F E A T U R E S ● It is the single CD player for DJ which corresponded to the function and the performance for which CD player for DJ is required, and adhered to tone quality. ● By passing through the electronic parts selected carefully and an original circuit, a digital sound peculiar to CD is made to the tone quality which creates the warmth of analog. Thereby, the mixture condition of the sound when mixing with the sound of an analog turntable changes at the time of DJ play. ● Three kinds of effects(flanger, a delay and filter) are built in this unit, and it can be synchronized with BPM which automatic-detected or set manual up (it is to one line that it can be used simultaneously). ● It corresponds also to reproduction of an MP3 file in addition to the usual CD data. It is possible to reproduce the MP3 file recorded on CD-R/RW. (However, MP3 reproduction has restriction in functions, such as a CUE point and loop reproduction ● Each music is distinguished from the number of time of the whole CD, or the length of music, and the track memory function to make a setup memorize in a main part at the time of reproduction of a maximum of 100 tracks is carried. The work of teaching a CUE point LOOP point, a BPM value, etc. beforehand can also be done. ● The JOG wheel with a touch switch convenient for a search and scratch operation is adopted as a JOG wheel. Thereby, operation becomes possible with the operation feeling of an analog turntable. Moreover, it can be operated by connecting with TASCAM TT-M1 using VESTAX turntable PDX-2000 series instead of a JOG wheel.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com B E F O R E U S E Using CDs. A conventional CD consists of two (2) sides. Typically one side bears a label stating the name of the CD and artist whilst the front side, rainbow like in its color, contains the information that makes this technology work. There are approximately six (6) million data items stored on any one given CD front surface. Please make sure to load the CD into the playing mechanism correctly, so that the front side (rainbow) is unable to be seen once the lid is closed. Unlike conventional analog turntables, CD technology uses a fine laser beam instead of a stylus to read the contents of the disc. As a result of there being little physical contact, a CD will take infinitely longer to degrade. Repeated use of a CD, even playing over the same track again and again will likely have very little effect on the audible quality of the discs data. However, the front surface of a CD is brittle and may be scratched or damaged if you are careless in its handling. Thus, please take care to load you CDs correctly and ensure that you store them in a safe place. Furthermore, avoid leaving CDs in direct sunlight or in close proximity to a heating device or hot object, in the rain or in water, or on surfaces that have excessive moisture or surface dirt/grime. Also take care when cleaning any CD by using a recommended or special purpose cleaning cloth, cleaning spray or product and always wipe in the direction illustrated below. ●Wipe from the inside out. ●Do not wipe in a circular fashion. ●Never use record cleaner designed for conventional analog disks, this will degrade the CD disc surface. ■Always store disc properly in the case. Warning ・Please do not inhibit access to this unit's main switch by operating it in a confined area. ・Do not expose to water, moist environments or operate this device in an area likely to be effected by liquid spillage or dripping.
