CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

MAIN UNIT

1. POWER ON/OFF switch: switches the CD-player on and off.
2. DISC TRAY: Use the OPEN/CLOSE buttons to open disc tray and put the CD in place.
3. OPEN/CLOSE button: press this button to open and close the disc tray. These buttons are disabled during playback. If the tray is not closed after 60sec. It will close automatically to prevent damage.

1. CONTROL connector: connect this connector to the control unit, using the supplied mini-DIN8 cable.

2. AUDIO outputs: Output for the audio signals from the CD-player. Use the supplied cinch/cinch cable to connect this output to a CD/line input of your mixing unit.

3. DIGITAL OUT socket: Use this connector to connect the digital signal (S/PDIF format) to the input of a digital amplifier or digital recorder (ex. Mini disc)
4. MAINS input: connect the CD player to the 220V AC mains, using the supplied power-cord.

CONTROL UNIT

1. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING): This wheel has 4 forward and 4 backward speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster you will search through the music.

2. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING): This jog wheel serves 2 functions depending on the mode you are working in.

3. The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin the wheel and press PLAY when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the "CUE POINT".

4. The jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-16% if the song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of rotation.

5. TRACK SEARCH Buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be played. Forward skip & back skip. Press the +10 button to skip 10 tracks at once.

6. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during play provides an immediate return to the position at which play was started. Playback is started immediately from the programmed cue point for as long as the CUE button is pressed. The CD player jumps back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released. Also with the unit in pause mode (Play/Pause LED blinks) the search and/or jog wheel is used to set a different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" button then "CUE", you can confirm this new cue point. The CUE LED will light up since the cue button is pressed until the CD has returned to the position at which play was started.
7. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the CD player changes from play to pause or from pause to play.
8. PITCH BEND buttons (+/-16%): The speed rises while the “+ button” is pressed and return to the original pitch when the button is released. The pitch drops when

the “- button” is pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is released. These buttons can be used to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks.

1. PITCH button: This button is used to turn the Pitch function on and off. If you want to change the speed adjustment range (+/- 8%, +/- 12%, +/- 16%), press and hold PITCH button then press the PITCH BEND+ to select.

2. PITCH slider: Press the PITCH button, the PITCH LED is on. The speed can be changed up to +/-16% by moving the sliding fader. The speed will not change if the PITCH LED is off.

3. OPEN/CLOSE button: press this button to open and close the disc tray in the front of the main unit. This button is disabled during playback. If the tray is not closed after 60sec. It will close automatically to prevent mechanical damage.

4. TIME Button: The TIME button switches between elapsed playing time, remaining time in a selection and total remaining time of the disc. (standard = remaining/track)

5. SGL/CTN Button: with this button you can choose between "single track mode" and "continuous play".

6. Continuous play: the complete CD will be played without interruption. (mostly used in pubs)

7. Single track: player stops at the end of each track and waits at the beginning of the next track. The player will wait at the first music note of each track.

8. PROGRAM Button: It is possible to program up to 20 tracks on each deck. After programming the tracks will be played in the order you programmed. You can also use the relay function to make a preprogrammed sequence on the 2 decks. Follow the steps below for programming:

9. Press the PROGRAM button once, the led next to it turns on and the display shows "-- P-01 00".

10. Choose the first track in your sequence and press the PROGRAM button. The first track is programmed, the display shows "-- P-02 01"
11. Choose the second track in your sequence and press the PROGRAM button. The second track is programmed, the display shows "-- P-03 02"
12. Continue these steps until you are finished.
13. Now simply press the "play/pause button" to start the sequence. The first track in your sequence starts playing while the display shows"* P-01"

The programmed sequence plays in an endless loop until you stop the program mode by pressing the PROGRAM button for about 2 seconds". The led next to the PROGRAM button turns off and the program memory is cleared.

1. LCD DISPLAY: Shows all important information needed during playback. Refer to the next chapter for more information.

2. LOOP Button: Used to make the music play in a loop, follow the steps below to create a loop:

3. Make sure that the track is playing.

4. Press the LOOP button to set the beginning of the loop: led starts flashing.
5. Press the LOOP button again to set the end of the loop: led is on and the music starts playing in loop mode.
6. Press the LOOP button again to stop the loop mode: the led turns off. Note: the loop is not seamless so when the loop starts again, you will hear a small pause. This is normal while this CD-player doesn't use a buffer memory.

1. FADERSTART sockets: If you are using a mixer with fader start function, use the supplied mono mini jack/jack cable to connect the player with the fader start of the mixer. Please note that this socket must never be connected with any voltage. Attention: This remote control is only compatible with (Synq® or Pioneer® compatible) mixers.
2. CONTROL connector: Connect the main unit here, using the supplied mini-DIN8 cable.

LCD DISPLAY

1. TRACK: Shows current track number.
2. TIME BAR: shows either time remaining or elapsed depending on the setting of the TIME button. Starts flashing at the end of each track to alert the user to take action.
3. MINUTE: Shows "minutes" time information of current track.
4. SECOND: Shows "seconds" time information of current track.
5. FRAME: Shows "frame" time information of current track. (1 frame = 1/75^th sec.)
6. SINGLE/CONTINUE: "single" appears when the unit is set to play just one track at a time. Otherwise the CD will play continuously through all tracks. This function is controlled by the SGL/CTN button.
7. ELAPSED, TOTAL REMAIN: indicates that the time shown on the display is the track elapsed, remaining or total remaining time.
8. PITCH DISPLAY: Shows the percentage change in pitch (speed) of the song.

HOW TO USE ...

Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter "controls and functions". In this chapter we talk about the functions that need a little more explanation.

- SLEEP MODE:

The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 15 minutes (when in pause or cue mode). This extends the life of your motor drive and laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word "SLEEP". To wake up the player, just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is ready to receive instructions.

- RELAY FUNCTION:

Relay play allows consecutive playback for two decks, perfect for pubs etc.

• Put a disc in both players.
• Open the 2 channel faders of the corresponding CD inputs on your mixer.
• Press one of the PROGRAM buttons and hold it down, now press the SGL button on its left to enable the Relay function. Both the players will be set to single mode and the track numbers on both displays start flashing.
• Begin playback on one of the two players.
• Alternately a track will be played from both players until the relay function is disengaged. You can always put a new CD in the player that is waiting in pause. In this way you can create an endless program, perfect for use in pubs etc.
• To stop the relay function, press the PROGRAM and SGL buttons again until the track information stops flashing.

STORING A CUE POINT:

Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search the exact location for the cue point. Once this location is found, press the PLAY/PAUSE button to set the new cue point. (the cue led flashes 2 times to indicate that the new cue point is set and the track starts playing from this new cue point)

Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button to recall it.

PITCH BENDING:

This function is used to put the beats of two tracks in perfect sync. This can be done in two ways:

• PITCH BEND buttons: The speed increases or decreases respectively as long as the PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND- button is pressed.
• JOG WHEEL: During play mode the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch of the music by turning the JOG WHEEL clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slowdown. The rotation speed the JOG WHEEL determines the percent of pitch bend.
