1. USB CONNECTOR (type A) (RIGHT SIDE OF UNIT ONLY)

This connector is used to attach the USB (1.1 or 2.0) mass storage device containing your song

library. Suitable mass storage devices include: external hard drives, flash drives, portable digital

music players, memory card readers, and USB hubs.

2. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to play the song at the current location, and again to pause at the current location.

3. CUE BUTTON

The

CUE Button lets you practice your mixes in advance by playing sections of the audio without

having to engage full playback with the

PLAY/PAUSE button. During normal playback, pressing

this button immediately moves the play position of the track to the last set cue point and pauses

playback when released. Pressing

CUE again will engage the CUE PLAY function, which plays the

track from the cue point until you release the

CUE button. If you press PLAY/ PAUSE at any time

other than the currently stored cue point, pressing

CUE will reset the cue point to the new position.

4. PLATTER (JOG WHEEL)

The touch-sensitive top portion of the

PLATTER (JOG WHEEL) is made to feel and function like a

real vinyl turntable and, the outer non-slip

PLATTER bump ring for pitch bending provides ultimate

in response control. The

PLATTER has multiple functions:

a. When playing or paused in

SCRATCH mode, the PLATTER can be used as a frame search

control, allowing you quickly search through a song. Holding down the

SCRATCH button, the

wheel is used for high-speed

FAST FORWARD/REWIND SEARCH.

b. Without the

SCRATCH button engaged, the PLATTER works as a pitch bend, similar to a

“push” or a “drag” on a turntable. Turning the

PLATTER counterclockwise temporarily slows

down the playback speed according to the speed, velocity, and duration of the platter rotation.

Turning the

PLATTER clockwise temporarily speeds up the playback speed. Pitch will return to

the current setting when the wheel stops.

c. When in

SCRATCH mode, the PLATTER acts just like a vinyl turntable, moving the song

position forward or back in response to your movements. The outer non-slip

PLATTER bump

ring still performs the pitch bend function.

TOUCH REWIND mode is similar to SCRATCH mode, except playback returns to the Cue point

anytime the top portion of the platter (which is touch-sensitive) is touched. The outer non-slip

PLATTER bump ring still performs the pitch bend function.

5. SCRATCH BUTTON

Enables the touch sensitive PLATTER to respond like a turntable and allow the “Scratching” of your

audio. Most Hip Hop/Scratch DJ’s will want this button the majority of the time. During normal play

mode, touching the platter will pause playback, and moving the platter forward or backward will

create scratch sounds. Holding down the scratch button and moving the PLATTER engages the

Fast-Forward/Rewind function of the player.

6. TOUCH REWIND BUTTON

This function enables you to touch the

PLATTER non-rubberized center section to quickly return

to your set

CUE POINT instantly, enabling rapid return to a CUE POINT for scratch effects (as the

TOUCH REWIND button also turns on the SCRATCH BUTTON). Touching and releasing the jog

wheel once will return playback to the last marked

CUE POINT, letting you quickly return to a cue

point or rapidly trigger a sample/song portion.
