12. PITCH RANGE Button: Every time you press this button, you will change the

scale of the speed slider(15). On normal audio CDs you can select +/-4%, +/-8%,
+/-16% and +/-100%. The +/-100% option is not available on MP3 CDs.

13. PITCH LOCK Button: (Master tempo) activates the Pitch Lock function. This

function allows you to make adjustments to a tracks speed using the pitch control
without altering its tonal pitch. This button turns red when the Pitch Lock is on.

NOTE: be informed that the pitch lock function has its limitations. From a certain speed deviation
(depends on the music style) the pitch lock won’t be able to keep the same pitch anymore. First
you will hear a small distortion that becomes more important at higher speed deviations. This is
not always a disadvantage: at very low speeds you can also use it as a special “distortion effect”!

14. SPEED Button: This button is used to turn the speed function on and off.

15. SPEED slider: Press the SPEED button(14), so it is lit. The speed can be

changed up to +/-100% by moving the fader. The speed will not change if the

17. SGL/CTN Button: with this button you can choose between “single track mode”

and “continuous play”. You can also switch the auto cue function (-48dB) on and
off.

• Continuous play: the complete CD will be played without interruption.
(mostly used in pubs)

• Single track: player stops at the end of each track and waits at the
beginning of the next track. The player waits at the first music note of each
track. This means that badly indexed CDs will not interfere with the instant
start capabilities of this CD player. This is a very useful feature for deejays!

• Auto Cue on/off: The MCD200 automatically detects the first “music note”
on each track to ensure the music starts immediately when you press the
play button. To turn this Auto Cue function on/off just press the SGL/CTN
button for about 2 seconds. The display shows “A.CUE” when the function is
active.

18. PITCH BEND buttons: The speed rises while the “+ button” is pressed and

returns to the original pitch when the button is released. The speed drops when
the “– button” is pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is
released. These buttons can be used to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks.

• The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is

not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin
the wheel then press PLAY(8) or LOOP IN(3) when you have determined the
proper position. Press CUE(6) to return to the “CUE POINT”.

• If the track is playing, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up

to +/-100% by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed it up or counterclockwise
to slow it down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of
rotation. This is an alternative to the PITCH BEND buttons(18).

• In scratch mode the jog wheel is used to manipulate the playback of the music

in real time. As a result you can scratch the music on your CD the way you do
this with a normal analog vinyl record.

HOW TO USE …

Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter “controls and
functions” In this chapter we talk about the functions that need a little more
explanation.

• SLEEP MODE:

The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 15
minutes (when in pause or cue mode). This extends the life of your motor drive and
laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word “SLEEP”. To wake up the
player, just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is ready to
receive instructions.

• FOLDER / TRACK SELECTORS:

Most of the time a CDR contains a lot of MP3 files (sometimes 150 or more). To
keep things manageable you can sort your MP3 files in different subfolders
(directories). These folders can be named after the names of the performers, after

JB SYSTEMS® 8/53 MCD200

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

the music genres (techno, slows, salsa …), the BPM count (100BPM, 110BPM,
120BPM …) or any other idea you have to sort your music…
With the FOLDER / TRACK selectors you can easily browse through the different
folders and tracks. You can put the MCD200 in FOLDER mode and TRACK mode:

• FOLDER MODE: use the FOLDER selector to select the desired folder. With

the TRACK selector you can select the desired MP3 track in this folder. Note
that you can only select tracks inside the selected folder. To go to another folder
just use the FOLDER selector.

• TRACK MODE: To select track mode, just press the TRACK selector shortly:

you will be able to browse all the tracks on your CD as if no subfolders where
present. To move quickly (by 10tracks) through the CD, press the TRACK
selector while turning it forward/backward. To turn back to folder mode, press or

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

• EDIT A LOOP

When a loop is programmed, press the RELOOP/STUTTER button for about 2
seconds to enter “loop edit” mode. While the loop is seamlessly playing, the
alphanumerical display shows the time information of the loop endpoint. Use the big
jog wheel to set the new loop endpoint. To make things very easy you can hear
your modifications to the loop endpoint continuously. When the loop is perfect,
press the LOOP OUT button to save the new loop endpoint and leave the loop.

