Pitch control function
When playing back an audio CD, the pitch (or speed) of the
playback can be varied. Pitch can be varied +/- 16%.
1. When stopped, push the PITCH control or press the
PITCH key on the remote control to turn the func-
tion on.
The current pitch value appears on the display for
seconds and the PITCH indicator will light up.
2. Turn the PITCH control or use the PITCH (+/-) key
on the remote control to adjust the pitch value from
0.1% to 1.0% in 0.1% increments (default: 0.1%).
3. During playback, the pitch control playback can be
disabled temporarily. Press the PITCH key on the
remote control or push the PITCH control to turn
the function off.
Pitch>OFF appears on the display and the pitch
control playback will be off temporarily, until the
function is re-set again.
NOTE
When turning the pitch control on and off during
playback, sound output is cut for a short instant.
Pitch control cannot be used with MP3 discs.
Key control function
The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback
or playback standby modes. However, please note that this
feature does not work with MP3 discs.
1. Press the MENU key to select the KEY option in the
PLAY sub-menu (see “Operation basics” on page
16) to enter the function.
Or, press the KEY key on the remote control to set
the function on.
The KEY indicator will light up.
2. Use the KEY LEVEL option in the PLAY sub-menu
to adjust the playback key level.
The playback key can be raised or lowered 1/2
octave in half-tone increments. Selection values: 0
(no change), â1 to â6, ã1 to ã6.
3. Rotate the MULTI JOG dial to select the desired key
level and push to enter.
NOTE
In this condition, when a CD is played back, the key
of the music is changed while the speed of the music
remains the same.
Even when the power is turned off, the key change
setting is retained.
When the Key control function is on, even if the Pitch
control function is used to change the playback speed,
the key of playback will remain fixed at the preset key
{even if the key level is 0 (zero)}, the Key control func-
tion can be turned on.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is
vibrating. This is a result of the key control algorithm
working on the CD playback sound and is normal.
A to B repeat playback
If a specific portion between two points on the disc is specified,
that portion can be played back repeatedly.
1. During playback, press the A-B key on the remote
control at the beginning of the desired portion on
the disc.
The REPEAT indicator lights up in the display and the
A- indicator will flash.
2. At the end of the desired portion on the disc, press
the A-B key again.
Then, the REPEAT and A-B indicators light up in the
display, and the desired A-B section will be played
back repeatedly.
NOTE
You can also operate this function during playback standby.
3. To cancel the A-B repeat mode and resume normal
playback, press the A-B key once again.
The REPEAT and A-B indicators will turn off.
NOTE
A-B repeat cannot be used when the specified A-B
section spans more than one track, and cannot be
used with MP3 discs.
When the STOP key is pressed, the specified A-B
section is cancelled.
