If no track is playing, you can turn the front panel knob until a desired track is displayed. -
Page 11: Volume Control
Volume Control When Jog Mode is enabled on a card, Triggers 1 and 2 are also redefined to control the volume on the DMP-100. Each activation of Trigger 1 simulates a push-and-turn counterclockwise, i.e. a decrement of volume. In a similar way, each activation of Trigger 2 simulates an increment of volume. -
