A. The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when the unit is in pause or cue mode  
allowing you to set a specific cue point or find a particular starting point.  
B. The inner wheel also works as a momentary pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel  
clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 16%, and turning the wheel in the coun-  
terclockwise direction will decrease the pitch percentage up to -16%. The pitch bend will be  
determined on how fast you turn the wheel.  
2. LIqUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) - This high quality LCD Indicates all the functions (play, pause,  
cue, etc..,), as they occur. This display is viewable at several comfortable angles as described on  
page 6. The LCD icons will be described in the next section.  
3. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the PITCH (13)  
function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved  
or the PITCH (9) function has been turned off. The maximum pitch range of the slider is +/-12%. This  
adjustment can be made with or without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain even  
if a disc has been removed, and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit. That is to say, if  
you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc will also have a +2%  
pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (2). Use this slider to match the  
BPM’s of this unit to that of another music source. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to

8. CHANgINg THE TImE DISPLAy (36, 37, & 38)/TImE bAR (39):  
The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal play-  
back, pressing the TIME BUTTON (9), will change the time display information (36, 37, & 38) in the LCD (2). The  
following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:  
1) TOTAL REMAIN (34) - This details the time in the LCD (30, 29, & 28) as the current cds’ total remaining  
time.  
2) REMAIN (39) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the current tracks’ remaining running time.  
3) ELAPSED - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the current tracks’ elapsed running time.  
Note: The LCD will not display "ELAPSED", and neither the REMAIN or TOTAL REMAIN indicators will  
be displayed in the LCD.  
TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD (2) visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (36,  
37, & 38). This bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN (35) or TOTAL REMAIN (34). This  
bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three  
seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The  
flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in.  
9. PITCH ADJUSTmENTS:  
This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change  
as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 16). The maximum pitch bend percentage of the PITCH SLIDER is +/-16%.  
The PITCH SLIDER (3) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move up (towards the  
top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch  
will increase.  
Using the Pitch Slider Percentage Selector (8): you  
may choose a pitch operating range at any time. To change  
the operating range be sure the pitch function is turned  
on, see figure 10. The pitch percentage can be changed  
between +/-4%, +/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will allow the least  
amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most  
amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different values,  
press the PITCh ON/Off BUTTON (13) and Tap on the %  
BUTTON (8) until your desired value is reached. The L.E.D.  
of the % BUTTON (8); glowing yellow for 4%, glowing green  
Figure 10  
for 8%, or glowing red for 16%.  
Activating the Pitch Slider (3): To activate the  
PITCH SLIDER (3), turn the pitch function on. Press  
the PITCH BUTTON (13) to turn on the pitch func-  
tion, when the pitch function is activated a LED will  
begin to glow. If the pitch function is not activated  
neither the PITCH SLIDER (3) nor the PITCH BEND  
BUTTONS (14) will function.  
Figure 11  
Using the Pitch Slider (3): To use the PITCH  
SLIDER (3) slide the slider up and down. Down will  
increase the pitch and up will decrease the pitch.

10. PITCH bEND:  
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate  
this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (14) or with the JOG wHEEL (1). The maximum pitch bend  
percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (3)  
pitch setting.  
PITCH bEND bUTTONS (14):  
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) will  
provide a slow down. The maximum range of the PITCH BEND BUTTONS is 16%. The extent to which the  
speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH  
BEND BUTTON (14) is held down continuously, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until  
reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain. when you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) the disc speed  
will automatically return to it’s previous speed.  
Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH  
BEND BUTTON (14) will provide a speed  
bump in the playback pitch.  
Figure 13  
Holding down or tapping on the  
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) will  
provide a slow down in the play-  
back pitch.  
Figure 14  
JOg WHEEL (1):  
The JOG wHEEL (1) will temporarily bend the pitch  
if a track is in play mode Rotating the wheel in a  
clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and  
rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction  
will slow your track pitch. The speed you rotate the  
JOG wHEEL (1) will determine pitch bend percentage  
(%).
