slider is moved or the pitch function has been
turned off. This adjustment can be made with
or without a disc in the drive. The pitch adjust-
ment will remain even if a disc has been removed
and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the
player. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on
one disc, remove that disc and insert another,
that disc too will have a +2% pitch. The amount
of pitch being applied will be displayed in the
LCD (26).
6. TIME MODE - The TIME button will switch
the time value described in the TIME METER
between ELAPSED PLAYING TIME, and TRACK
REMAINING TIME.
7. (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (+) pitch
bend function creates a momentary "BUMP" in
the CD's BPM's (Beats per minute) while it is
playing. This will allow you to match the beats

When you remove your finger from this button,
the BPM's will automatically return to PITCH
SLIDERS (5) selected pitch. Holding down this
button will give a maximum of +100% pitch.
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch
bend function creates a momentary "Slow Down"
in the CD's BPM's (Beats per minute) while it is
playing. This will allow you to match the beats
between two playing CD's or other playing music
source. Remember, this is a momentary function.
When you remove your finger from the pitch but-
ton, the BPM's will automatically return to PITCH
SLIDERS (5) pitch value. Holding down this but-
ton will give a maximum of -100% pitch. Use
this function to slow to another playing music

momentary pitch adjustment, for a more precise
adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER (5) to match
the BPM's with another playing music source.
