4.If the beat of channel 2 (in the headphones) slower than the beat of channel 1, speed up the beat using the pitch control.

USING THE BPM DISPLAY FEATURE

Press the BPM button to select the BPM feature on the display on the side of the CD player that you wish to set. Tap the Counter button to the beat of the music.

You will see the BPM number appear in the display. The more times you tap the more accurate your number will be. When you adjust the pitch slider the display number will change by an equal percentage.

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND

If you find the BPM’s (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not matched you will need to temporarily change the pitch. The illustration below shows how to match the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be done on either PLAYER).

After matching the BPM’s adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:

When PLAYER 2 is rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise

When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise

The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM’s are once again the same.)
