Before Operating (Features)

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

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

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

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 accurately 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

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.

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.
