21. (-) PITCH BEND - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the CD’s pitch speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the PITCH (23) function is activated. This functions allows the beats between two CD’s or any other music source to match. This is a momentary function. When the button is depressed the pitch speed will automatically return to PITCH SLID- ER'S (24) selected pitch. Holding down this but- ton will give a maximum of -12% pitch. Be sure to remember that this function is a momentary pitch adjust-ment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER'S (23) to match the BPM’s with another playing music source. 22. (+) PITCH BEND - The (+) pitch bend function creates a momentary “BUMP” in the CD’s pitch speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the PITCH (23) function is activated. This functions allows the beats between two CD’s or any other music source to match. This is a momentary function. When the button is depressed the pitch speed will automatically return to PITCH SLIDER'S (24) selected pitch. Holding down this button will give a maximum of +12% pitch. Be sure to remember that this function is a momentary pitch adjust- ment, for a more precise adjustment use the PITCH SLIDER'S (24) to match the BPM’s with another playing music source. 23. PITCH BUTTON - This button is used to turn the pitch function on and off. The pitch func- tions of the PITCH SLIDER (24),PITCH BEND BUTTONS (21 & 22) and JOG WHEEL (13) will not function without this function being activated. 24. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the PITCH (23) function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slid- er is moved or the PITCH (23) function has been turned off. This adjustment can be made with or without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain even if a disc has been remove, and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc too will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the LCD (4). Use this slider to match the BPM’s of this unit to that of another music source. By changing the pitch of one disc with respect to the other in this way, the beats can be matched. 25. VOLTAGE SELECTOR - Because power supplies vary from location to location a voltage selector switch has been incorporated in the unit's design. This switch can select a voltage input of 120v or 220v to accommodate the two major power source. Always be sure to disconnect the power plug before changing the voltage. 26. POWER CORD - This is the main power connection. The power cord is polarized and is designed to fit in the socket one way. Do not attempt to force the cord in to a socket if it does not fit. If the cord does not fit one way, try flipping it over. Also, be sure the local power matches the unit’s required power. 27. DIGITAL OUT - This jack sends a digital stereo out signal. Use this connection to create near perfect copies of your disc to a Mini disc, CD-R, or any other recording device with a digital input. 28. AUDIO OUT R & L - These jacks are used to send a left and right output signal. Use these jacks to send an audio signal to a mixer or receiver. The red colored jack represents the right channel out- put and white jack represents the left channels output. Used together these signal reproduce a stereo signal. 29.TRACK INDICATOR -This double digit indi- cator details a current track. The number dis- played in the track indicator is a direct reference to a track being selected for programming or a track in play, pause, or cue mode. 30. MINUTES METER -This meter will display the elapse, or remaining time in minutes. The dis- play time will be indirect reference to the current time mode. 31. SECONDS METER - This meter will display the elapse, or remaining time in seconds. The display time will be indirect reference to the cur- rent time mode. 32. FRAME METER - This meter will display the FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS ©American Audio® - www.americandj.com - SCD-100™ Instruction Manual Page 11

As with the TIME METER (30, 31, & 32), this bar is also dependent on the selected time function (REMAIN (37) OR ELAPSE (34time function (REMAIN (37) OR ELAPSE (34time function (). This bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in. 34.ELAPSE INDICATOR - This indicator is in direct reference to the TIME METER (30, 31, & 32). When the Elapse indicator is displayed in the LCD, the time defined will refer to a single track's elapsed time. The time mode is changed by the tapping on the TIME BUTTON (3). 35. CONTINUE INDICATOR - This indicates the unit is in continuous play mode. In continuous mode the drive will play through all the tracks on the disc. Once all the tracks have ended the unit will return to cue mode. If the CONTINUE indica- tor is not displayed the unit is in single play mode and the SINGLE indicator will glow. 36. SINGLE INDICATOR -This indicates the unit is in single play mode, the unit will play a single track and return to CUE mode. If the SINGLE indicator is not displayed the unit is in continuous mode and the CONTINUE indicator will glow. 37. REMAIN INDICATOR - This indicator is in direct reference to the TIME METER (30, 31, & 32). When the REMAIN indicator is displayed in the LCD (4), the time defined will refer to a single track's remaining time. The time mode is changed by tapping on TIME BUTTON (3). 38. PITCH METER -This meter displays the pitch percentage being applied to playback by the PITCH SLIDER (24).

12. PITCH BEND This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed using the(-) & (+) PITCH BUT- TONS (21 & 22). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with thePITCH SLIDER (24) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (24) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of -/+16%. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (21 & 22) The(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON(22)will provide a speed bump and the(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (21)will pro- vide a slow down. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (22) is held down continuously, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 12% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (22) the disc speed will automatically return to it’s previous speed. Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON(22)will provide a speed bump in the playback pitch. Holding down or tapping on the(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON(21) will provide a slow down in the playback pitch. Figure 15 Figure 16 JOG WHEEL (13) The JOG WHEEL (13)will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in play mode. Turing the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and turning the wheel in a counter- clockwise direction will slow your track pitch. The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL (13) will determine pitch bend per- centage, to a maximum of +/-16%.
