1. JOG WHEEL - The jog wheel serves two functions depending on the current operating mode:
A. The jog wheel will act as a slow frame search control when the unit is in pause or cue mode
allowing you to set a specific cue point or find a particular starting point.
B. The wheel also works as a momentary pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel
clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 16%, and turning the wheel in the coun-
terclockwise direction will decrease the pitch percentage up to -16%. The pitch bend will be
determined on how fast you turn the wheel.

BASIC OPERATIONS
1. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISC TRAY/LOADING DISCS
5 in. / 12cm disc
This is an electronic operation and can only work when the power is on. Press
the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (18) to open or close the disc tray. Pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16), will also automatically close the tray if it is open
and immediately cue any CD that is in it. If the transport tray is left open for
more than 60 seconds it will close automatically to prevent accidental damage
to the transport. Again if a CD is left in the transport tray it will immediately cue
to the first song. The disc trays cannot be opened during playback to prevent
playback from being interrupted if the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (18) is pressed
accidentally. Stop playback, then press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (18).
Figure 8
3 in. / 8cm disc
2. LOADING DISCS
The MCD-510 can play both 3 inch (8 cm) and 5 inch (12 cm) compact discs
(CD’s). Odd shaped and oval CD’s are not compatible. When loading a CD into
the unit always hold the disc by its' edges and place it in the disc tray. Never
touch the signal surface (the glossy side). When using 5 inch/12 cm discs, place
the disc in the outer tray guides (figure 8), and when using 3 inch/8 cm discs,
place them securely in the inner guides (figure 9).
CAUTION:
• NEVER insert any foreign objects in the disc tray.
• NEVER attempt to insert more than one disc in the disc tray at a time.
Doing so may result in severe damage to the unit.
Figure 9
• NEVER force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction
and damage the transport system.
3. SELECTING TRACKS
Select a desired track by using either of the two TRACK BUTTONS (9). Tapping the TRACK BUTTONS (9) once
will select either a higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (9) to change tracks con-
tinuously at a higher speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (9) to select a new track during playback
(a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately begin playback as soon as the search
operation is completed.
4. STARTING PLAYBACK
Insert an audio CD as described above (loading discs). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) with an audio
CD inserted will immediately start playback. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically
be stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at which playback
started) when the CUE BUTTON (17) is pressed.
5. STOPPING PLAYBACK
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track. There are two ways
to stop playback:
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) during playback to pause at that point.
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (17) during playback to return the track to it’s last cue point.
6. PAUSING
Pausing temporarily stops playback. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) changes the operating mode
between play and pause.
7. SETTING A CUE POINT
”Cueing” is the action of preparing for playback. The unit is designed to automatically cue at the first audible
signal on the first track of a disc when a disc is inserted. If a track is selected before a disc is inserted, the unit
will automatically cue to the first audible signal for the selected track.
You may press the IN BUTTON (4) on the fly (while the disc is playing). This will set a CUE Point without music
interuption. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (17) will now return you to the same point that you pressed the CUE
BUTTON (17). Pressing the CUE BUTTON (17) will now return you to this exact point.

8. CHANGING THE TIME DISPLAY (39, 40, & 41)/TIME BAR (34):
The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal play-
back, pressing the TIME BUTTON (8), will change the time display information (39, 40, & 41) in the LCD (2). The
following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:
1) TOTAL REMAIN (37) - This details the time in the LCD (39, 40, & 41) as the current cds’ total remaining
time.
2) REMAIN (38) - This details the time in the LCD (39, 40, & 41) as the current tracks’ remaining running time.
3) ELAPSED - This details the time in the LCD (39, 40, & 41) as the current tracks’ elapsed running time.
The unit will indicate the ELAPSED time when neither the TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN indica-
tors are showing. Note: When playing a Mp3 disc the TOTAL REMAIN time of a disc cannot be
shown. Only the REMAIN time and ELAPSED time of the track.
TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD (2) visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (39,
40, & 41). This bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN (38) or TOTAL REMAIN (37). This
bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three
seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The
flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in.
9. PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:
This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change
as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 16). The maximum pitch bend percentage of the PITCH SLIDER is +/-16%.
The PITCH SLIDER (3) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move up (towards the
top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch
will increase.
Using the Pitch Slider Percentage Selector (7):
You may choose a pitch operating range at any time. To
change the operating range be sure the pitch function is
turned on, see figure 10. The pitch percentage can be

10. PITCH BEND:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate
this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (13) or with the JOG WHEEL (1). The maximum pitch bend
percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (3)
pitch setting.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (13):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (13) will pro-
vide a slow down. The maximum range of the PITCH BEND BUTTONS is 16%. The extent to which the speed
changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND
BUTTON (13) is held down continuously, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until
reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (13) the disc speed
will automatically return to it’s previous speed.
