is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from the pitch button, the
BPM’s will automatically return to the Pitch Slider's pitch value. Holding down this
button will give a maximum of -100% pitch. Use this function to slow to another
playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is a momentary pitch
adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the Pitch Slider to match the BPM’s
with another playing music source. Note: 100% Pitch Adjustment works with regular
CDs only, not MP3 CDs.
(+) Pitch Bend Button – The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Bump” in
the BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to match the
beats between two playing decks or other music sources. Remember, this is a
momentary function. When you remove your finger from this button, the BPM’s will
automatically return to the Pitch Slider's selected pitch. Holding down this button will
give a maximum of +100% pitch. Note: 100% Pitch Adjustment works with regular
CDs only, not MP3 CDs.
(11) Jog Wheel (Touch Sensitive) – This wheel has three functions:
The wheel works as a pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel clockwise can
increase the pitch percentage up to 100%, and turning the wheel in the counter-
clockwise direction can decrease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend
will be determined on how long you turn the jog wheel continuously.
The jog wheel also controls the scratch effect, when the scratch effect is active.
The jog wheel can also serve as frame search.
(12) In, Out & Reloop Buttons
In Button – This function (“Cue on the fly“) allows you to set a Cue Point without music
interruption (“on the fly”). This button also sets the starting point of a seamless loop.

Seamless Loop on page 39.
Out Button – This button is used to set the ending point of a loop. A loop is started by
pressing the In Button, pressing the Out Button sets the loop ending point. The loop will
continue to play until the Out Button is pressed once again.
Reloop Button – If a seamless loop has been made, but the CD player is not actively in
seamless loop mode (a loop is not playing), pressing the Reloop Button will instantly
reactivate the seamless loop mode. To exit the loop, press the Out Button. Loop will
appear in the LCD Display (20) when the Reloop function is available.
(13) Play/Pause Button – Each press of the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to
change from play to pause or from pause to play. While in play mode the blue play LED will
