10. CHANNEL MID – Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the audio of the Program mix.
11. CHANNEL BASS – Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the audio of the Program mix.
12. STEREO LEVEL INDICATOR – Monitors the audio level of the Program mix.
13. CUE MODE SELECTOR – Selects the audio that is sent to the headphones. Switch it to "1+2" to hear Channels 1 and 2 in the Cue channel.
14. CUE GAIN – Adjusts the audio level of the Cue channel.
15. HEADPHONES – Connect your 1/4" or 1/8" headphones to this output for cueing and mix monitoring.

CD PLAYER FEATURES

1. OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) – Press to load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray on the transport.

NOTE: Tray will not open unless the disc has been paused. Tray will automatically close after 30 seconds.

1. TIME (Time Button) - Switches the time display between elapsed playing time and remaining time on the track and remaining time on the entire CD.

2. CONT/SING – Will cause just a single track to play or all tracks in order by pressing once or twice.

3. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are occurring, with the CD. These functions are explained in the next section.

4. TRACK (Track Buttons) – Used to select the track to be played.

5. Track 10 Button – This button is for quickly advancing to higher tracks on a CD.

6. PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will stop and the program indicator will light. Select each track to be programmed and press the PROGRAM button between selections. You can program up to 20 tracks. Press PLAY to start the program. To exit and erase program, either hold the program button down for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped, open the disc tray, or turn off the power.

7. PITCH (Pitch Button) – Activates the Pitch Slider.

8. PITCH SLIDER – The pitch can be changed up to +/-12% by pressing the PITCH button so the PITCH LED is lit, then moving the sliding fader. The pitch will not be changed if the PITCH LED is off.

9. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - 3 forward and 3 reverse speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster you search through the music.

10. PITCH BEND/JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) – The jog wheel serves 2 functions depending on the current mode.

a) The jog wheel will control a slow frame search when the CD is not playing. To set a new frame cue point, spin the wheel then press play when you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to the "CUE POINT".

b) When both CD players are playing a CD, the pitch bend function allows the positioning of the bass beats to be matched after the pitch of each disc is matched. Either player can "catch up" or "fall back" to match the other player. The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music if the song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the pitch of the other disc, the beats can be matched.

1. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during play provides a return to the position at which play was started. If PAUSE is used before CUE, that will become the cue point. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played from the same position any number of times. The CUE LED will light up from the time the CUE button is pressed until the CD has been reset to the position at which play was started. Steady lighting of this LED indicates the ready condition.

2. START/PAUSE (Play/Pause Button) - Each press of the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to change from play to pause or from pause to play.

3. BPM/PITCH BUTTON - Switches the mode of the display between showing the BPM and the percentage change in pitch.

4. TAP BUTTON - Tap this button with the beat of the music to determine the current Beats Per Minute (BPM).

PLAY, PAUSE & CUE OPERATIONS

PLAY & CUE

Pressing the "PLAY/PAUSE" button starts the disc. Pressing the "CUE" button will reset the disc to the last place where the disc was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the "PLAY/PAUSE" button and the "CUE" button, the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back cue.

PLAY, PAUSE & CUE

When play has been paused and then started again, the return position for the back cue will be updated to this new position.

EDITING CUE POINT

When the inner dial is turned while a cue point is set, a new cue point can be located. The CD player will repeatedly play small parts of the CD as you move it to the desired position. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" then "CUE" you can confirm that the new cue point is desirable.

MATCHING BPMs

Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the slider to the (+) side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) side. The following illustration shows the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.

1. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1. PLAYER 1 is playing.
2. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2. Both CD players are playing discs.
3. Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones. If the beat of channel 2 (in the headphones) is faster than channel 1, slow down the beat of channel 2 using the pitch control.
4. If the beat of channel 2 (in the headphones) slower than the beat of channel 1, speed up the beat using the pitch control.

USING THE BPM DISPLAY FEATURE

Press the BPM button to select the BPM feature on the display on the side of the CD player that you wish to set. Tap the Counter button to the beat of the music.

Two abstract diagrams showing downward and upward arrows with internal vertical bars, no text or symbols present.

You will see the BPM number appear in the display. The more times you tap the more accurate your number will be. When you adjust the pitch slider the display number will change by an equal percentage.

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND

If you find the BPM's (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not matched you will need to temporarily change the pitch. The illustration below shows how to match the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be done on either PLAYER).

After matching the BPM's adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:

When PLAYER 2 is ahead, rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise. When PLAYER 2 is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise.

The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch (so the BPM's are once again the same).

EXAMPLE OF MIXING USING BOTH PLAYERS OF YOUR CD PLAYER

While playing a disc on PLAYER 1, load a disc into PLAYER 2 and select your next track, match its pitch to the track playing on PLAYER1 and when you are ready use the crossfader on your mixer to fade from PLAYER 1 to PLAYER 2.

Load a disc in PLAYER 1 and select the track and press PLAY.	PLAYER 1Load a disc and press the OP EN/CLOSE button.	PLAYER1Select the track to be played.	PLAYER 1Press the PLAY button
Load a disc in PLAYER 2 and select the track then play.	PLAYER 2Load a disc and press the OP EN/CLOSE button.	PLAYER2Select the track to be played.	PLAYER 2Press the PLAY button
Set and edit a start cue point on PLAYER 2	PLAYER 2Press the Pause button of PLAYER 2.	PLAYER2Rapidly search for a cue point using the outer wheel	PLAYER 2Slowly set the right cue point using the inner wheel
Check your new cue point	PLAYER 2Listen with the monitor and press the play button.	PLAYER 2Press the cue button then press of the set cue point.	PLAYER 2Reset the player to me Cue point by pressing Cue
Do a MIX!	PLAYER 2With a matching downbeat from Player 1 press the play button.	PLAYER2If you are beat mixing, turn on your Pitch a djus t and follow the directions for beat matching.	MIXERWhen you are happy with your mix move the cross s fa de r a ccordingly.
