DESCRIPTION CDN-12 FEATURES  
1 . OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) - Press to  
load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray  
on the transport. NOTE: Tray will not open unless the disc has  
been paused.  
11. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) - This jog wheel serves 2  
functions depending on the mode you are working in.  
a . The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when  
the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To  
set a new frame cue point, spin the wheel then press play when  
you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to  
the “CUE POINT”.  
b . The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music  
if the song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to  
speed up or counterclockwise to slow down.  
2. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are  
occurring, with the CD. These functions are explained in the next  
section.  
3 . TRACK (Track Buttons) - These buttons are used to  
select the track to be played.  
12. LOOP BUTTON - Used for repeating sections in the  
music. This is not a seamless function.  
4. Track 10 Button - This button is for quickly advancing to  
higher tracks on a CD.  
13. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during play provides a return  
to the position at which play was started. If PAUSE is used  
before CUE, that will become the cue point. Alternately pressing  
the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played  
from the same position any number of times. The CUE LED will  
light up from the time the CUE button is pressed until the CD has  
reset to the position at which play was started. Steady lighting of  
this LED indicates the ready condition.  
5 . PITCH (Pitch Button) - This button activates the Pitch  
Slider (7).  
6 . PITCH BEND (Pitch Bend Button) - When each of the  
two CD players is playing a CD, the pitch bend function allows the  
positioning of the bass beats to be matched after the pitch of  
each disc is matched. Either player can “catch up” or “fall back”  
to match the other player. The pitch will automatically rise while  
the + button is pressed (allowing “catch up”) and return to the  
original pitch when the button is released. The pitch will  
automatically drop while the - button is pressed (allowing “fall  
back”) and return to the original pitch when the button is  
released. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the  
other in this way the beats can be matched.  
14.START/PAUSE (Play/Pause Button) - Each press of  
the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to change from play  
to pause or from pause to play.  
15.CONT/SING - Will cause just a single track to play or all  
tracks in order by pressing once or twice.  
16.PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will stop and  
program will be indicated on the display. Select each track to be  
programmed and press the PROGRAM button between  
selections. You can program up to 30 tracks. Press PLAY to  
start the program. To exit and erase program hold the program  
button down for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped,  
open the disc tray, or turn off the power.  
7 . PITCH SLIDER - The pitch can be changed up to  
+/-12% by pressing the PITCH button so the PITCH LED is lit,  
then moving the sliding fader. The pitch will not be changed if the  
PITCH LED is off.  
8. POWER BUTTON - Used to turn on the unit.  
9. DISC TRAY - Will accept either 8cm or 12cm discs.  
17.TIME (Time Button) - The TIME button switches the time  
display between elapsed playing time and remaining time on the  
track.  
10. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - This wheel has 3  
forward and 3 reverse speed positions for searching through  
songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster  
you search through the music.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY/PAUSE AND CUE OPERATIONS  
PLAY and CUE  
Pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button starts the disc. Pressing the “CUE” button will reset the disc to the last place where  
the disc was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button and the “CUE”  
button, the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back cue.  
PLAY, PAUSE and CUE  
EDITING CUE POINT  
When the inner search dial is turned while a cue  
point is set, a new cue point can be located. The  
CD player will repeatedly play small parts of the CD as  
you move it to the desired position. By pressing  
“PLAY/PAUSE” then “CUE” you can confirm this  
new cue point is desirable.

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND

After Matching the BPM adjust the pitch  
temporarily as follows:  
When the CD PLAYER is ahead press the  
or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise  
--  
When the CD PLAYER is behind press the  
or rotate the jog wheel clockwise  
+
or  
or  
The pitch changes automatically while the  
+
or -- button is being pressed or the jog wheel is rotated. The faster  
you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the button or wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the  
BPM’s are once again the same.)
