search function automatically shuts off after 8 seconds of non-use or you may toggle it off.
7. Cue: Returns and pauses the music at the last set cue point. The cue point is where the music will begin when play
is pressed. The cue point is set as the initial start point on a track or can be moved when play is started at a different
point. For instance if the music is paused then play is pressed a new cue point is set. You can easily edit the cue
point by turning the wheel during pause. As you rotate the wheel the music will sound. By stopping the wheel and
pressing play a new point is set. Alternately pressing the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be

Search Function: As explained under “SEARCH BUTTON”, when search is press and you rotate the wheel, the
music will rapidly scan the music to find a cue point.
Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats
of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music rotate the jog wheel
counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes
temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the
wheel results in a return to the original pitch.
