There are four ways to change the way
a CD is played back, using menu items
in the Tempo Key menu: Tempo con-
trol ( TMP ), VSA (Variable Speed Audi-
tion) setup ( VSA ), Key control ( KEY ), and
Fine tuning ( FINE )
Tempo control
Tempo control allows you to change
the tempo of a track.
Press the
TMP/KEY key to enter the
Tempo Key menu, and select TMP by
pressing either the PREV or NEXT key.
TEMPO blinks on the display.
When VSA is ON (see below), the set-
tings you can choose are: -50, -32, -16,
-12, -8, -4, 0 (off), +4, +8, +12, and
+16%. Press the UP or DOWN keys to
set the value.
When VSA is OFF you can change the
setting between –50 and +16% in 1%
steps.
Press either the
UP or DOWN key to
set the tempo.When the tempo is set to
a value other than zero, TEMPO shows in
the home display mode.
VSA
When VSA is ON, you can change the
tempo without changing the key.
Press the
TMP/KEY key to enter the
Tempo Key menu, select VSA by press-
ing either the PREV or NEXT key. Press
either the UP or DOWN key to choose
either ON or OFF. TEMPO blinks on the dis-
play. When the VSA is set to ON, the
letters VSA are shown in the display.
NOTE
If the tempo control value is not set to 0 and
you change VSA from OFF to ON, the tempo
value will be automatically reset to a “VSA ON
value.” For example, if the value displayed is
-33 when VSA is OFF, it will automatically be
adjusted to -50 when you turn VSA ON.
Key control
Key control changes the key of the mu-
sic up or down by six semitones.
Press the
TMP/KEY key to enter the
Tempo Key menu, and select KEY by
pressing either the PREV or NEXT key.
KEY blinks on the display. Press either
the UP or DOWN key to set the value
for the key. The range is ± 6 semitones
( I 6 – 0 (off) – O 6). When the key is set
to a value other than zero, KEY shows in
the home display mode.
Fine tuning
Fine tuning changes the key of the mu-
sic by cents (100 cents = 1 semitone).
This allows you to make fine adjust-
ments and allow for slight tuning dif-
ferences between your instruments and
the CD.
Press the
TMP/KEY key to enter the
Tempo Key menu, and select FINE by
pressing either the PREV or NEXT key.
KEY blinks on the display. Press either
the UP or DOWN key to set the fine
tuning value.
The range for adjustment is ±50 cents
(-50 – 0 (off) – +50). If the key con-
trol is set to O 6, however, the available
range of fine tuning is between -50 – 0,
and when it is set to I 6, the fine tun-
ing range is between 0 – +50. When
the fine tuning is set to a value other
than zero, KEY shows in the home dis-
play mode.
