5.3.1 Graphic indication of the playing time

In addition to the numerical time indication (P),
the bargraph (H) will indicate the playing time
graphically by its length, in relation to the dura-
tion of the title (relative time presentation) . The
last 30 seconds of a title will be indicated by
the bargraph flashing in its full length, the last
15 sec onds by even faster flashing .

5.3.2 Number of beats per minutes

After selecting a title, the beat counter auto-
matically determines the number of beats per
minute . After a short time, the number appears
on the right at the bottom of the display (Q) .
If the beat counter cannot determine a correct
value (e . g . for quiet music titles), the value can
also be determined manually:
1) Shortly press the button BPM / TAP (23) sev-
eral times to the beat of the music (4 times
as a minimum) . The number of beats appears
and the indication "BPM" flashes to show
the manual counting mode .
2) To switch back to the automatic counting
mode, keep the button BPM / TAP pressed
until the indication "BPM" stops flashing .

5.3.3 Sleep mode

If both player units are set to pause for more
than 15 minutes, the unit is switched to the
sleep mode . The laser systems are then switched
off and are thus preserved . The displays show
SLEEP and all illuminated buttons will extinguish .
By actuating any button, the unit is switched
back to the previous operating mode .

single title replay
To switch over between single title replay
[indication "Single" (C)] and continuous re-

CONT / LIST (8) .
A With single title replay, the unit is switched
to pause at the end of a title .
This mode is especially provided for DJ ap-
plications . After selecting a title, the player
unit will be set to pause precisely on the spot
where the music starts (mostly not at the
time index 0 : 00 : 00 but some frames later,
e . g . 0 : 00 : 15) . This spot will be automatically
stored as a starting point (Auto Cue point)
and shown on the display by CUE (L) . After
starting the title, it is possible to return to
this starting point with the button CUE (18) .
After replaying a title, the unit will be set to
pause precisely on the spot where the music
of the next title starts . This spot will then be
stored as a new starting point .
B With continuous replay, all titles are played
continuously one after the other, i . e . after the
last title, the first title restarts . However, if the
titles are stored in different folders, only the titles
of the folder selected are repeated .

other player unit at the end of a title

procedure will be continuously repeated until
the relay mode is deactivated . (To switch off
this mode, actuate the button RELAY once
again .)

the replay can additionally be switched over
from one player unit to the other with the
