To  manual  set  the  BPMs;  tap  this  button  a  few 
times  to  a  tracks  heavy  down  beat,  the  unit  will 
automatically  calculate  your  tapping  and  trans
-
late  it  into  a  tracks  BPMs.  The  BPM  READOUT

20.  JOG  WHEEL/EFFECTS  PLATTER  - 
This 
wheel has three functions;
A.  The jog wheel will act as a frame search con-
  trol when the CD is in pause or cue mode, 
  allowing you to set a cue point. 
B.  The  wheel  also  works  as  a  pitch  bend  during 
  Playback.  Turning  the  wheel  clockwise  will  
  increase  the  pitch  percentage  up  to  100%,
  and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise 
  direction  will  decrease  the  pitch  percentage 
  down to
  -100%. The pitch bend will be deter-
  mined  on  how  long  you  turn  the  jog  wheel
  continuously.
C.  The jog wheel will also control the bop func-
  tion and a speed effect when the jog wheel 
  effect function is activated, see page 32.
21. TIME MODE - The TIME button will switch the 
time value described in the TIME METER

between two playing CD’s or other playing music 
source. Remember, this is a momentary function. 
When you remove your finger from the pitch but
-
ton, the BPM’s will automatically return to
 PITCH 
SLIDERS (18)
  pitch value Holding down this but-
ton  will  give  a  maximum  of  -100%  pitch.  Use 
this  function  to  slow  to  another  playing  music 
source.  Be  sure  to  notice  that  this  function  is  a 
momentary pitch adjustment, for a more precise 
adjustment use the
  PITCH SLIDER (18) to match 
the BPM’s with another playing music source.   
(+)  PITCH  BEND  BUTTON  -  The (+)  pitch  bend 
function  creates  a  momentary  “BUMP”  in  the

 BASIC OPERATIONS
Figure 7: Hold down the Eject 
Button to remove a disc.
Figure 6: When loading a disc always hold the disc 
by it edges and load the disc label side up.
Figure 8:  Tapping the reverse track button will 
jump back to the previous track. Figure  9: 
Tapping  the  forward  track  button 
will skip forward to the next track.
1.   LOADING/EJECTING DISCS
The DCD-PRO1000™ can only play 3 and 5 inch CDs. Odd shaped, and oval CDs are not compatible. When 
loading a CD into the transport tray, always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 6). Load the disc label side up 
and  place  it  in  the  disc  tray.  Never  touch  the  signal  surface  (the  glossy  side).  To  remove  a  disc  from  the  tray 
press the  EJECT BUTTON (1), see Figure 7.
CAUTION:
•   
NEVER attempt to load any other objects besides a 3" or 5" CD.
•  NEVER attempt to load more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to your unit.
•   
NEVER  force the transport tray  open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction     
and damage the transport system.
2.  SELECTING TRACKS
Select  a  desired  track  by  using  either  of  the  two  TRACK  BUTTONS  (3  &  4). Tapping  the  TRACK  BUTTONS

new track during playback (a track is already in play mode) the new track you selected will immediately begin 
playback as soon as the search operation is completed.

5. STOPPING PLAYBACK -  Figures 10 & 11
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely 
pause or cue the track, this function allows the unit to begin play 
instantly. The drive mechanism will only stop if a disc is ejected or 
the  unit  has  gone  in  to  sleep  mode.  There  are  two  ways  to  stop 
(pause) playback:
1)  Press the  PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (32) during playback. This  
  will pause playback at the exact same point the
  PLAY/PAUSE
  BUTTON (32)  was pressed.
 
2)  Press the
  CUE BUTTON (33) during playback. This will pause
  playback and return the track to the last set cue point.  
3. STARTING PLAYBACK -  Figure 10
Insert an audio CD as described on page 16 (LOADING/EJECTING 
DISCS).  Pressing  the PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  (32)  with  an  audio 
CD loaded will immediately start playback. The  PLAY (52)
 indica-
tor will glow as soon as playback begins. The point at which play
-
back starts (cue point) will automatically be stored in the memory 
as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at 
which  playback  started)  when  the
  CUE  BUTTON  (33) is  pressed 
and released.

