returns to the starting point of the title (cue point) and is in cue mode (the LED of the button lights red).

3 After jumping to the cue point, playback can be started with the button
the button CUE pressed and momentarily play the title. As soon as you release the button the unit

6.8 Pitch adjustment

The playback speed can be adjusted variably up to ±24 % with the slide control PITCH.

The display indicates PITCH.
3 Then slide up the control PITCH to decrease the pitch and slide it down to increase the pitch. The

6.9 Matching the beat between two titles (Pitch Bend)

With the function pitch bend, the beat of a title on player 1 can be matched (synchronized) to the beat of a
title on player 2 or vice versa. Thus the rhythm will not be interrupted while crossfading from one title to
another. Unlike the adjustment with the slide control PITCH this function will temporarily increase or
decrease a title's speed during replay.
1 First use the slide control PITCH to adjust the same number of beats (BPM) for both music pieces.
2 Then synchronize the beats of the two music pieces by turning the rotary wheel (the function fast
forward/reverse must be deactivated). The change of speed depends on the turning speed of the wheel:
Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your title speed and rotating the wheel in a
counterclockwise direction will decrease your title speed. As soon as you stop turning the wheel the
speed will automatically return to its previously set speed.
3 Alternatively to the rotary wheel you can also use the buttons PITCH BEND for matching the beat. As
long as the button + or - is kept pressed, the title is played 16% faster or slower. As soon as you release
the buttons PITCH BEND the BPM will automatically return to normal.
