LOOPING OPERATIONS

LOOPING

A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat with no breaks.

LOOP IN

The “LOOP IN” point is where you wish for the loop to start. You will notice the “LOOP IN” button will be lit every time you put in a new CD. This is because the initial “CUE” point of the CD is also the default “LOOP IN” and “STUTTER” point. If you wish to set a new

“LOOP IN” point, just press while the CD is playing when it

reaches the desired point. The button will light indicating a

new loop is set. The button and in the display will also illuminate indicating a point has been set and is accessible for “STUTTER”. By default the “LOOP IN” also becomes the “STUTTER” point.

NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set point as the “LOOP IN” or “STUTTER” point until you actually set a new “LOOP IN” point or put in a new CD.

The new point will be accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a “LOOP IN” on another track, pressing

will jump to that point.

LOOP OUT

The “LOOP OUT” determines the end point for a loop. The first time you press while a CD is in play mode, the “LOOP OUT” LED will turn on and flash while the song automatically returns to the “LOOP IN” point with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the “LOOP OUT” point again it returns to the “LOOP IN” point and continues to repeat this action. You will notice the “LOOP IN” LED will also be flashing during loop action. To release

or end the LOOP press a second time and play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set “LOOP OUT” point. The “LOOP OUT” LED will be lit solid indicating that the “LOOP” is now in memory for “RELOOP” purposes.

Note: The “LOOP OUT” point will be erased if “LOOP IN” is pressed or a new

“CUE” point is set after the “LOOP OUT” point. This is important because without

this point “RELOOP” will not be possible.
