The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback

control function is used to change the playback speed,
the key of playback will remain fixed at the preset key
{even if the key level is 0 (zero)}, the Key control func-
tion can be turned on.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is

working on the CD playback sound and is normal.
