(FIGURE 3)
1.  PITCH  PERCENTAGE  SELECTOR  -  Press 
this  button  to  select  pitch  range  percentages 
of  4%,  8%,  16%,  and  100%.  See  adjusting  the 
PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE on page 28.
2.  TEMPO LOCK FUNCTION - This button acti-

allows  you  to  use  the  PITCH  SLIDER  to  speed 
up or slow down playback speed without altering 
the tonal pitch of the track. When...

slider  is  moved  or  the  pitch  function  has  been 
turned  off.  This  adjustment  can  be  made  with 
or  without  a  disc  in  the  drive.  The  pitch  adjust

and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the

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
