or the PITCH (6) function has been 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 removed, 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 will also have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be dis-
played in the LCD (2). Use this slider to match the BPM’s of this unit to that of another music source.
By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the other in this way, the beats can be matched.

the button is depressed the pitch speed will automatically return to PITCH SLIDER'S (11) selected
pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +16% pitch. Be sure to remember that this
function is a momentary pitch adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER'S
(11) to match the BPM’s with another playing music source.
13. (-) PITCH BEND - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the CD’s pitch
