Notes
• The playing sound drops out momentarily when you
change the fine control value.
• The fine control value reverts to “0.0%” (factory
setting) and the step value returns to “0” (factory
setting) when you turn off the deck or eject the MD.
• When a dot (.) appears to the right of the step value
in the pitch display, this indicates that you have
performed fine adjustment (see this page) and the
pitch value is between steps. The step and fine
control values are linked; changing one value also
changes the other.
