JOG WHEEL - Four Modes:
1)During play, in Play mode: While a song is playing, the wheel is used for pitch bending. This allows you to temporarily change the speed of the music to align the beats with the other deck. To briefly speed up a song, turn the wheel clockwise. To briefly slow down a song, turn the wheel counter-clockwise. The faster you rotate the wheel the more the pitch will change. When you stop spinning the wheel, the pitch will return to normal.
2)When paused, in Play mode: When the unit is paused, the wheel is used for finding a new cue point. See the CUE section below for more information on setting cue points.
3)During search, in Play Mode: The wheel is used for fast forward or fast backwards while the search button is activated.
4)During select mode: The wheel is used for menu navigation.
PLAY/PAUSE 
- Starts the music from the last set cue point or pauses the music if already playing. By pressing “PLAY” after “PAUSE” a new cue point will be set. Note: Pressing “PLAY” while browsing in select mode puts the HDCD1 into play mode and plays the selected track from the beginning.
CUE – The cue point is where the music will begin when PLAY is pressed. Pressing CUE while a track is playing will cause the track to return to it’s cue point and pause. The default cue point is the beginning of the track, but it can be changed when play is started at a different point. For instance, if the music is paused, and PLAY is then pressed, a new cue point is set. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel while the unit is paused. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new cue point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the song to be played from the same position any number of times.
Note: Holding the cue button down will play the song from this point until the button is released.
Note: Pressing the CUE button while browsing in select mode will switch the HDCD1 into play mode and cue the selected track to the beginning.
PITCH SLIDER – The pitch slider is used to adjust the tempo of the currently loaded song to match the tempo of another song. Move the slider in the (+) direction to speed up or in the (-) direction to slow down. By making this adjustment the speed of two songs can be matched, though the beat of the songs may not yet be in sync. Use the jog wheel to make minor pitch corrections to help get the beats in sync.
LOOP IN - Press to set the “loop in” point. This marks the beginning point of a loop. The default “loop in” point is set to the beginning of the track.
LOOP OUT – Press to set the “loop out” point. This marks the end point of a loop, and when pressed during play, will cause the music to return to the “loop in” point and play in a loop until the “loop out” button is pressed again.
RELOOP – Pressing this button will cause the music to return to the “loop in” point and begin playing the loop again.
SEARCH - Two modes:
1)HD browsing: When browsing the hard drive, press the SEARCH button to activate the search function. You can search for a track by artist, song title, album title or playlist.
2)During play: When pressed during play mode, the SEARCH button toggles the jog wheel between pitch bend mode and fast search mode. When in search mode, the jog wheel can be used to rapidly scan forwards or backwards in a track. Note: The search function automatically shuts off after 8 seconds of non-use or you may turn it off manually by pressing SEARCH again. This is to prevent accidental searching after the proper play point has been found.

Basics of MP3
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. The MPEG “ripping” process compresses the audio into a very small file, while retaining its most of it’s original quality. By eliminating certain sound frequencies that can't be heard by the human ear, the audio is compressed into a file much smaller than the original, allowing you to fit more music on your hard drive. The size of the compressed file directly corresponds to the audio quality of the compressed file. The less compression, and therefore the larger the file, the better the audio quality. Using more compression will result in a smaller file but the sound quality may be noticeably degraded. The key is to find a balance between manageable file size and acceptable sound quality.
The HDCD1 can read any standard CBR (constant bit-rate) or VBR (variable bit-rate) MP3 format up to 320kbps.
MP3 files also include data at the beginning or end of the saved file called an ID3 tag. This information contains the artist, album, song, and genre data that the HDCD1 reads to allow you to quickly search for songs. There are many free programs on the internet that can be used to modify ID3 tag information. We recommend using one of these programs to make artist and other ID3 tag information consistent to make your searches more efficient.

Loading The HDCD1
There are 4 ways to load the HDCD1.
1)You can use your computer to “rip” your songs from your CDs. This is often the quickest way to convert CDs to MP3 files. Many MP3 programs will allow you to connect to the online Gracenote Music Recognition Service for automatic creation of ID3 tag information.
After ripping your MP3 files on your computer, you can load the HDCD1 via the included “HDCD Manager” software and by connecting the HDCD1 to your PC via USB. Simply Drag and Drop. You can create playlists and edit ID3 data from this software as well.
2)(Fastest Method) If you have a CD Burner on your computer you can also burn data CDs of your MP3 files. (this is a good way to back up your files as well)
•Place the MP3 CD in the unit. The MP3 CD will load and show data in the HDCD1.
•After the unit shows the first song on the disc, press BACK until you see “MP3 CD” in the display.
•Press the RECORD button on the HDCD1.
•When you see “RAPID ARCHIVE” in the display, press the SELECT button.
•The HDCD1 should start transferring the MP3 files from the CD onto the hard drive.
3)You can also rip an Audio CD directly from the HDCD1 itself.
Compression options of 128kbps, 320kbps, and CD Quality are provided. When recording from the internal CD drives, the HDCD1 uses its internal processor to first copy the CD data to your hard drive, then later you can archive it via the “Rapid Archive” function. We offer this feature for your convenience, though you may find faster ways to rip CDs using one of the many shareware programs available online.
First you must determine the desired audio quality that you will want when you compress and convert the CD tracks into MP3 files.
•Press the UTILITY button.
•Select “COMPRESSION”.
•Select “CD” and choose the encoding quality (128kbps/320kbps/CD Quality) by pressing the select button.
•Press “BACK”.

