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 description is for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
