• 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.
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 tray without first writing the current HOT CUE
memories to the internal permanent memory, they will 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.
22. FOLDER SELECTOR: if your CD has MP3 subfolders, you can select these by
simply turning this folder selector. The display shows you the folder number +
name. The folder name is shown instantly when you press the folder selector
shortly. Check the next chapter for more information on the use of subfolders.
When the CD doesn't contain subfolders, this selector is not used.
23. TRACK SELECTOR: used to select the tracks on your CD. If your CD has MP3
subfolders, the MCD200 has two selection modes:
• FOLDER MODE: When used together with the FOLDER selector, you can
only select tracks inside the selected folder. To go to another folder just use
the FOLDER selector.
• TRACK MODE: To select track mode, just press the TRACK selector
shortly: you will be able to browse all the tracks on your CD as if no
subfolders where present. To move quickly (by 10tracks) through the CD,
press the TRACK selector while turning it forward/backward.
24. Audio output: Output for the audio signals from the CD-player. Use the supplied
cinch/cinch cable to connect this output to a CD/line input of your mixing unit.
25. Digital out socket: Use this connector to connect the digital signal (S/PDIF
format) to the input of a digital amplifier or digital recorder (ex. Mini disc)
