power source. Always be sure to disconnect the  
power plug before changing the voltage.  
26. POWER CORD - This is the main power  
connection. The power cord is polarized and is  
designed to fit in the socket one way. Do not  
attempt to force the cord in to a socket if it does  
not fit. If the cord does not fit one way, try flipping  
it over. Also, be sure the local power matches the  
unit’s required power.  
22. (+) PITCH BEND - The (+) pitch bend function  
creates a momentary “BUMP” in the CD’s pitch  
speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the PITCH  
(23)
function is activated. This functions allows  
the beats between two CD’s or any other music  
source to match. This is a momentary function.  
When the button is depressed the pitch speed  
will automatically return to PITCH SLIDER'S (24)  
selected pitch. Holding down this button will give  
a maximum of +12% pitch. Be sure to remember  
that this function is a momentary pitch adjust-  
ment, for a more precise adjustment use the  
PITCH SLIDER'S (24) to match the BPM’s with  
another playing music source.  
27. DIGI

L OUT -
This jack sends a digital  
stereo out signal. Use this connection to create  
near perfect copies of your disc to a Mini disc,  
CD-R, or any other recording device with a digital  
input.  
28. AUDIO OUT R & L -
These jacks are used to  
send a left and right output signal. Use these jacks  
to send an audio signal to a mixer or receiver. The  
red colored jack represents the right channel out-  
put and white jack represents the left channels

turned off. This adjustment can be made with or  
without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment  
will remain even if a disc has been remove, and  
will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit.  
That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc,  
remove that disc and insert another, that disc too  
will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being  
applied will be displayed in the LCD (4)

BASIC OPERATION  
12. PITCH BEND  
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed using the (-) & (+) PITCH BUT-  
TONS (21 & 22) The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The pitch bend function will work  
in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (24) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (24) is set to a 2%  
pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of -/+16%.  
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (21 & 22)  
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (22) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (21) will pro-  
vide a slow down. 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 (22) is held down continuously, the disc speed will  
increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 12% speed gain. When you release the  
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (22) the disc speed will automatially return to it’s previous speed.
