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
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
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 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 corresponding to the dial rotation doubles. Per- formance possibilities are enhanced by employing this function together with the ordinary mode.

The center of the jog dial is furnished with a display providing variety of information, including disc status, cue point position, audio/video memory status, jog touch detect display, and VINYL mode.
WAVE DISPLAY
Using a digital display with 0.02 % increments (within control range ±6 %), the user can accurately match the tempos of play- back 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

¶CUE POINT SAMPLER
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 the external SD memory cards, and called up later as desired.
This function allows