4.  AUTO CUE
This  function  will  automatically  set  a  cue  point  to  the  first  audio  source  when  a  CD  is  loaded.  The  first  set 
cue  point  will  always  be  the  beginning  of  track  1.  If  a  new  track  is  selected  before  the  PLAY  BUTTON  (32) 
is 
pressed, a new  CUE POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.
6.  PAUSING - Figure 10
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (32)  was pressed. Pressing 
the  PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (32) will switch between play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the 
PAUSE  INDICATOR  (59)

7. FRAME SEARCH 
This  feature  allows  you  to  scroll  through  a  track  frame  by  frame, 
allowing  you  to  find  and  set  a  starting  cue,  sample,  or  loop  point. 
To use the scroll function you must first be in Pause Mode (see sec
-
tion 5) or Cue Mode (see section 9). Once you are in Pause or Cue 
mode, turn the
  JOG WHEEL (20)  to scroll through the track (Figure 
12).  Turning  the  wheel  in  a  clockwise  direction  will  advance  the 
frame  search  and  turning  the  wheel  in  a  counter-clockwise  direc
-
tion rewinds the frame search. When you use the  JOG WHEEL (20)
 
the monitor (headphone level) function allows you to here what you 
are  scrolling  through.  Once  you  reach  your  desired  starting  point 
you  can  set  a  cue  (starting)  point  by  pressing  the
  PLAY/PAUSE 
BUTTON (32) as in Figure 10. Pressing the
  CUE BUTTON (33)  as in 
Figure 11 will now return you to the point you just set.Figure 12
9.  SETTING and STORING a CUE POINT:
Setting A Cue Point:
A  cue  point  is  the  exact  point  playback  will  begin  when  the  PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  (32)  is  pressed.  You  may 
set your cue points anywhere on a disc or in a track. You may set up to four independent cue points per disk. 
Three cue points are stored in the
  BANK BUTTONS 1-3 (29) and one is shared by the  IN BUTTON (25), and the 
CUE BUTTON (33). There are two (2) ways to set and create a CUE point as detailed in figures 14 and 15
8.  SCANNING (FAST FORWARD / FAST REVERSE)
This  function  gives  you  a  fast  search  through  a  disk  or 
track. Turn the  SEARCH WHEEL (11)  in clockwise direction 
for  fast  forward  or  turn  the  wheel  counterclockwise  for  fast 
reverse. You can scan in four different forward and four dif
-
ferent  reverse  speeds  depending  on  how  much  you  rotate 
the wheel.
1)  You may press the  IN BUTTON (25) on the fly (while the  
    disc is playing). This will set a CUE Point without music inter- 
    ruption. Pressing the
  CUE BUTTON (33) will now return you to  
    the same point that you pressed the
  CUE BUTTON (33).  You  
    may now store this CUE Point in any of the
  BANK BUTTONS 
  1-3 (29).
  Pressing the  CUE BUTTON (33), or the  IN BUTTON  
    (25)
  will now return y ou to this exact point.

2)  You may also use the JOG WHEEL (20) to set a cue point.  
  While a disc is in PAUSE or CUE mode, use the  JOG WHEEL  
  (20)
  to scroll through a track to find your desired starting point.
  Once you have found your desired position press the 
PLAY  
  BUTTON (32)
  to set your cue point. Pressing the CUE BUTTON
  (33)  or the IN BUTTON (25)
 will now return you to this exact point.

Storing A Cue Point:
Once you have set your CUE Point by one of the two means listed on page 16, you may store your cue point 
in one of the
  BANK BUTTONS (29). Once you store this cue point in memory you may recall it at any time and 
you  may  even  recall  if  the  disc  has  been  removed  or  power  had  been  disconnected.  You  may  store  a  maxi
-
mum  of  three  cue  points  per  a  disc  and  maximum  of  1,500  cue  points  can  be  saved  in  unit's  memory.  The
 
MEMORY BUCKET (57)
  in the  LCD DISPLAY (34) will approximate the available memory. Either a CUE POINT 
or a SAMPLE (See creating a sample loop on page 22) can be stored into a
