(-) PITCH BEND - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary "Slow Down" in the CD's pitch

speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the PITCH (10) function is activated. This functions allows the
beats between two CD's or any other music source to match. This is a momentary function. When
the button is depressed the pitch speed will automatically return to PITCH SLIDER'S (13) selected
pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +16% pitch. Be sure to remember that this
function is a momentary pitch adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER'S
(13) to match the BPM's with another playing music source.
10. PITCH BUTTON - This button is used to turn the pitch function on and off. The pitch functions of
the PITCH SLIDER (13), PITCH BEND BUTTONS (9) and JOG WHEEL (17) will not function without
this function being activated. The pitch slider has a maximum range of +/-16%. The "+" and "-"

11. +10 TRACK SKIP - This button allows you to skip ahead by 10 tracks. Example: if you are at
Track #1, pressing this button will skip you to Track #11, press the button again, it will skip to Track
#21. If there are not that many tracks, it will go back to Track #1.

13. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the PITCH (10)
function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved
or the PITCH (10) function has been turned off. The maximum pitch range of the slider is +/-16%.
This adjustment can be made with or without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain even
if a disc has been removed, and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit. That is to say, if
you set a +8% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc will also have a +8%
pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (8). Use this slider to match the
BPM's of this unit to that of another music source. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to
the other in this way, the beats can be matched.
14. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON - Each press of the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON causes the operation to
change from play to pause or from pause to play.
