DESCRIPTION CDN-12 FEATURES
1 . OPEN/CLOSE (Disc Tray Open/Close) - Press to
load or eject the disc. Each press will open or close the disc tray
on the transport. NOTE: Tray will not open unless the disc has
been paused.
11. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING) - This jog wheel serves 2
functions depending on the mode you are working in.
a . The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when
the CD is not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To
set a new frame cue point, spin the wheel then press play when
you have determined the proper position. Press CUE to return to
the “CUE POINT”.
b . The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music
if the song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to
speed up or counterclockwise to slow down.
2. LCD DISPLAY - Indicates all the functions, as they are
occurring, with the CD. These functions are explained in the next
section.
3 . TRACK (Track Buttons) - These buttons are used to
select the track to be played.
12. LOOP BUTTON - Used for repeating sections in the
music. This is not a seamless function.
4. Track 10 Button - This button is for quickly advancing to
higher tracks on a CD.
13. CUE - Pressing the CUE button during play provides a return
to the position at which play was started. If PAUSE is used
before CUE, that will become the cue point. Alternately pressing
the PLAY button and the CUE button allows the CD to be played
from the same position any number of times. The CUE LED will
light up from the time the CUE button is pressed until the CD has
reset to the position at which play was started. Steady lighting of
this LED indicates the ready condition.
5 . PITCH (Pitch Button) - This button activates the Pitch
Slider (7).
6 . PITCH BEND (Pitch Bend Button) - When each of the
two CD players is playing a CD, the pitch bend function allows the
positioning of the bass beats to be matched after the pitch of
each disc is matched. Either player can “catch up” or “fall back”
to match the other player. The pitch will automatically rise while
the + button is pressed (allowing “catch up”) and return to the
original pitch when the button is released. The pitch will
automatically drop while the - button is pressed (allowing “fall
back”) and return to the original pitch when the button is
released. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the
other in this way the beats can be matched.
14.START/PAUSE (Play/Pause Button) - Each press of
the Play/Pause Button causes the operation to change from play
to pause or from pause to play.
15.CONT/SING - Will cause just a single track to play or all
tracks in order by pressing once or twice.
16.PROGRAM - Depress this button and the unit will stop and
program will be indicated on the display. Select each track to be
programmed and press the PROGRAM button between
selections. You can program up to 30 tracks. Press PLAY to
start the program. To exit and erase program hold the program
button down for more than 2 seconds while the unit is stopped,
open the disc tray, or turn off the power.
7 . PITCH SLIDER - The pitch can be changed up to
+/-12% by pressing the PITCH button so the PITCH LED is lit,
then moving the sliding fader. The pitch will not be changed if the
PITCH LED is off.
8. POWER BUTTON - Used to turn on the unit.
9. DISC TRAY - Will accept either 8cm or 12cm discs.
17.TIME (Time Button) - The TIME button switches the time
display between elapsed playing time and remaining time on the
track.
10. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING) - This wheel has 3
forward and 3 reverse speed positions for searching through
songs. The more you turn the wheel in either direction the faster
you search through the music.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAY/PAUSE AND CUE OPERATIONS
PLAY and CUE
Pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button starts the disc. Pressing the “CUE” button will reset the disc to the last place where
the disc was started. This is called the cue point. By alternately pressing the “PLAY/PAUSE” button and the “CUE”
button, the disc may be returned and played from the cue point any number of times. This function is called back cue.

point is set, a new cue point can be located. The
CD player will repeatedly play small parts of the CD as
you move it to the desired position. By pressing
“PLAY/PAUSE” then “CUE” you can confirm this
new cue point is desirable.

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND
BPM’s (Beats Per Minute) are the same, however, the drum beats are not matched

The pitch changes automatically while the
