BASIC CONTROLLER OPERATIONS

TRACK SKIP

Using the TRACK SEARCH (, ) buttons

Press one of the TRACK SEARCH (, ) buttons

Each time the button is pressed, the player will skip to the beginning of the next track in the direction indicated by the button. (To skip to the beginning of the track preceding the current one, the button must be pressed twice.)

When the button is held depressed, the player moves continuously in the direction indicated. When the button is held depressed for two seconds or more, track skip is performed at higher speed.

If an attempt is made to continue the track skip earlier than the first track (track No. 1), the track skip will move to the last track.

Likewise, if an attempt is made to press the button to continue the track skip later than the last track, the track skip will move to the first track (track No. 1).

Super fast track search

While holding one of the TRACK SEARCH (, ) buttons depressed, rotate the jog dial.

While holding the button depressed, rotate the jog dial in the direction you wish to perform the track skip operation, and high-speed track skip will be performed in proportion to the amount the jog dial is turned.

The skip direction follows the direction in which the jog dial is rotated. The TRACK SEARCH button pressed has no effect on the direction.

The skip operation is canceled when the TRACK SEARCH button is released.

SWITCHING THE JOG MODE

Press the SCRATCH or JOG BREAK buttons.

The mode will switch to either the SCRATCH, JOG BREAK, or OFF mode. When a button with lighted LED is pressed, the LED indicator goes out and the Jog mode is turned OFF.

JOG DIAL FUNCTION

1Rotate during playback (pitch bend: when jog mode is OFF).

Disc rotation will be accelerated (FWD+) or decelerated (REV–) in proportion to the degree of jog dial rotation.

When jog dial rotation is stopped, the disc rotation returns to its former speed.

2Rotate during playback (scratch play: when jog mode is set to SCRATCH).

See the section “SCRATCH PLAY” (P. 38).

3Rotate during playback (jog break: when jog mode is set to JOG BREAK).

See the section “JOG BREAK PLAY” (P. 38).

4Rotate during pause mode (frame search).

Search will be performed in one-frame increments.

When the jog dial is turned in the FWD+ direction at a stable speed, the playback sound (1x speed) will be output.

5During cue standby, press one of the SEARCH (, ) buttons, then rotate jog dial (cue point search).

If the button is pressed during cue standby, if the jog mode is set to something besides SCRATCH, the unit will enter “audible pause” mode, and the jog dial can be rotated to search for a cue point candidate. Following movement of the point, pressing the CUE button sets the new cue point.

6During playback, rotate the jog dial while holding one of the SEARCH (, ) buttons depressed (super fast search). While holding the button depressed, rotate the jog dial in the direction you wish to perform the search. Search will be performed at accelerated speed, in proportion to the direction.

7During playback, rotate the jog dial while holding one of the TRACK SEARCH (, ) buttons depressed (super fast track search).

While holding the button depressed, rotate the jog dial in the direction you wish to perform the track search. Track search will be performed at accelerated speed, in proportion to the direction and amount of dial rotation.

8Rotate while holding the PITCH BEND (+/–) button depressed (super fast pitch bend).

While holding the button depressed, rotate the jog dial in the direction you wish to modify the speed; the speed will change faster than during normal pitch bend.