•The unit will now begin the compression process.
Note: Because compressing takes time, you should do this when you don’t need to use the unit for other tasks. While the HDCD1 is perfectly capable of compressing these audio files, you may find that your computer is much faster.
If your CD was not available in the Gracenote database stored internally in the HDCD1, you can update the internal database with information from the online version of the Gracenote Music Recognition Service:
•Start the HDCD MANAGER software and connect the unit via USB.
•Press the “Gracenote” button.
•Click on the album you want to lookup from the list at the top. If you did not name it, look for “ALBUM.0000”
•Press the “search database” button. Your computer will then poll the Gracenote Music Recognition database to attempt to match the album to retrieve title and artist information. If it finds any matches, they will appear in the box below. Just click on the correct selection and press the “Accept” button. If it finds no matching album it will prompt you to enter the information manually.
Note, music recognition technology and related data are provided by Gracenote®. Gracenote is the industry standard in music recognition technology and related content delivery. For more information visit www.gracenote.com.
4)The HDCD1 is also capable of recording and encoding directly from the input jacks on the rear of the unit:
First you must determine the desired audio quality that you will want when you compress and convert the audio recording into an MP3 file:
•Press the UTILITY button.
•Select “COMPRESSION”.
•Select “LINE” and choose the encoding quality (128kbps/320kbps/CD Quality) by pressing the select button.
•Press “BACK”.
Next, connect your line level source to the input jacks on the rear of the unit. If recording from a turntable you will need to use a phono preamp to boost the signal from phono level to line level.
•Press the RECORD button on deck 1.
•Select “EXTERNAL LINE IN”.
•The HDCD1 will auto-detect an incoming audio signal and start recording. When the signal is no longer present, recording will stop automatically. You can also press the BACK button to stop the recording manually.
•The recorded file will be named “LineIn.0000”. The number will increment for subsequent recorded files. You can rename this file later by following the “Editing Song Information” section of this manual.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY/PAUSE AND CUE OPERATIONS
PLAY & CUE
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button starts the song. Pressing the CUE button will reset the song to the last place where the song was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button and the CUE button, the song may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back cue.
PLAY, PAUSE & CUE
When the disc is paused and the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed again to resume play the return position for back cue will be updated as a new cue point.
EDITING THE CUE POINT
To fine tune the cue point, use the jog wheel. If the jog wheel is turned while a song is cued, a new cue point will be defined. You must press PLAY, then CUE before this operation can be performed. The HDCD1 will repeatedly play small parts of the song as you turn the wheel to move to the desired position in the song. Then by pressing PLAY/PAUSE, then CUE you will establish the new cue point location.

LOOPING OPERATIONS
LOOPING: A loop is any area of a song that you choose to repeat with no breaks.
LOOP IN: The LOOP IN point is where you wish the loop to start. The initial cue point of the song is also the default LOOP IN point. If you wish to set a new LOOP IN
point, just press 
while the CD is playing when it
reaches the desired point. The 
button will light indicating a LOOP IN point has been set. By default the LOOP IN point also becomes a “STUTTER” or “HOT START” point that can be triggered by pressing the RELOOP button.
NOTE: The unit will always remember a new set point as the “LOOP IN” or “HOT START” point until you actually set a new “LOOP IN” point or put in a new song.
LOOP OUT: The LOOP OUT point determines the end of the loop. The first time you press 
while a song is in play mode, the LOOP OUT button will light and the song will return to the LOOP IN point with no break and continue to play. When the song reaches the LOOP OUT point again it will return to the LOOP IN point and continue to repeat this action. The LOOP IN button will also be blinking during loop play. To release or end the LOOP press LOOP OUT a second time. Play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set LOOP OUT point. The LOOP OUT button will be lit indicating that the loop is now in memory and can be reactivated by using the RELOOP button.
Note: The LOOP OUT point will be erased if LOOP IN is pressed or a new cue point is set after the LOOP OUT point. This is important because without this point, the “RELOOP” feature will not work.
MOVING LOOP POINTS: The LOOP IN point can be moved while the music
is playing just by pressing 
at the new desired point. The next time the LOOP OUT point is reached, the CD will return to this new LOOP IN point. If LOOP IN is pressed after the LOOP OUT point it will clear the LOOP OUT point.
The LOOP OUT point can also be moved while a loop is playing. Press 
to release the old LOOP OUT point and press it again at the new desired LOOP OUT point.

RELOOP/STUTTER This button performs 2 different functions depending on the current loop setting.
Reloop is only possible if loop points have already been set. The RELOOP function automatically returns the music to the LOOP IN point and will play the loop until it is released with the LOOP OUT button.
Stutter starts instant play from previously set “Hot” point. Simply set your stutter (Hot Start) point by following the directions for setting the LOOP IN point because the points are the same. Remember this button is also used for the reloop function, so if a loop out point has been set, the unit will also loop until the loop is released.
NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set of “hot” points until you actually set a new LOOP IN point or put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a LOOP IN point on another track, pressing
will jump to that point.

When the tempo of the music of the selected player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the pitch fader to the “+” side and match the tempo. When you want to slow down the selected player, faster, move the pitch slider to the “-“ side. The following describes how you might match the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the tempo of the song being played on PLAYER 1.
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1. PLAYER 1 is playing.
When PLAYER 2 is slow compared to PLAYER 1 speed up PLAYER 2
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2. Both CD players are now playing.
Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones
When PLAYER 2 is fast compared to PLAYER 1 slow down PLAYER 2
MATCHING BEATS USING PITCH BEND
If you find the BPM (tempo) is the same on both decks, but the drum beats do not hit at the same time, you will need to temporarily change the pitch by using the pitch bend feature as shown below. The example below shows how you might bend the pitch of the song on player 2 to match the tempo of the song on player 1.
If PLAYER 2 is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise to bend pitch faster
If PLAYER 2 is ahead, rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise to bend pitch slower.
The pitch changes as long as the wheel is being rotated. The faster you spin the wheel, the more the pitch will be changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch and BPM.
