Playback

You can make fine adjustments (of less than a semitone) to the
pitch of the CD playback.

Sometimes when you are practicing your instrument along
with a CD, you may have difficulty because the CD playback
is pitched slightly different than your instrument. In such
cases, you can adjust the CD playback pitch to match your
instrument.

Even if you’re using an instrument that is not easily tuned,
such as an acoustic piano, you can adjust the pitch of the CD
so that it matches your instrument.
