operates differently when the surface of the Jog dial is pressed.)
÷ In proportion to the amount of rotation, the playback speed is accelerated
(FWD+) or decelerated (REV–). When in the reverse mode (when REV
button is lighted), the playback speed accelerates when the dial is rotated
in the REV– direction, and decelerates when rotated in the FWD+ direc-
tion.

(When JOG MODE is set to CDJ, the unit enters the audible pause mode, and
when set to VINYL, the unit enters the ordinary muted pause mode (no audi-
ble sound); CD sound is played back at a speed corresponding to the speed with
which the Jog dial is rotated.)
