DESCRIPTION CDN-34 FEATURES

1. PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will stop and

program will be indicated on the display. Select each track to be programmed and press the PROGRAM button between selections. You can program up to 30 tracks. Press PLAY to start the program. To exit and erase program hold the program button down for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off the power.

2. CONT/SING - Will cause just a single track to play or all tracks in order. Continuous play mode will cause the entire CD to repeat once the final track is ended.

3. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring, with the CD.

4. TIME (Time Button) - The TIME button switches the time display between elapsed playing time, remaining time on the track, and total CD time remaining.

5. OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) - Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray on the transport. NOTE: The tray will not open unless the disc has been paused.

6. TRACK (Track Buttons) - These buttons are used to select the track to be played.

7. Track 10 Button - This button is for quickly advancing to higher tracks on a CD.

8. PITCH (Pitch Button) - This button activates the Pitch Slider (14).

9. PITCH BEND (Pitch Bend Button) - When each of the two CD players are playing a CD, the pitch bend function allows the positioning of the bass beats to be matched after the pitch of each disc is matched. Either player can “catch up” or “fall back” to match the other player. The pitch will automatically rise while the (+) button is pressed (allowing “catch up”) and return to the original pitch when the button is released. The pitch will automatically drop while the (-) button is pressed (allowing “fall back”) and return to the original pitch when the button is released. By changing the pitch of one disc relative to the other, beats can be matched for mixing. These buttons can effect the pitch of the CD by up to +/-16%.

10. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - This wheel has 3 forward and 3 reverse speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster you search through the music.

11. PITCH/CUE JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) - This jog wheel serves 2 functions depending on the mode you are working in. a. The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new frame cue point, spin the wheel then press play when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the “CUE POINT”. b. The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music up to +/-16% if the song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of rotation.
