1.Open/Close: Press to load or eject the disc. The tray will not open if a disc is in play. The tray door will automatic close in 30 seconds if left open. This is to protect the tray from accidental damage while open

2.Single: toggles the unit to play back just one track at a time (single) or play continuously through all tracks and then start over repeating the CD infinitely (continuous).

3.Time: switches the time modes on the display between elapsed playing time, remaining time on the track, and remaining time on the total CD. When toggled to remaining time total the total number of remaining tracks will also show.

4.LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring, with the CD.

5.Track Buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be played. “+10” allows the user to quickly move through tracks on the CD.

6.Search Buttons: Pressing these buttons create a rapid scan of the music to find a cue point.

7.Cue: Returns and pauses the music at the last set cue point. The cue point is where the music will begin when play is pressed. The cue point is set as the initial start point on a track or can be moved when play is started at a different point. For instance, if the music is paused, pressing play will set a new cue point. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel during pause.

As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same position any number of times.

Note: Pressing cue 2 times plays music temporarily from this point until the button is released.

8.Play/Pause: Starts the music from the cue point or pauses it while in play. By pressing play after pause a new cue point will be set

9.Jog Wheel:

Cue Function: As explained under “CUE”, when the music is paused and you rotate the wheel, music will sound. By pressing play a new cue point is set.

Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

10.Pitch Range: activates the pitch slider and adjusts the amount of control the pitch slider has on the overall speed of music. Tapping the pitch will toggle slider between 8% and 16% pitch ranges. Holding the pitch for 3 seconds will deactivate the pitch control.

11.Pitch Range LEDs: indicate current pitch range. When both LEDs are off the pitch slider is not active

12.Pitch Bend Buttons: Allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the (-). When the CD is behind press the (+). The pitch changes temporarily while the (+) or (-) button is being pressed. The longer you hold the buttons the more pitch is changed. Releasing the buttons results in a return to the original pitch.

13.Pitch Slider: By moving the slider in the (+) direction the speed of the music permanently speeds up. By moving the slider in the (- ) direction the speed of the music permanently slows down. To match the speeds of two CDs you can adjust the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the slider to the (+) side and match the speed. When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) side. By making this adjustment the speeds will be matched though the beats may not yet be aligned.

14.BPM - Tapping this button with the beat of the music indicates the current Beats Per Minute (BPM) in the display. The unit will average your taps to determine the BPM so multiple taps is recommended.

15.Relay – Pressing this button on two units connected by the relay cable will cause the units to alternate play as one stops and the other starts. If the units are set to single play mode then relay will alternate after each track. If the unit is set to continuous it will relay after the entire CD is played.
