preprogrammed cue point. This stutter effect adds extra creativity to your

performance.

 LOOP EDIT: When a loop is programmed, press the RELOOP/STUTTER button

for about 2 seconds to enter “loop edit” mode. Now you are able to change the

endpoint of the loop. See chapter “How to use…” for more information.

6. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during playback provides an immediate return

to the position at which playback was started. Playback starts immediately from the

programmed cue point for as long as the CUE button is pressed. The CD player jumps

back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released. Also with the unit in

pause mode (Play/Pause LED blinks) the search and/or jog wheel is used to set a

different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" button then "CUE", you can confirm

this new cue point.

7. SCRATCH button: Used to put the MCD200 in scratch mode. This option gives you

the possibility to scratch any track on the CD in real time. You can use the scratch

function in both play and pause mode:

 In play mode: The music plays normally until you turn the big jog wheel(20).

While manipulating the jog wheel(20), the scratch effect is audible. Once the jog

wheel is stopped, the music continues playing from the point where you stopped

turning it.

 In pause mode: the music is paused for as long as the jog wheel(20) isn’t moved.

When you start manipulating the jog wheel(20), the scratch effect is audible. Once

the jog wheel is stopped, the music stops playing and waits in pause mode.

NOTE: during scratch mode you can switch between play and pause mode by simply pressing the

PLAY/PAUSEbutton(8)

8. PLAY/PAUSE button: every time you press the PLAY/PAUSE button the CD player

changes from play to pause or from pause to play. The button blinks as long as the

player is set to pause.

9. MEMORY Button: is used to store cue points and loops to the Hot Cue buttons and to

the permanent cue memory:

 Storing to HOT CUE buttons: Press the MEMORY button shortly to prepare the

MCD200 for storing a cue point or loop to one of the 4 HOT CUE buttons.

 Storing to permanent memory: Press the MEMORY button until it starts flashing

and the LCD display shows “SAVING”. The contents of the HOT CUE buttons for

this CD are stored to permanent memory.

Look further in this manual for more information on how to use these functions.

10. OPEN/CLOSE button: press this button to open and close the disc tray in the front of

the MCD200. This button is disabled during playback. If the tray is not closed after

60sec. It will close automatically to prevent damage.

11. LCD DISPLAY: Shows all important information needed during playback. Refer to the

next chapter for more information.

12. PITCH RANGE Button: Every time you press this button, you will change the scale of

the speed slider(15). On normal audio CDs you can select +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16% and

+/-100%. The +/-100% option is not available on MP3 CDs.

13. PITCH LOCK Button: (Master tempo) activates the Pitch Lock function. This function

allows you to make adjustments to a tracks speed using the pitch control without

altering its tonal pitch. This button turns red when the Pitch Lock is on.

NOTE: be informed that the pitch lock function has its limitations. From a certain speed deviation

(depends on the music style) the pitch lock won’t be able to keep the same pitch anymore. First you will

hear a small distortion that becomes more important at higher speed deviations. This is not always a

disadvantage: at very low speeds you can also use it as a special “distortion effect”!

14. SPEED Button: This button is used to turn the speed function on and off.

15. SPEED slider: Press the SPEED button(14), so it is lit. The speed can be changed up

to +/-100% by moving the fader. The speed will not change if the SPEED button(14) is

off. You can change the pitch range with the PITCH RANGE button(12)

16. TIME Button: The TIME button switches between elapsed playing time, remaining

time in a selection and total remaining time of the disc. (standard = remaining /track)

The “total remaining time of the disc” is not available on MP3 CDs.

The TIME button is also used to set the pitch bend parameter of the jog dial. See

“Pitch bend parameter” in the chapter “How to use”.

17. SGL/CTN Button: with this button you can choose between “single track mode” and

“continuous play”. You can also switch the auto cue function (-48dB) on and off.

 Continuous play: the complete CD will be played without interruption. (mostly

used in pubs)

 Single track: player stops at the end of each track and waits at the beginning of

the next track. The player waits at the first music note of each track. This means

that badly indexed CDs will not interfere with the instant start capabilities of this

CD player. This is a very useful feature for deejays!

 Auto Cue on/off: The MCD200 automatically detects the first “music note” on

each track to ensure the music starts immediately when you press the play

button. To turn this Auto Cue function on/off just press the SGL/CTN button for

about 2 seconds. The display shows “A.CUE” when the function is active.

18. PITCH BEND buttons: The speed rises while the “+ button” is pressed and returns to

the original pitch when the button is released. The speed drops when the “– button” is

pressed and returns to the original pitch when the button is released. These buttons

can be used to synchronize the beats of 2 tracks.

19. HOT CUE buttons: 4 programmable buttons where you can store ordinary cue points

and/or loops. You can program up to 4 cue points and/or loops divided over all the

tracks on your CD.

 Button not lit: no cue points loaded.

 Button is red: a simple cue point is loaded

 Button is green: a loop is loaded

If you like you can store the contents of these HOT CUE buttons to the internal

permanent memory. Look further is this manual for more information on how to

program cue points etc.

NOTE: When you put another CD in the disc traywithout firstwriting the current HOT CUE memories to

the internal permanent memory, theywill be erased.

20. BIG JOG WHEEL: This jog wheel serves 3 functions depending on the mode you are

working in.

 The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is not

playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point, spin the

wheel then press PLAY(8) or LOOP IN(3) when you have determined the proper

position. Press CUE(6) to return to the “CUE POINT”.

 If the track is playing, the jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-

100% by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed it up or counterclockwise to slow it

down. The amount of pitch change is determined by the speed of rotation. This is an

alternative to the PITCH BEND buttons(18).

 In scratch mode the jog wheel is used to manipulate the playback of the music in real

time. As a result you can scratch the music on your CD the way you do this with a

normal analog vinyl record.

21. CD TRAY INDICATOR: is lit when no CD is loaded and when the CD tray is open or

prepares to open.
