2. SOURCE SELECTOR – Press this button to select your desired playback source. Select either CD Player, USB 1, or USB 2. The source indicator LED will light when the selected source is activated.

3. TIME – The TIME button is used to change the displayed time values. Time can be displayed as elapsed track time, remaining track time, and total disc remaining time. Total disc remaining time can only be displayed for standard CDs.

4. 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.

5. PITCH SLIDER – This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the pitch (8) function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved or the pitch (8) function has been turned off. The maximum pitch range of the slider is +/-100%. This adjustment can be made with or without a music source. The pitch adjustment will remain even if a music source has been removed and will reflect on any other music source that is loaded into the unit. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one music source, remove it, and insert another, that music source will also have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (4). Use this slider to match the BPMs of this unit to that of another music source. By changing the pitch of one music source to the other in this way, the beats can be matched.

6. SGL/CTN – This button has two functions; it allows the unit’s play mode to change between Single and Continuous and it activates Auto Cue. In single mode, the unit will play a single track and return to cue mode.

SeTTING A CUe POINT

”Cueing” is the action of preparing for playback. The unit is designed to automatically cue at the first audible signal on the first track of a disc when a disc is inserted. If a track is selected before a disc is inserted, the unit will automatically cue to the first audible signal for the selected track. You may press the IN BUTTON (11) on the fly (while the disc is playing). This will set a CUE Point without music interruption. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (17) will now return you to this exact point.

CHANGING THe TIMe DISPlAy (37)/TIMe BAR (36)
The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal playback, pressing the TIME BUTTON (3), will change the time display information (37) in the LCD (4). The following is a breakdown of the time settings and their definitions:

1. TOTAL REMAIN – This details the time in the LCD as the current CD’s total remaining time.
2. REMAIN – This details the time in the Lcd as the current track’s remaining running time.
3. ELAPSED – This details the time in the Lcd as the current track’s elapsed running time.

TIME BAR INDICATOR – The time bar in the LCD (4) visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (37). This bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN, ELAPSED, or TOTAL REMAIN. 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.

PITCH ADJUSTMENTS
This function will increase or decrease the playback speed or “PITCH,” of a track. The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-100% for CD tracks and +/-16% for USB mp3s. The pITch sLIdER (8) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is moved 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.

Activating the Pitch Slider (5): To activate the PITCH SLIDER (5), turn the pitch function on. Press the PITCH BUTTON (8) to turn on the pitch function, when the pitch function is activated a LED will begin to glow. If the pitch function is not activated the PITCH SLIDER (5) will not function .

The pitch percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and 100%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different values, press the pITch ON/Off BuTTON (8) and Tap on the % BuTTON (8) until your desired value is reached. The LED of the % BuTTON (8); is glowing red for 4%, glowing yellow for 8%, or glowing amber for 16%, and all LEDs glowing for 100%.

PITCH BeND:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a track’s playback speed. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (13) or with the JOG WHEEL (19). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH slide (5) pitch setting.

PITCH BeND BUTTONS (14):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (13) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (13) will provide a slowdown. The maximum range of the PITCH BEND BUTTONS is 100%. 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 (13) is held down continuously, the speed will increase and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain.

When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (13) the speed will automatically return to its previous speed.

JOG WHeel (19):
The JOG WHEEL (19) 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 (19) will determine pitch bend percent-

Creating and playing a Loop
A loop is a sound loop that plays continuously. You can use this loop to create dramatic effect in your mixing. This loop has no time limit and you could actually loop the entire length of disc.
