TRACK SKIP : The TRACK SKIP(15) buttons let you scan forward or in reverse through the CD to select a track to play. Holding the button will increase the speed of scanning.

SEARCH : The SEARCH (16) buttons are used to move forward or reverse while in play or pause mode, SEARCH (16) can also be used to find a CUE POINT. Hold down either button for ultra

fast searching.

SEARCH JOG WHEEL: The SEARCH JOG WHEEL(17) has two functions. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL(17) to fast forward or rewind to a precise location for CUE in PAUSE (STUTTER) mode. Use the SEARCH JOG WHEEL(17) to bend the pitch for precise synchronization when beat matching in PLAY mode, clockwise for fast forward to speed up, or counter clock wise for slow motion to speed down play according to the PITCH(25) selected (see PITCH below).

SINGLE AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS: Pressing SINGLE(18) activates the SINGLE-AUTO CUE function. SINGLE(18) allows you to begin and end play on only one selected track. AUTO CUE places the selected track in pause at the exact moment when the music starts with no “dead” space in between songs. Once this track has completed playing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE function will pause the CD at the exact moment when the next track begins playing. Pressing SINGLE(18) a second time will activate the CONTINUOUS function. CONTINUOUS allows the CD to play out each track on the CD respectively and will start over at the beginning, repeating the CD again, until the SINGLE(18) function is pressed a third time. This will return these playback functions to normal mode and play the CD once through as recorded.

TIME: The TIME(19) button switches the time display between the three modes. ELAPSED refers to the time past on a track, REMAINING refers to the time remaining on the track, and TOTAL REMAINING refers to the time remaining on the CD. Time is measured in minutes, seconds and frames.

LOOP-IN:LOOP-IN (20) activates a CUE POINT for the beginning of a SEAMLESS LOOP. When pressed the GREEN LED on the button will blink during saving and stays lit during playback or storage. These CUE POINTS can be selected at any point in the track to begin a loop.

LOOP-OUT:Use LOOP-OUT (21) to set an EXIT POINT for a SEAMLESS LOOP after using LOOP-IN (20) to start the loop. The GREEN LED for LOOP-OUT (21) flashes and the CUE-B notification will be visible in the upper right hand corner of the DISPLAY (10) for that side. Press LOOP-OUT (21) again to exit the SEAMLESS LOOP.

RE-LOOP:RE-LOOP (22) will reactivate a SEAMLESS LOOP during playback and starts playback from the LOOP-IN (20) CUE POINT similar to the BOP (14) button when a loop is not in memory.

NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY USE YOUR LOOP WITH THE CURRENT CD. ONCE YOU OPEN THE TRAY TO CHANGE CDS, YOUR LOOPS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DELETED.

PITCH: Pushing a PITCH(24) button, 4%, 8%, or 16%, activates the PITCH(24) section of the unit. The PITCH is located at the bottom right LCD DISPLAY(10). To accurately adjust the pitch, change the position of the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE(25). Pushing 4% and 16% PITCH(24) buttons simultaneously will turn off the PITCH.

PITCH BEND : Pushing the PITCH BEND (23) buttons will automati cally raise the pitch up to +4% or lower the pitch down to -4%from the existing setting. Releasing the buttons returns pitch to the original setting. Use this function to match the pitch bend when mixing from one song to another. Or use SEARCH JOG WHEEL (17) see above.

4%, 8%, and 16%(24): Use the 4%, 8%, and 16% buttons to assign the percent the pitch control slide will have. When a pitch setting is selected, the GREEN LED will light for that button. The 4% button will assign +/- 4% to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE(25). The 8% button will assign +/-8%to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE(25). The 16% button will assign +/-16%to the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE(25). The PITCH must be ON for the 4%, 8%, and 16% to work.

PITCH CONTROL SLIDE: Moving the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (25) up or down will lower or raise the pitch percentage depending on which pitch level is selected.
