TRACK INDICATOR - This double digit indicator details a current track. The number displayed in the track indicator is a direct reference to a track being selected for programming or a track in play, pause, or cue mode.
