Jog Dial Functions

Playback

During playback, rotate the jog dial slowly (two times or less per second: beat search)

ÖThe beat (tempo) changes in proportion to the amount the dial is rotated, either increasing (FWD+) or decreas- ing (REV–).

ÖWhen dial rotation is stopped, the tempo returns to its original speed.

Rotating the jog dial quickly (more than two times per sec- ond) during playback.

ÖFast forward or fast reverse will be performed while producing broken or intermittent sound from the disc.

Fonctions de la molette pas-à-pas

Pendant la lecture

Rotation lente de la molette (deux fois ou moins par seconde: recherche à mesure) pendant la lecture

ÖLa mesure (tempo) change selon le degré de rotation de la molette: soit elle augmente (FWD+), soit elle diminue (REV–).

ÖQuand on arrête de tourner la molette, le tempo revient à sa vitesse originale.

Rotation rapide de la molette (plus de deux fois par seconde) pendant la lecture

ÖL’avance rapide ou le recul rapide est exécuté en laissant entendre les sons brisés ou intermittents du disque.

Standby (Frame Search)

With the unit in standby mode, rotate the jog dial slowly.

ÖFrame search will be performed in 1-frame increments.

ÖIf the dial is rotated at a steady rate in the FWD+ direc- tion, playback sound will be audible (normal speed).

Cue Standby (Cue Point Adjust)

With the unit in cue standby mode, pressing one of the SEARCH buttons (1, Á) causes the unit to enter the audible standby mode (disc sound can still be heard even though unit is in standby). Rotating the jog dial moves the cue point. After moving the cue point, press the CUE but- ton to set the new cue point.

Loop Play (Loop-Out Point Adjust)

During loop play, press the LOOP OUT ADJUST button to enter loop out adjust mode. Rotating the jog dial move the loop out point in 1-frame increments.

En/Fr

Pendant l’attente (Recherche d’image)

Pendant que l’appareil est en mode d’attente, tourner lentement la molette pas-à-pas.

ÖLa recherche d’image s’accomplit par palier d’une ima- ge.

ÖSi la molette est tournée à une cadence régulière dans le sens avant (FWD+), le son reproduit est audible (vitesse normale).

Pendant l’attente au point d’attaque (Réglage de point d’attaque)

L’appareil étant en mode d’attente au point d’attaque, une poussée sur une des touches SEARCH (1, Á) le fait passer au mode d’attente audible (le son du disque est audible bien que l’appareil soit en attente). La rotation de la molette déplace le point d’attaque. Après l’avoir fait, appuyer sur la touche CUE pour définir le nouveau point d’attaque.

Pendant une lecture en boucle (Réglage du point de sortie de boucle)

Pendant la lecture en boucle, appuyer sur la touche LOOP OUT ADJUST pour passer au mode de réglage de sortie de boucle. Une rotation de la molette permet alors de déplacer le point de sortie de boucle par paliers d’une ima- ge.
