FEATURES

1. PLAY/STUTTER - Starts the music from the initial cue point.
2. PAUSE - Pauses the music.
3. CUE - Returns and pauses the music at the last set cue point. The cue point is where the music will begin when play is pressed. The cue point is the beginning of a track or can be set when play is started after the music is paused. For instance if the music is paused then Play is pressed, a new cue point is set. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel during pause. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and pressing play a new point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same position any number of times.
   Note: Pressing cue 2 times plays music temporarily from this point until the button is released.

   Search Function: As explained under "SEARCH BUTTON", when search is pressed and you rotate the wheel, the music will rapidly scan the music to find a cue point.

When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left).