NOTE: You can store loops under the HOT CUE buttons. This means that you have up to 4 loops
per track to play with. In the next paragraph you learn how to store these loops.

• STORING A MASTER CUE POINT

There are 2 ways to set a master cue point:

turn the FOLDER selector.

• RELAY FUNCTION:

• First check if the special fader start cable connects the two MCD200 players.

• Put a disc in both players.

• Open the 2 channel faders of the corresponding CD inputs on your mixer.

• Check if both players are in Single mode (the “single” indicator(13) on the

display appears). If one of the players is not in single mode, press its SGL/CNT
button(17) of that player.

• Begin playback on one of the two players.

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button to recall it.

• STORING A SIMPLE CUE POINT TO THE “HOT CUE” BUTTONS

First press the MEMORY button(9) to make the unit enter hot cue memory mode
(MEMORY button is lit).

• Alternately a track will be played from both players. You can always put a new
CD in the player that is waiting in pause. In this way you can create an endless
program, perfect for use in pubs etc.

Remove the relay cable if you don’t want to use the relay function anymore.

• CREATE A LOOP

While a track is playing, press IN/R.CUE button to program the starting point of the
loop. Now press the OUT/EXIT button to program the endpoint of the loop. The
seamless loop starts playing at once. (With some practice you will be able to create
perfect loops!) While the loop is playing, you can press the OUT/EXIT button again
to exit the loop and continue the rest of the track.
It is possible to program a new loop, even when the current loop is still playing.
While the loop is playing, simply press the IN/R.CUE button to set the starting point
of the new loop. Now enter the endpoint by pressing the OUT/EXIT button. Your
new loop is programmed and playing.

• RESTART A LOOP

This can be done in 3 ways:

• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT/EXIT button,
just press RELOOP to restart the loop.

• When a loop is programmed and you left it by pressing the OUT/EXIT button,
just press OUT/EXIT again to restart the loop. The point where you pressed
OUT/EXIT is now programmed as the new endpoint of the loop.

• When the loop is still playing, press the RELOOP button to restart the loop
immediately. You can repeat this several times to create a “Stutter” effect.

:

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the HOT CUE button to start
playback from the stored cue point.

• STORING A LOOP TO THE “HOT CUE” BUTTONS

This is very similar to storing a simple cue point. The only difference is that you
have to put the MCD200 in loop mode first. When the loop is playing, you press the
MEMORY button to make the CD-player enter hot cue memory mode (MEMORY
button is lit). After this press one of the four HOT CUE buttons: the HOT CUE
button you just pressed turns to green colour to indicate that the loop, playing at

:

that moment, is stored. You can store up to 4 loops!

• STORING HOT CUE MEMORIES TO THE PERMANENT INTERNAL MEMORY:

For each CD you can store up to 4 cue points and loops to the internal permanent
memory. At a later time you can recall these cue points and loops when you insert
the same CD again. The MCD200 can hold up to 2048 (512 x 4) Cue points and
loops. Writing the contents of the HOT CUE buttons to permanent memory is very
simple: just press the MEMORY button for about 2 seconds until the display shows
“SAVING”. That’s all!

NOTE: When you put another CD in the disc tray without first writing the current HOT CUE
memories to the internal permanent memory, they will be lost.

:

:

• Press the IN/R.CUE button during normal playback to set the new cue point
(“CUE on the fly”).

• Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact
location for the cue point. Once this location is found, press “IN/R. CUE” button
to set the new cue point. (or press PLAY/PAUSE button)

:

• Press one of the four HOT CUE buttons at the right moment during normal
playback: the HOT CUE button you just pressed turns to red colour to indicate
that the desired cue point is stored. (“Cue on the fly”).

• Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search for the exact
location for the cue point. Once this location is found, press one of the four HOT
CUE buttons to set the new cue point: the HOT CUE button you just pressed
turns to red colour to indicate that the desired cue point is stored.

• RECALLING HOT CUE MEMORIES FROM PERMANENT INTERNAL MEMORY:

If you have stored permanent cue points and loops for a CD, you can choose to
recall these while reloading that CD at a later time.

• RECALL: Before loading the CD, just press the MEMORY button until it starts

flashing and the display shows “RECALL”. Now press the OPEN/CLOSE button
to load the CD. It takes some seconds to load the HOT CUE buttons, during this
time the display shows “RECALL”. If no permanent cue points where found, the
MCD200 stops the recall process automatically.

• DON’T RECALL: Just insert the CD as usual and start playback. The MCD200

will ignore the permanent cue point information for this CD.

• DELETE THE CURRENT “HOT CUE” BUTTONS:

This can be done in two ways:

During this action the display shows “clearALL”.

CAUTION: THIS ACTION IS IRRIVERSIBLE, ALL CUE POINTS/LOOPS WILL BE DELETED!!!

• PITCH BENDING:

This function is used to put the beats of two tracks in perfect sync. This can be
done in two ways:

• PITCH BEND buttons: The speed increases or decreases respectively as long
as the PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND- button is pressed.

• JOG WHEEL: During play mode the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch
of the music by turning the JOG WHEEL clockwise to speed up or
counterclockwise to slowdown. The rotation speed the JOG WHEEL determines

the percent of pitch bend.

• PLAYING MP3 FILES:

The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MCD200 is
able to read several different MP3 formats. The display shows some of the ID3­tags (song title / performer / folder name / bitrate). The CD may contain up to 999
MP3- files, spread over maximum 255 folders.
The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3
Check the technical specifications to see which MP3-files are allowed.

• PLAYING CD-R and CD-RW:

Apart from normal audio CD’s the MCD200 can play both CD-R (CD recordable)
and CD-RW (CD rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the “disc at
once” and “track at once” disc writing options! Burning your CD’s at speeds higher
than 12x can cause reading errors. If the disc is multi session, it will only play the
first session:

o if the first session is CD-DA you can only play CD-DA tracks.
o if the first session is MP3 you can only play MP3 files.

1. Bouton SEARCH: Ce bouton possède 4 positions de vitesse avant et 4 positions

de vitesse arrière pour rechercher des passages sur votre CD. Au plus que vous
tournez le bouton dans une direction, au plus vite se fera la lecture de votre CD.

2. Touches TRACK SEARCH: Ces touches sont utilisées pour sélectionner la

plage du CD qui doit être lue. Saut en avant & saut en arrière.

3. Touche IN/R.CUE: Vous permet de définir le point CUE sans arrêter la lecture

(CUE VOLANT). Cette touche définit également le début d’une boucle sans fin
(seamless loop) Si vous utilisez une des touches hot CUE (19), le point de départ
sera également copié vers cette touche.

4. Touche OUT/EXIT: est utilisée pour déterminer la fin de la boucle pendant la

création de « loops ». Le lecteur CD reproduira la boucle sans fin jusqu'à-ce que
vous appuyez a nouveau sur cette touche pour sortir de la boucle et continuer la
lecture normale. Quand une boucle est programmée mais pas activé vous
pouvez également redémarrer la boucle avec cette touche. L’endroit où vous
appuyez sur la touche pendant la lecture sera mémorisé comme nouveau point
de sortie de la boucle. Quand le lecteur est en “loop edit mode” (édition de
boucle) et que vous appuyez sur cette touche, l’édition de la boucle s’arrête et le
point de fin de boucle actuel est mis en mémoire.

5. Touche RELOOP/STUTTER: Cette touche a 3 fonctions:
