connect the remote control and main CD
unit together.

2. POWER PLUG CONNECTOR – Plug your

supplied power cord in here.

3. RCA AUDIO CONNECTORS – Connect

line-level output.

CD PLAYER FEATURES

1. POWER SWITCH – Turn the unit on and off with this button. The unit should always be shut down with this button first

before any external power is removed. Typically it is recommended that the CD player is powered on before amplifiers
and powered off after amplifiers.

2. EJECT (Disc Tray Open/Close) – Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray on the

transport.
NOTE: Tray will not open unless the disc has been paused. Tray will automatically close after 10 seconds.

3. CD DRAWER – Place your CDs you wish to play in here. This unit is designed to play commercially available CDs and

properly burned and finalized CD-Rs. Due to variances on the specification of certain CD burners and CDs, some
homemade CDs may not play properly. We recommend burning CDs at the minimum speed possible for the best
performance.

4. PLAY/PAUSE (Play/Pause Button) – Each press of the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to change from play to

pause or from pause to play. Pressing Play after Pause sets a new cue point.

5. CUE – Pressing the CUE button during playback returns the track to the position to the cue point and pauses playback.

(See PLAY, PAUSE, & CUE OPERATIONS for more information.) For temporary play and effect, press and hold CUE
to play the track from the cue point. Releasing it will return to the cue point and pause playback.

6. STUTTER – Starts the music from the cue point.

7. LOOP IN – Used for setting a start loop point and new hot cue points during playback.

8. LOOP OUT – Used for setting the end loop point and releasing the loop action.

9. RELOOP / STUTTER – Used for either repeating a previously set loop or seamlessly stuttering on the last set hot cue

point.

10. TRACK (Track Buttons) – Used to select the track to be played.

11. SGL – Will cause just a single track to play or all tracks in order by pressing once or twice.

12. TIME (Time Button) – Switches the time display between elapsed playing time and remaining time on the track and

remaining time on the entire CD.

13. PITCH BEND / JOG WHEEL – The jog wheel serves two functions depending on its current mode.

a) If a track is not playing, the wheel will search slowly through a track's frames. To set a new frame cue point,

rotate the 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 wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the track. Rotating the wheel clockwise

temporarily speeds it up while rotating it counterclockwise slows it down. This is a useful tool for beat-matching

14. SEARCH – Pressing this button allows you to use the wheel and rapidly scan the music to find a cue point. The search

15. PITCH SLIDER – The pitch can be changed up to ±16% by moving the sliding fader.

16. PITCH (Pitch Button) – Activates the pitch slider and adjusts the amount of control the pitch slider has on the overall

PLAY, PAUSE & CUE OPERATIONS

PLAY & CUE

Pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE”
button starts the disc. Pressing
the “CUE” button will reset the
disc to the last place where the
disc was started. This is called
the cue point. By alternately
pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE”
button and the “CUE” button,
the disc may be returned and
played from the cue point any
number of times. This function
is called back cue.

PLAY, PAUSE & CUE

When play has been paused
and then started again, the
return position for the back cue
will be updated to this new
position.

EDITING CUE POINT

When the JOG WHEEL is
turned while paused at the cue
point, it will move the cue point.
You will hear the track's audio
as the player "scrubs" through
the track until you find where
you want to set your new cue
point. Press “PLAY/PAUSE”
then “CUE” to confirm the new
cue point.

MATCHING TEMPOS & BEATS

You can match your tracks' tempos by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch.
If the tempo of the music on one CD player is slower the other, move the slider to the ( + ) side to match the tempo. If it is
faster, move the pitch slider to the ( - ) side. The following instructions give an example of how to do this.

1. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1. PLAYER 1 will begin playback.

2. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2. Now, both decks should be playing.

3. Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones. If its tempo (in the headphones) is faster
than that of PLAYER 1, slow down PLAYER 2's tempo using the pitch control.

If PLAYER 2' tempo (in the headphones) is faster than that of PLAYER 1, speed up

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND

Once you have matched the tracks' tempos, you may still need to match their downbeats to create a smooth mix. You can do
this by temporarily changing the pitch with the PITCH BEND/JOG WHEEL.

After matching the tempos adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:

When a track is ahead, rotate the jog wheel counterclockwise to temporarily slow it down.

When a track is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise to temporarily speed it up.

The pitch will change while the PITCH BEND/JOG WHEEL is rotated. (The faster you rotate the wheel the
greater the shift in pitch.) Release the wheel when the downbeats are aligned the way you want them and the
track will return to its original tempo/pitch.

EXAMPLE OF MIXING USING BOTH PLAYERS OF YOUR CD PLAYER

While playing a disc on PLAYER 1, load a disc into PLAYER 2 and select your next track, match its pitch to the track playing on
PLAYER1 and when you are ready use the crossfader on your mixer to fade from PLAYER 1 to PLAYER 2.

CARACTERÍSTICAS DEL REPRODUCTOR DE CD

1. POWER SWITCH – Enciende y apaga la unidad con este botón. La unidad se debe cerrar siempre con este botón
primero antes de que se quite cualquier potencia externa. Se recomienda típicamente que accione el lector de CD,
encendido antes de los amplificadores y apagado después de los amplificadores para evitar un punto audio que se
enviará a través de su equipo.

2. EJECT (Bandeja de disco Abrir/Cerrar) – Púlselo para introducir o expulsar el disco. Cada vez que lo pulse se abrirá
o cerrará la bandeja del disco en la unidad.

NOTA: La bandeja no se abrirá a menos que el disco haya sido detenido. La bandeja se cerrará automáticamente a los
10 segundos.

3. CAJÓN DEL CD – Coloque su CDs que usted desea poner adentro. Esta unidad está diseñada para poner los CDs
comercial disponible y los CD-Rs correctamente escritos y cerrados. Debido a las variaciones en la especificación de
ciertos escritores de CD y CDs que están hechos en casa pueden funcionar incorrectamente. Para obtener los mejores
resultados, recomendamos quemar los CD a la mínima velocidad posible.

4. PLAY/PAUSE (Botón de reproducción/pausa) – Cada vez que se pulsa el botón de reproducción/pausa esto hace
que se cambie de reproducción a pausa o de pausa a reproducción. Presionando PLAY después del PAUSE de crea
un nuevo punto cue.

5. CUE – Si se pulsa el botón CUE durante la reproducción, la pista vuelve a la posición del punto cue y se pone la
reproducción en pausa. (Para más información, consulte OPERACIONES DE REPRODUCCIÓN, PAUSA Y CUE.)
Mantenga pulsada la tecla CUE a tocar la pista en el punto cue. Suéltelo para volver al punto cue y hacer una pausa en
la reproducción.

6. STUTTER – Comienza la música del punto cue.

7. LOOP IN – Fija el tartamudeo y las puntas de entrada del bucle.

8. LOOP OUT – Fijar las puntas de la salida del bucle y deja salir del bucle.

comienzo previamente fijado, y hot start.

10. TRACK (Botones de pista) – Utilizados para seleccionar la pista que se va a reproducir.

11. SGL – Conmuta entre reproducción única y continua. En modo de reproducción única, aparece "Single" en la pantalla
LCD y la reproducción en esa bandeja se detiene después de cada pista. En modo de reproducción continua, la
bandeja reproduce las pistas en sucesión sin detenerse.

12. TIME (Botón de tiempo) – Cambia la visualización del tiempo entre el tiempo de reproducción transcurrido y el tiempo
restante en la pista y el tiempo restante en todo el CD.

13. RUEDA DE INFLEXIÓN DE PITCH/AVANCE LENTO – Esta rueda de avance lento tiene 2 funciones dependiendo del
modo en el que se encuentre.

a) Si no se está reproduciendo una pista, la rueda busca lentamente a lo largo de los frames de la pista. Para

determinar un nuevo punto cue de frame, gire la rueda y comience a reproducir una vez que haya determinado la
posición adecuada. Pulse CUE para volver a ese punto cue.

b) Si se está reproduciendo una pista, la rueda inflexiona temporalmente el pitch de la misma. Al girar la rueda en

sentido horario, la acelera temporalmente, mientras que si se gira en sentido antihorario la desacelera. Ésta es
una herramienta útil para igualar el beat (consulte CÓMO IGUALAR TEMPOS Y BEATS).
