Shockproof memory
• A maximum of approximately 10 seconds
uncompressed audio data is stored into memory
(per drive). This guards audible interruptions due
to external mechanical shocks such as bumps
or other hard vibrations.
• If advanced data reading is not possible due to
scratches or dirt on the disc, playback stops
once the data stored up to that point is read.

PITCH/BRAKE
(1) Pitch
• There are two ways to change the playing speed.
• Adjust the Pitch using the pitch slider !3.
• The PITCH BEND button !2 or jog wheel y can be used to temporarily change the pitch.
