TROL SLIDE (21). The pitch of the CD will change according to the posi-
tion of the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE (21).
PITCH BEND BUTTONS: Pushing the PITCH BEND BUTTONS
(22) will automatically raise the pitch up to +16% or lower the pitch down
to -16% from the existing pitch setting. Releasing the buttons will return
the pitch to the original pitch setting. You can use this function to match the

or down will lower or raise the pitch percentage.
OPERATIONS:
1. Press the OPEN/CLOSE (8) button, place a CD in the DISC TRAY (7)
and press the OPEN/CLOSE (8) button again. The tray will close into the
unit.
2. Push the TRACK SKIP(14) buttons to select the track you want to play.
3. Press the PLAY/PAUSE (10) buttons and the unit will instantly play.
CUES:
1. To program a cue point (the spot on a CD at which you want play to
start) select a track and push PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the
PLAY mode. (PLAY/PAUSE LED glows green).
2. When the CD reaches the approximate musical spot you wish to make
your cue, push PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode
(PLAY/PAUSE LED blinks and the unit will enter stutter mode). Move the
SEARCH DIAL (9) forward or in reverse until you reach the precise frame
is located, at which point you will want the CD to begin play. Push CUE
(11). The cue point is now programmed, the blue LED will remain on.
Press and hold CUE (11) to preview the cue point. Release CUE (11) to
return to the cue point. Press CUE (11) to return to this pre-programmed
cue point and play at any time.
Note: Once you have skipped to another track, you may not go back to your programmed
cue point. You must begin your cue selection over again once you have skipped to another
track. The cue will be preset to the beginning of the selected track. Press the cue button and
you will begin at the beginning of your selected track. Start your Cue programming
sequence over again.
3. To fine tune your pre-programmed cue point, push the CUE (11) button
and the CD will return to the cue point you programmed in step #2. Push
PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode at that point. Use
the SEARCH DIAL (9) to move forward or backward to find the proper Cue
point. Repeat step #2. If you decide this cue or starting point is okay, leave
the unit alone until you are ready to play.
4. If, however, the selected spot is not exactly where you want it, push the
CUE (11) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to the pre-
programmed cue point. Repeat step #1 - #3.
NOTE: During fine tuning there will be a stutter effect (to help you find the beat). The stut-
tering effect will end when you press the PLAY/PAUSE (10) to save the cue point.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

· If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label
side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.
· If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
· If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that
the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will
skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try
playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
