ABOUT THE DISC AUTO PLAY FUNCTION

If a disc is loaded into drive 1, if no track has previously been set in controller A, a disc track will automatically be set in controller A and playback will begin automatically.

In the same way, if a disc is loaded into drive 2 its track will be set in controller B and automatically begin playback. In the case of music CDs (CD-DA), the first track will be set; in the case of CD- ROM/DVD-ROM discs, the first track found by the unit will be set. However, if Auto Cue has been set to ON, the unit will not begin playback, but enter the cue standby mode (P. 37).

•Auto play is not supported when a USB storage device is inserted.

TO STOP PLAYBACK AND EJECT DISC

1During playback, press the play/pause () button, (or, if a cue point has been set, press the CUE button to perform back cue), then press the EJECT () button.

•Disc rotation will stop and the disc will be ejected from the slot.

•The player is not equipped with an ordinary “stop” button.

•The EJECT () button is disabled during disc playback.

TO PAUSE PLAYBACK

1During playback, press the play/pause () button.

•The button indicator and CUE button indicator will flash, and play will stop.

•To resume playback, press the play/pause () button once again. The button indicator will light steadily, and playback will continue.

•If the jog mode is set to something besides SCRATCH, even during the pause mode, intermittent sound will be audible (called “audible pause”). If you wish for no sound to be audible, lower the audio mixer’s output level.

•If no subsequent operation is performed for a period of 100 minutes from the time the unit is set to the pause mode, it will automatically stop disc rotation. In this event, press the play/pause () button to resume playback.

ABOUT THE DISC RESUME FUNCTION

After ejecting a disc, if the same disc is once again inserted into the same drive, the operation condition will return to that in effect immediately before the prior eject, with the exception that jog break effect and scratch effect are not resumed.

If the TRACK SEARCH button is pressed before playing the same disc a second time, playback will begin after performing normal track search.

•The resume function does not support play on USB storage devices.

•The resume function is supported only when the EJECT () button is used to remove a disc.

•Although the resume function is meant for disc media, when drive 1 has been ejected only the state of controller A will be resumed. Likewise, when drive 2 has been ejected, only the state of controller B will be resumed. USB storage devices and DJ software without an eject function will not be resumed.

FAST FORWARD/FAST REVERSE

Using the SEARCH (, ) buttons

During playback, press one of the SEARCH (, ) buttons.

•Fast forward is performed while the button is depressed.

•Fast reverse is performed while the button is depressed.

Super fast search

While holding one of the SEARCH (, ) buttons depressed, rotate the jog dial.

•When the dial is rotated while holding one of the SEARCH (, ) buttons depressed, the unit enters the super fast forward or super fast reverse mode.

In the case of VBR type music files, search will be performed at normal fast-forward and fast-reverse speeds.

•The search direction follows the direction in which the jog dial is rotated. The SEARCH button pressed has no effect on the direction.

•When the jog dial rotation is stopped, playback begins.

•If the SEARCH button is released, the fast forward/fast reverse mode is canceled.

•In cases other than music CD (CD-DA), fast forward and fast reverse can be performed only within the same folder.
