BEFORE OPERATIONS

FEATURES

This component is a digital media player designed to play both compact discs and solid-state memory cards, and equipped with a “card mix” (dual mode) function, thus

providing the features and operational convenience demanded by professional DJs in clubs and disco environments.

JOG DIAL

The large 100 mm diameter Jog dial enables better handling than

an analog turntable.

¶ SCRATCH PLAY

When the jog dial is rotated in the SCRATCH mode, playback will occur in response

to the direction and speed of jog-dial rotation.

¶ PITCH BEND

This function changes the playback tempo depending on direction of Jog dial rota-

tion and speed of movement.

¶ FRAME SEARCH

Moves the disc from pause position in frame increments (1/75 sec) when the Jog

dial is rotated in pause mode.

¶ SUPER FAST SEARCH

You can search the disc faster than normal search or track search by holding down

a SEARCH button or TRACK SEARCH button as you turn the Jog dial.

TEMPO CONTROL

100 mm high-precision slider coupled with a 0.05% increment digital

display (within a ±6% range) allows exact control of speed to make tempo adjust-

ments easy and accurate.

¶ TEMPO CONTROL RANGE

The maximum variable range can be set to three variable ranges: ±6%, ±10% and

±16% to facilitate adjustment.

¶ MASTER TEMPO

Changes playback tempo without changing pitch.

CUE

¶ BACK CUE

After storing the Cue point in memory, press the CUE button while playing to go

back to the Cue point.

¶ AUTO CUE

Auto cue automatically locates the song’s start point even if it differs from the track’s

frame, allowing the player to start instantly at a press of the PLAY/PAUSE (3/8)

button.

¶ CUE POINT SAMPLER

The sound from the memorized cue point can be reproduced by one touch, which

can be used as the start point check and the sampler.

REAL TIME SEAMLESS LOOP

This function simplifies setting and releasing loops. This function lets you set a

loop while you are playing a track. A loop can also be set at the end of the track so

that the track does not stop. In addition, an ADJUST mode has been added to en-

able one-touch adjustment to the Loop-out point and facilitate loop operation.

RELOOP

Allows you to replay a loop any number of times.

Press the RELOOP button after releasing loop play to return to the loop start point.

Clever use of on and off in combination with the rhythm make it possible to create

new sound effects.

ONE TRACK LOOP

Automatically sets a loop from the beginning to the end of a track. Prepare the loop

material first, and enjoy loop play by one touch.

CARD MIX

While playing a CD, you can mix sounds from a memory card (dual mode ☞ P.

18).

¶ BPM SYNCHRO mixing

Automatically adjusts the playback speed of the memory card track to the tempo

(BPM) of the currently playing CD.

¶ CARD TEMPO

Allows manual adjustment of the playback tempo of the memory card.

* During BPM synchro playback, this dial operates as the PITCH BEND function.

¶ PITCH BEND

By rotating CARD TEMPO dial, you can perform fine tuning of the playback speed

of the memory card during BPM SYNCHRO (the speed changes in accordance with

the direction the dial is turned). This feature thus allows the playback beat of the

memory card to be matched to that of the CD.

ISOLATOR

This function allows the user to isolate and independently cut any of the three

frequency bands (low, mid-range, high), thus allowing greater control over bal-

ance during dual-mode playback.

PLAYING ADDRESS

This bar graph provides a visual representation of track playback progress that

enables you to see current playback position just like you can on an analog record

by checking needle position. The length of the bar shows current position and a

flashing bar provides advance notice of track end.

SLOT IN

Discs are loaded directly without opening doors or trays, making track selection

that much faster.

FADER START

QUICK START and BACK CUE can be performed using the fader function on DJ

mixers DJM-300, DJM-500, DJM-600 and DJM-3000 (all mixers are sold separately).

MULTI READ

CD-R, CD-RW discs can be replayed. (However, due to certain special characteris-

tics of some discs, recorders as well as dirty or damaged discs, some discs may not

replay properly.)

CD TEXT

Titles and artist names can be displayed during playback of discs supporting CD-

TEXT.

CD-ROM

Supports playback of single-layer recorded MP3 audio data.
