REmOTE CONTROL - fACE (fIgURE 3)

1. JOG WHEEL - The jog wheel serves two functions depending on the current operating mode:

A. The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when the unit is in pause or cue mode

allowing you to set a specific cue point or find a particular starting point.

B. The inner wheel also works as a momentary pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel

clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 16%, and turning the wheel in the coun-

terclockwise direction will decrease the pitch percentage up to -16%. The pitch bend will be

determined on how fast you turn the wheel.

2. LIqUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) - This high quality LCD Indicates all the functions (play, pause,

cue, etc..,), as they occur. This display is viewable at several comfortable angles as described on
page 6. The LCD icons will be described in the next section.
3. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the PITCH (13)

function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved
or the PITCH (9) function has been turned off. The maximum pitch range of the slider is +/-12%. This
adjustment can be made with or without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain even
if a disc has been removed, and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit. That is to say, if
you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc will also have a +2%
pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (2). Use this slider to match the
BPM’s of this unit to that of another music source. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to
