Before Operating (Features)
Features
This player has been designed to provide CD/DVD playback fea- tures and functions demanded by professional disco club DJs and VJs. It is a professional DVD player equipped with opera- tional ease, sound quality, and functions superior to those found on the professional analog players conventionally used by DJs.
JOG DIAL
¶PITCH BEND
Changes playback pitch in proportion to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation.
¶SCRATCH PLAY
In VINYL mode, when the top surface of the jog dial is touched, playback stops and starts in response to the direction and speed of jog dial rotation. The user can also adjust the sensitivity of
¶FRAME SEARCH
When the jog dial is rotated during pause, the pause position is changed in units of individual frames (1/75th second).
¶SUPER FAST SEARCH
When the jog dial is rotated while depressing the manual search button, track search button or title/folder search button, the search will be performed more quickly than the conventional search or track search (or title/chapter search) functions.
¶HYPER JOG MODE
In VINYL mode, when the jog dial is rotated, the amount of sound or image change quadruples (x4) in response to the rotation. Per- formance possibilities are enhanced by employing this function together with the ordinary mode.
JOG ADJUST
This function allows you to adjust the felt resistance when rotat- ing the jog dial.
ON JOG DISPLAY
The center of the jog dial is furnished with a display providing vari- ety of information, including disc status, cue point position, audio/ video memory status, jog touch detect display, and VINYL mode.
WAVE DISPLAY
With an analog record, the user could look for the breaks in the grooves to use as mix points and end points. In the same way, the WAVE display reveals track breaks in advance, allowing the DJ to use them as break points.
CUE/LOOP MEMORY
Cue points and loop points can be recorded for each disc on external SD memory cards or Multimedia cards (MMC), and re- called later as desired.
HOT CUE
Up to 3 hot cue points (A, B, C) can be recorded in advance and called up later for instant playback from those points. Hot cues can be used not only to record normal cue points, but also for loop point playback.
REVERSE PLAY
By pulling the DIRECTION select switch toward the front (REV position), tracks can be played in reverse.
TEMPO CONTROL
Using a digital display with 0.02 % increments (within control range ±6 %), the user can accurately and easily match the tem- pos of playback tracks.
¶TEMPO CONTROL RANGE
Four tempo control ranges are provided: ±6 %, ±10 %, ±16 %, and WIDE.
¶TEMPO CONTROL RESET
This control allows tempo to be reset to the default 0 % status instantly, regardless of the slider position.
¶MASTER TEMPO
Allows pitch to be maintained while changing track speed.
CUE
¶BACK CUE
By previously recording a cue point, it can be returned to instantly by pressing the CUE button during subsequent playback, thus starting playback again from that point.
¶AUTO CUE
This function cues a track by skipping the
¶CUE POINT SAMPLER

Loops can be set quickly during track playback; also allows quick set- ting of a loop immediately before the end of a track, thus pre- venting the track from ending. In addition, loop functions have been facilitated by the addition of an ADJUST mode that allows
