4.7 Tempo Sync
This function allows you to match tempos between
the two decks of the CD-302, using the BPM facility.
In this, and the beat sync function described below,
either deck can be the “master” deck (the deck from
which the tempo is taken) or the “slave” deck (whose
tempo is matched to that of the master).
1 Start playback on the master unit. The BPM
counter shows the current tempo (either from
the disc or from the tap function (see 4.5.3,
“Using the tap mode with the BPM counter”).
2 Start playback on the slave unit, and press the
TEMPO SYNC key P on the slave unit.
The
TEMPO SYNC key will flash until the tem-
pos are matched. After the tempos have been
matched, the
TEMPO SYNC key will light
steadily.
3 Re-cue the slave unit so that you can start the
playback at the required point.

The tempo sync mode will be cancelled under the
following conditions:
• If the
TEMPO SYNC key or the BEAT SYNC key is
pressed on the master deck.
• If the
TEMPO SYNC key is pressed on the slave
deck.
• The
TEMPO slider is moved on the slave deck.
• If the difference in tempos between the two decks
(slave and master) is set to more than 32%, the
TEMPO SYNC key will flash and then go out
(tempo sync is lost).
4.8 Beat Sync
This function allows beat-level synchronization
between the two decks which have already been
“tempo synced” as described above (4.7, “Tempo
Sync”).
The beat sync will then adjust the slave unit, so that
the beats of the music played back on the two decks
are synchronized (rather than simply being played
