possible for the best performance.
4.
JOG WHEEL – The jog wheel serves many functions depending on its current mode.
a)
If a track is not playing, the JOG WHEEL will search slowly through a track's frames. To set a new cue point,
rotate the JOG WHEEL then begin playback when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return
to that cue point.
b)
If a track is playing, the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the JOG WHEEL
clockwise temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-
matching (see MATCHING TEMPOS & BEATS).
c)
When the SEARCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will scan rapidly through the track.
d)
When the SCRATCH button has been activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL will "scratch" over the audio of the
track, like a needle on a record.
5.
SCRATCH – Activates or deactivates Scratch Mode. While activated, rotating the JOG WHEEL creates a 'scratch'
effect. The LED indicator will be blue when Scratch Mode is active. (Note: This feature is not optimal for searching
through long audio passages. For longer searches, activate the SEARCH function.)
6.
SEARCH – Pressing this button allows you to use the JOG WHEEL to rapidly scan through the music. The LED
indicator will be red when Search Mode is active.
7.
CUE – During playback, pressing CUE will return to the most recent point where playback was started and will pause the
track. Holding down CUE will start playback from this point, and releasing CUE will cause it to return to that point and
will pause the track. Also, if the track is paused, you can use the JOG WHEEL to locate a new cue point.
8.
PLAY / PAUSE – Plays or pauses the track. (Note: When paused, pressing PLAY will only set a new cue point if the
JOG WHEEL has been moved.)
9.
TRACK SELECT – Used to select the track to be played.
10.
FOLDER SELECT – Used to navigate folders on an MP3 disc.
11.
FOLDER / +10 – Toggles between Folder and Track Mode. When in Folder Mode, you can use the FOLDER SELECT
buttons to navigate the folders of an MP3 disc. When in Track Mode, you can use the TRACK SELECT buttons to skip
forward or backward 10 tracks at a time.
12.
LOOP IN – Sets a new cue point or the start point of a loop (a "Loop In" point) during playback.
13.
LOOP OUT – Sets the end point of a loop (a "Loop Out" point) and starts playing the loop. While playing a loop, press
LOOP OUT to release it from the loop and continue normal playback.
14.
RELOOP – Plays the track immediately from the beginning of a loop (and reactivates the loop).
15.
PITCH – Activates or deactivates the PITCH FADER. You can also hold down this button and press the PITCH BEND –
/+ buttons to adjust the range of the PITCH FADER (±4%, 8%, and 16%). The current range will be indicated on the
LCD and by different LED colors.
16.
PITCH FADER – The pitch can be changed by pressing the PITCH button so a PITCH LED is lit, then moving the sliding
fader. The pitch will not be changed if the PITCH LED is off.
17.
PITCH BEND -/+ – You can use these two pitch bend buttons to temporarily adjust the pitch and tempo of the music.
18.
KEY LOCK – While Key Lock is enabled, adjusting the pitch of the music playing on the deck will only influence its
tempo independent of its musical pitch.
19.
TAP – Tap this button in time with the beats of the music on that deck. This will enter a new BPM ("beats per minute")
reading for that track, which will be shown on the LCD. You can allow the automatic beat-counter to read the track's
BPMs by holding it down until "AUTOBPM" is shown on the LCD.
20.
RELAY – Press this button to activate or deactivate Relay Play. When activated, relay play will cause the opposite deck
to start playing whenever the currently playing deck stops. Playback will alternate between the two decks until one of
the decks reaches the end of its disc or until Relay Play is deactivated.
21.
TIME – Switches the time display between "ELAPSED" playing time, "REMAINING" time on the track, and "TOTAL"
remaining time on the entire CD. Hold the button down to toggle between Single Play (the deck will stop at the end of
each track) or Continuous Play (the entire disc will be played without interruption).
22.
ID-3 TAG – Press this button to display additional MP3 information. Pressing it more than once will toggle through all
the available information, including the track title, artist name, name of the current folder, and file name.
23.
LCD – Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring, with the CD.
