Alpha Mode (Alpha Track Monitor) - Denon DN-D9000 Operating Instructions Manual

ALPHA MODE (Alpha-Track Monitor)
8
This function lets you play the Alpha-Track from MONITOR OUT while playing the main track. Using this function,
you can prepare the next song on same CD before the end of your first track. While in Alpha-Mode, Alpha-Track's
output can be monitored through your mixers headphone.
Therefore, you can switch between the Alpha-Track and main track at any time, so two tracks on the same disc
can be played continuously with no break in the sound.

w When your main track is Cued in Alpha-
Mode, CUE button illumination flashes
rapidly. At this time you can switch
between Alpha-Cue point and main Cue
point, then CUE button stops flashing and
waits for your next command.
e When main track is playing and then Alpha-
Mode + Alpha-Track is selected, the main
PLAY/PAUSE button illumination flashes
rapidly.
At this time you can switch
3
-2 (slam-mix) to force the
"MAIN OUT" to stop and
the Alpha-Track to start by
PLAY/PAUSE
simply pushing the main
PLAY/PAUSE button.
The sound from Alpha-Cue point is routed
to MAIN OUT, then PLAY/PAUSE button
stops flashing.
After Alpha-Track changed to main track,
Alpha-Mode ends automatically
ALPHA-MODE button illumination turns off.
You can repeat the cycle again.
Pitch after switching
• Pitch of Alpha-Track can be changed
separately from the main track. This causes
the playback pitch to be different from the
Pitch Slider setting after switching to Alpha-
Track because the Pitch Slider was set
4
originally for your main track.
• In this case, PITCH LED flashes to warn that
the Pitch Slider setting is different. Only until
the position of the Pitch Slider matches its
correct pitch of your Alpha-Track will the
B EXIT/RELOOP
PITCH LED stop flashing and start changing
