    against  them, paying  particular  attention to cords  at
    plugs,  convenience  receptacles, and the point  where
    they exit from the product.
    OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING —  If an outside
    antenna  or cable  system  is connected  to the  product,
    be  sure  the antenna  or cable  system is grounded  so
    as  to provide  some protection  against voltage  surges
    and  built-up  static charges.  Article 810 of the  National
    Electrical  Code, ANSI/NFPA  70, provides  informatio
    nwith regard to proper  grounding  of the  mast  and
    supporting  structure, grounding  of the  lead-in  wire
    to an  antenna  discharge unit, size of grounding
    conductors,  location of antenna-discharge  unit,
    c o n n e c t i o n  t o g r o u n d i n g  e l e c t r o d e s ,  a n d
    requirements  for the  grounding  electrode. See  Figure

    or other electric light or power circuits, or where it
    can 
    fall into  such  power  lines or circuits.  When
    installing  an outside  antenna  system, extreme  care
    should  be taken to keep  from touching  such power
    lines  or circuits  as contact  with them  might  be fatal.OVERLOADING — Do  not  overload  wall outlets,
    extension  cords, or integral  convenience  receptacles
    as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. OBJECT 
    AND LIQUID  ENTRY 
    - Never  push  objects  of
    any  kind into this product  through  openings  as they
    may  touch  dangerous  voltage points or short-out
    parts  that could  result 
    in a fire or electric  shock.
    Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
    SERVICING —  Do  not attempt to service this  product
    yourself  as opening  or removing  covers may expose

    damage and will often require extensive work by a
    qualified  technician to restore  the product to its
    normal operation.
    •If  the  product  has been  dropped  or damaged in anyway.
    • W hen the product  exhibits a distinct  change in
    performance — this indicates a need for service.
    REPLACEMENT  PARTS 
    -- When  replacement  parts
    are  required,  be sure  the service  technician  has used
    replacement  parts specified  by the  manufacturer  or
    have  the same  characteristics  as the  original  part.
    Unauthorized  substitutions may result  in fire,  electri
    c
    shock, or other hazards.

    mode. 
    8. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) -  This high quality LCD Indicates all the functions (play, pause, 
    cue,  etc..,),  as  they  occur.  This  display  is  viewable  at  several  comfortable  angles  as  described  on 
    page 6. The LCD icons will be described on page 12.
    9. PITCH BEND BUTTONS -
      (-) PITCH BEND - 
    The  (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the CD’s pitch 
    speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the 
    PITCH  (10) 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  (13) 
    selected 
    pitch.  Holding  down  this  button  will  give  a  maximum  of  -16%  pitch.  Be  sure  to  remember  that  this 
    function  is  a  momentary  pitch  adjustment,  for  a  more  precise  adjustment  use  the  PITCH  SLIDER'S 
    (13)  to match the BPM’s with another playing music source.   
     (+)  PITCH  BEND  -  The  (+)  pitch  bend  function  creates  a  momentary  “BUMP”  in  the  CD’s  pitch 
    speed (Beats per minute - BPM) when the 
    PITCH  (10) 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  (13) 
    selected 
    pitch.  Holding  down  this  button  will  give  a  maximum  of  +16%  pitch.  Be  sure  to  remember  that  this 
    function  is  a  momentary  pitch  adjustment,  for  a  more  precise  adjustment  use  the  PITCH  SLIDER'S 
    (13)  to match the BPM’s with another playing music source.  
    10. PITCH BUTTON -  This button is used to turn the pitch function on and off. The pitch functions of 
    the PITCH  SLIDER  (13),  PITCH  BEND  BUTTONS  (9) and  JOG  WHEEL  (17)  will  not  function  without 
    this  function  being  activated.  The  pitch  slider  has  a  maximum  range  of  +/-16%.  The  "+"  and  "-" 
    pitch bend buttons have a maximum range of 16%.
     
    11.  +10  TRACK  SKIP  -  This  button  allows  you  to  skip  ahead  by  10  tracks.  Example:    if  you  are  at 
    Track #1, pressing this button will skip you to Track #11, press the button again, it will skip to Track 
    #21. If there are not that many tracks, it will go back to Track #1. 
    12. KEY CONTROL - 
    With these buttons you  can adjust the source music in half-step increments:
    # - Push this button to raise the  key.
    b - Use this button to lower the 
    key.
       -  Use this button to return to the original musical key.
    13. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage when the PITCH (10) 
    function is activated. The slider is a set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved 
    or  the 
    PITCH  (10)  function  has  been  turned  off.  The  maximum  pitch  range  of  the  slider  is  +/-16%. 
    This adjustment can be made with or without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment will remain even 
    if  a  disc  has  been  removed,  and  will  reflect  on  any  other  disc  loaded  into  the  unit.  That  is  to  say,  if 
    you set a +8% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and insert another, that disc will also have a +8% 
    pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the  LCD (8). 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. 
    14.  PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  -  Each  press  of  the  PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  causes  the  operation  to 
    change from play to pause or from pause to play.

        allowing you to set a specific cue point or find a particular starting point. 
      B. The wheel also works as a momentary pitch bend during playback. Turning the wheel    
        clockwise will increase the pitch percentage up to 16%, and turning the wheel in the coun- 
        terclockwise direction will decrease the pitch percentage up to -16%. The pitch bend will be  
        determined on how fast you turn the wheel.
