JOG WHEEL - Four Modes:
1) During play, in Play mode: While a song is playing, the wheel is used for pitch bending. This
allows you to temporarily change the speed of the music to align the beats with the other deck. To
briefly speed up a song, turn the wheel clockwise. To briefly slow down a song, turn the wheel
counter-clockwise. The faster you rotate the wheel the more the pitch will change. When you stop
spinning the wheel, the pitch will return to normal.
2) When paused, in Play mode: When the unit is paused, the wheel is used for finding a new cue
point. See the CUE section below for more information on setting cue points.
3) During search, in Play Mode: The wheel is used for fast forward or fast backwards while the
search button is activated.
4) During select mode: The wheel is used for menu navigation.
PLAY/PAUSE - Starts the music from the last set cue point or pauses the music if already playing.
By pressing “PLAY” after “PAUSE” a new cue point will be set. Note: Pressing “PLAY” while browsing in
select mode puts the HDCD1 into play mode and plays the selected track from the beginning.
CUE – The cue point is where the music will begin when PLAY is pressed. Pressing CUE while a track is
playing will cause the track to return to it’s cue point and pause. The default cue point is the beginning of
the track, but it can be changed when play is started at a different point. For instance, if the music is
paused, and PLAY is then pressed, a new cue point is set. You can easily edit the cue point by turning the
wheel while the unit is paused. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and
pressing play a new cue point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the
song to be played from the same position any number of times.
Note: Holding the cue button down will play the song from this point until the button is released.
Note: Pressing the CUE button while browsing in select mode will switch the HDCD1 into play mode and
cue the selected track to the beginning.
PITCH SLIDER – The pitch slider is used to adjust the tempo of the currently loaded song to match the
tempo of another song. Move the slider in the (+) direction to speed up or in the (-) direction to slow
down. By making this adjustment the speed of two songs can be matched, though the beat of the songs
may not yet be in sync. Use the jog wheel to make minor pitch corrections to help get the beats in sync.
LOOP IN - Press to set the “loop in” point. This marks the beginning point of a loop. The default “loop
in” point is set to the beginning of the track.
LOOP OUT – Press to set the “loop out” point. This marks the end point of a loop, and when pressed
during play, will cause the music to return to the “loop in” point and play in a loop until the “loop out”
button is pressed again.
RELOOP – Pressing this button will cause the music to return to the “loop in” point and begin playing the
loop again.
SEARCH - Two modes:
1) HD browsing: When browsing the hard drive, press the SEARCH button to activate the search
function. You can search for a track by artist, song title, album title or playlist.
2) During play: When pressed during play mode, the SEARCH button toggles the jog wheel
between pitch bend mode and fast search mode. When in search mode, the jog wheel can be used
to rapidly scan forwards or backwards in a track. Note: The search function automatically shuts off
after 8 seconds of non-use or you may turn it off manually by pressing SEARCH again. This is to
prevent accidental searching after the proper play point has been found.
