CONTROL UNIT

1. JOG WHEEL: This jog wheel serves 3 functions depending on the mode you are working in.
 The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is not playing but either
paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin the wheel then press PLAY or LOOP IN
when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the "CUE POINT".
 If the track is playing and the fast search function (2) is not active, the jog wheel temporarily bends
the pitch of the music up to +/-32% by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed it up or
counterclockwise to slow it down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of
rotation.
 If the fast search function (2) is active, you will be able to search at a higher speed through the
current track.
2. FAST SEARCH button: press this button to toggle the function of the JOG WHEEL(1) between fast
search mode ("FAS" shown in the track display) and normal mode. The fast search function is
automatically turned off when the JOG WHEEL is not used for more than 10seconds.
 PLAY MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used as pitch bend tool to synchronize the beats of the
playing track to another track. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG
WHEEL to search very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.
 PAUSE MODE: normally the JOG WHEEL is used to search very precisely (1frame precision) for the
exact cue point. When the fast search mode is turned on, you can use the JOG WHEEL to search
very quickly forward/backward inside the current track.
3. TRACK SEARCH Buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be played. Forward skip &
back skip. Press the +10 button to skip 10 tracks at once.
4. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during playback provides an immediate return to the position at
which play was started. Playback starts immediately from the programmed cue point for as long as the
CUE button is pressed. The CD player jumps back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is
released. Also with the unit in pause mode (Play/Pause button blinks) the jog wheel is used to set a
different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" or "LOOP IN" button followed by "CUE", you can
confirm this new cue point.
5. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the CD player changes from play
to pause or from pause to play. The button blinks as long as the player is set to pause.
6. LOOP IN button: Allows you to set the cue point without stopping the playback (CUE ON THE FLY).
This button also sets the beginning of a seamless loop.
7. OUT button: Used to set the endpoint when looping music. The player starts to loop seamlessly until
you press this button again to exit. When a loop is programmed but not active you can also restart the
loop. The point where you press the button will be memorized as the new end point of the loop. In loop
edit mode pressing the OUT button stops the loop editing and saves the new loop endpoint.

 RELOOP: When a loop was programmed and you have hit the OUT button, press the reloop button
