appears on the display for seconds).

control function does not work. However, the Pitch
control menu can be operated.

The key of the music can be changed during stop, playback
or playback standby modes. However, please note that this
feature does not work with MP3 discs.

The playback key can be raised or lowered 1/2 octave
in half-tone increments. Selection values: 0 (no
change), â1 to â6,
ã
1 to

6.
NOTE
In this condition, when a CD is played back, the key
of the music is changed while the speed of the music
remains the same.
When the Key control function is on, only the playback
speed changes when you use the Pitch control func-
tion, and the key of playback will remain fixed. (The
key of playback will be fixed to the level set by
KEY
LEVEL>XXX
.) Therefore, if you set KEY LEVEL>XXX
to
0 and turn on the Key control function, you can
change only the playback speed without changing the
key of playback.
When the unit is in stop mode with CD Key control on,
when the PLAY or PAUSE key is pressed, the display
shows
Key ON for seconds (if CD Key control and CD
Pitch control are on,
Pitch/Key ON appears on the
display for seconds).
When the unit is writing data to a disc, the Key control
function does not work. However, the Key control
menu can be operated.
When using the key control function, the volume of
the playback sound may occasionally sound like it is
vibrating. This is a result of the key control algorithm
working on the CD playback sound and is normal.
