found on the CDT-05, which can apply to different performance

scenarios. Here is a brief explanation of each mode, and an
INSTANT REV
example of how it may be applied:

unlit, and the switch is flipped to 'REV,' the platter will turn counterclock-

wise, and the music program will play backwards. When the switch is
flipped to 'FWD,' the platter will turn clockwise, and the music will
resume playing forwards from the time point at which the switch was
1
flipped back to 'FWD.' This is effectively the same exact implementation
of the Reverse feature on a vinyl turntable.

wards, but you will not hear the sound of the motor slowing down as the
platter in order to turn in the opposite direction. When the switch is
flipped to 'FWD,' the platter will turn clockwise, and the music will
resume playing, without slowdown effect, forwards from the time that
would read on the display had you never engaged the Reverse feature to
begin with. This allows you to reverse at any time, even while beatmixing
with another device, as the music will stay completely in time and the
ON / OFF
musical structure will never be altered. This is very useful for DJs that play
electronic music and rely on beatmatching for a large part of their per-
formance.
