RELOOP

Once set, a loop can be returned to any number of times After canceling loop play, pressing the RELOOP/EXIT button causes playback to return and begin again from the previously set loop. Turning the function ON/OFF in time with the track’s rhythm allows a variety of new performance possibilities.

4-BEAT LOOP

When the 4-BEAT/ONE-TRACK button is pressed, the point at which the button is pressed is set as a loop-in point, and a loop-out point is set automatically 4 beats later, and automatic loop play is performed.

ONE-TRACK LOOP

When the 4-BEAT/ONE-TRACK button is held depressed for one second or more, the chapter loop or track loop function is enabled.

BACK & FORTH LOOP

The Back & Forth Loop mode repeats playback in forward direction from the loop-in point to loop-out point, followed by reverse play from the loop-out point to the loop-in point.

PLAYING ADDRESS

With an analog record, the position of the stylus gives the operator an immediate grasp of the progress of playback. In the same way, the play address display shows a bar graph that provides an immediate visual grasp of the track’s playback progress. The current position in the track is indicated by the length of the bar; in addition, the bar flashes to warn that playback is approaching the end of the track.

FADER START

When the player is connected to a Pioneer DJ mixer (sold sepa- rately), the mixer’s fader operation can be used to perform fader start and back cue.

MULTI READ

Discs readable on this player include CD-R/CD-RW (recorded in audio CD format or MP3), and DVD-R/DVD-RW (recorded in video format or MP3). However, since this player uses high-speed data read for the purposes of its DJ operations, some discs may not play back properly depending on the characteristics of the disc and the recorder, as well as a result of dirt or scratches on the disc, etc.

MP3 DJ PLAY

This function allows use of the DJ function to play MP3 files recorded on CD or DVD.

About DVD playback in DJ mode

Since various special operations are supported in DJ mode, certain limitations are placed on normal playback functions such as SCAN. For this reason, operations which are possible in the NORMAL mode may be limited or disabled when attempted in DJ mode. In short, if you wish to use all ordinary DVD play functions, use the NORMAL mode.

Limited or disabled functions (when in DJ mode)

Cannot play sub-pictures (can’t display subtitles or onscreen but- tons)

Cannot use password input command (when using interactive commands, the same operations may not produce the same results as when in NORMAL mode).

May only play midway through titles.

May skip certain parts of titles.

Playback may be temporarily interrupted when switching audio functions.

Playback may be temporarily interrupted when changing view- ing angle.

Cannot use pan-and-scan function.

The title itself may disallow use of DJ operations. In this case, DJ operations are prohibited, and the same operations are per- formed as when in NORMAL mode.
