unit is paused a new cue point is set. Pressing this button while the unit is in play restarts the unit from the last cue point, creating a
“stutter” effect.
Pause: Stops the music while in play. Pressing play following this sets a new cue point. Holding down the button while scratching or
stuttering the music will stop the music at the current position, allowing you to capture a loop in or cue point.
Cue: Returns and pauses the music at the last set cue point. The cue point is the last place in which the unit was
paused and then play was pressed. Pressing a second time allows for temporary play of this point.
You can easily edit the cue point by turning the wheel. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping
the wheel and pressing play a new point is set. The sound during wheel rotation can be adjusted from a smooth
“scratch” sound to the tradition “stutter” sound. To alternate modes hold followed by . The display will indicate FREE WHEEL

control the music can be stopped or play at 2 times original speed. To match the speeds of both sides you can either monitor the music of
both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear or use the automatic BPM readout and adjust the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the CD
you wish to match is slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the slider to the (+) side and match the BPM. When faster,
move the pitch slider to the (-) side. By making this adjustment the speeds will be matched though the beats may not yet be aligned.

the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the
or rotate the jog wheel counter
clockwise (to the left). When PLAYER 2 is behind press the or rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the
right). The pitch changes temporarily while the or button is being pressed or the jog wheel is
rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel or the longer you hold the buttons the more you change. Releasing
the button or wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

entire CD. This setting will be remembered at power down.
Single: toggles the unit to play back just one track at a time (single) or play continuously through all tracks and then start over repeating
the CD infinitely (continuous). This setting will be remembered at power down.
Track Selection: These buttons are used to select the track to be played. +10 quickly allows the user to move through
tracks on the CD.
Search: Changes the mode of the jog wheel to a search mode. This button will remain active while the
wheel is being moved and for 8 seconds after. Moving the wheel clockwise rapidly moves forward through
the music. Counterclockwise moves backwards through the music. There are 2 search speeds depending
upon wheel rotation speed.
