BEFORE OPERATIONS FEATURES This component is a digital media player designed to play both compact discs and solid-state memory cards, and equipped with a "card mix" (dual mode) function, thus providing the features and operational convenience demanded by professional DJs in clubs and disco environments. JOG DIAL The large 100 mm diameter Jog dial enables better handling than an analog turntable. ¶ SCRATCH PLAY When the jog dial is rotated in the SCRATCH mode, playback will occur in response to the direction and speed of jog-dial rotation. ¶ PITCH BEND This function changes the playback tempo depending on direction of Jog dial rotation and speed of movement. ¶ FRAME SEARCH Moves the disc from pause position in frame increments (1/75 sec) when the Jog dial is rotated in pause mode. ¶ SUPER FAST SEARCH You can search the disc faster than normal search or track search by holding down a SEARCH button or TRACK SEARCH button as you turn the Jog dial. TEMPO CONTROL 100 mm high-precision slider coupled with a 0.05% increment digital display (within a ±6% range) allows exact control of speed to make tempo adjustments easy and accurate. ¶ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE The maximum variable range can be set to three variable ranges: ±6%, ±10% and ±16% to facilitate adjustment. ¶ MASTER TEMPO Changes playback tempo without changing pitch. CUE ¶ BACK CUE After storing the Cue point in memory, press the CUE button while playing to go back to the Cue point. ¶ AUTO CUE Auto cue automatically locates the song's start point even if it differs from the track's frame, allowing the player to start instantly at a press of the PLAY/PAUSE (3/8) button. ¶ CUE POINT SAMPLER The sound from the memorized cue point can be reproduced by one touch, which can be used as the start point check and the sampler. REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP This function simplifies setting and releasing loops. This function lets you set a loop while you are playing a track. A loop can also be set at the end of the track so that the track does not stop. In addition, an ADJUST mode has been added to enable one-touch adjustment to the Loop-out point and facilitate loop operation. RELOOP Allows you to replay a loop any number of times. Press the RELOOP button after releasing loop play to return to the loop start point. Clever use of on and off in combination with the rhythm make it possible to create new sound effects. ONE TRACK LOOP Automatically sets a loop from the beginning to the end of a track. Prepare the loop material first, and enjoy loop play by one touch. CARD MIX While playing a CD, you can mix sounds from a memory card (dual mode P. 18). ¶ BPM SYNCHRO mixing Automatically adjusts the playback speed of the memory card track to the tempo (BPM) of the currently playing CD. ¶ CARD TEMPO Allows manual adjustment of the playback tempo of the memory card. * During BPM synchro playback, this dial operates as the PITCH BEND function. ¶ PITCH BEND By rotating CARD TEMPO dial, you can perform fine tuning of the playback speed of the memory card during BPM SYNCHRO (the speed changes in accordance with the direction the dial is turned). This feature thus allows the playback beat of the memory card to be matched to that of the CD. ISOLATOR This function allows the user to isolate and independently cut any of the three frequency bands (low, mid-range, high), thus allowing greater control over balance during dual-mode playback. PLAYING ADDRESS This bar graph provides a visual representation of track playback progress that enables you to see current playback position just like you can on an analog record by checking needle position. The length of the bar shows current position and a flashing bar provides advance notice of track end. SLOT IN Discs are loaded directly without opening doors or trays, making track selection that much faster. FADER START QUICK START and BACK CUE can be performed using the fader function on DJ mixers DJM-300, DJM-500, DJM-600 and DJM-3000 (all mixers are sold separately). MULTI READ CD-R, CD-RW discs can be replayed. (However, due to certain special characteristics of some discs, recorders as well as dirty or damaged discs, some discs may not replay properly.) CD TEXT Titles and artist names can be displayed during playback of discs supporting CDTEXT. CD-ROM Supports playback of single-layer recorded MP3 audio data. 6 En
