CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

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.
• 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".
• 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
