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).

(slave and master) is set to more than 32%, the
TEMPO SYNC key will flash and then go out
(tempo sync is lost).

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
