through the three repeat modes: ALL, 1 or

Using the main unit menu system

1Press the appropriate MENU key and turn
the MULTI DIAL until the display shows PLAY
MENU. Push the MULTI DIAL.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
REPEATMODE?. Push the MULTI DIAL.
3Turn the MULTI DIAL so that the display

Push the MULTI DIAL.
The appropriate indicator (
REPEAT ALL
or

) lights in the display when a repeat
mode is active.

Continuous playback

When this is enabled (the CONT PLAY indicator is
lit), when playback ends on the drive currently play-
ing back (either because the end of the disc or the end
of programmed playback is reached), playback auto-
matically starts on the other drive, if a playable disc
is inserted in it.
If the playback order changes to a drive without a
playable disc loaded, the playback stops when the
lack of a disc is discovered by the CD-RW402.
NOTE
If a repeat mode is selected (“Repeat playback” on
page 24), the repeat potion will keep repeating, and
playback will not be transferred to the other drive
while repeat is active.
When a drive is not playing back, the tray may be
opened, and the disc may be replaced with another
disc, allowing continuous playback of varied pro-
gram material. The order of tracks to be played back
may be programmed on the “idle” drive, and on drive
1 the TOC may be edited, etc.
Use the transport keys and control on the active drive
to control playback.
Press the CONT PLAY key to turn off the indicator to
cancel this function.
The COMMON analog outputs are probably most
useful when using this function, as the output will
always be that of the drive currently playing.

Pitch control (drive 1 only)

The pitch (and speed) of the playback can be altered
between –9.9% and +9.9%.
This allows “stretching” or “compressing” of mate-
rial to fit available slots.
NOTE
When pitch control is on, the display shows the nominal
time taken from the code on the CD, not the actual
elapsed or remaining time at the new speed. Do not use
the display for timing pitch changed-material.

Turning pitch control on and off

Use the PITCH key on the main unit or the remote
control unit to turn the function on or off. The indica-
tor lights when pitch control is ena bled (even if the
pitch value is set to 0.0%).

Setting the pitch value (i)

To set the pitch control from the main unit:
1Press the appropriate MENU key and turn
the MULTI DIAL until the display shows PLAY
MENU. Push the MULTI DIAL.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
PITCH ?. Push the MULTI DIAL.
3Turn the MULTI DIAL so that the display
shows PITCH> x.x%, where xx is anything
between –9.9% and 9.9%. 0.0%, of course, is
the standard pitch. The value is set
immediately.
4Push the MULTI DIAL to exit the menu setting
mode.
