Key control function
The key of the music can be changed during stop, play-
back or playback standby modes. However, please note
that this feature does not work with MP3 discs.
1. Press the MENU key to select the KEY option in
the PLAY sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on
page 16) to enter the function.
Or, press the KEY key on the remote control to
set the function on.
The KEY indicator will light up.
2. Use the KEY LEVEL option in the PLAY sub-
menu to adjust the playback key level.
The playback key can be raised or lowered 1/2
octave in half-tone increments. Selection values:
0 (no change),
â1 to в6 , г1 to ã6 .
3. Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to select the desired
key level and push to enter.
NOTE
In this condition, when a CD is played back, the key
of the music is changed while the speed of the mu-
sic remains the same.
Even when the power is turned off, the key change
setting is retained.
When the Key control function is on, even if the
Pitch control function is used to change the play-
back speed, the key of playback will remain fixed at
the preset key {even if the key level is 0 (zero)}, the
Key control function can be turned on.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it
is vibrating. This is a result of the key control al-
gorithm working on the CD playback sound and is
normal.
Pitch control function
When playing back an audio CD, the pitch (or speed)
of the playback can be varied. Pitch can be varied +/-
16%.

function on.
The current pitch value appears on the display
for seconds and the
PITCH indicator will light up.
2. Turn the PITCH control or use the PITCH (+/-)
key on the remote control to adjust the pitch
value from 0.1% to 1.0% in 0.1% increments
(default: 0.1%).
3. During playback, the pitch control playback can
be disabled temporarily. Press the PITCH key on
the remote control or push the PITCH control to
turn the function off.
Pitch>OFF appears on the display and the pitch
control playback will be off temporarily, until
the function is re-set again.
NOTE
When turning the pitch control on and off during
playback, sound output is cut for a short instant.
Pitch control cannot be used with MP discs.
A to B repeat playback
If a specific portion between two points on the disc is
specified, that portion can be played back repeatedly.

mote control at the beginning of the desired por-

discs.
When the STOP key is pressed, the specified A-B
