mode, causing the unit to play continuously until the last track
on the CD or currently selected FOLDER.
PITCH BUTTON (14 A): Pushing the PITCH button activates
the PITCH control function. There are three settings: 8%, 16%
and 24% which can be toggled by pressing the PITCH button
once for each setting.
PITCH ROTARY (14 B): In PITCH mode, moving the PITCH
rotary clockwise will raise the pitch percentage and moving
the PITCH rotary counter clockwise will lower the pitch per-
centage.
PITCH BEND (15): Pushing the PITCH BEND buttons will au-
tomatically bend the pitch up to +26% or bend the pitch down
to -26% depending on the setting of the PITCH (14) rotary.
Releasing the buttons will return the pitch to the original pitch
setting. You can use this function to match the beat when
mixing from one song to another.
LOOP FUNCTION (16, 17, 18): A LOOP repeats the section
between the entry point IN (16) and the exit point OUT (17).
To set a loop while the unit is playing, start by pressing the IN
(16) button (the adjacent LED will light up) and when you reach
the desired end loop point, press the OUT (17) button (cor-
responding LED will light up). The loop will continue playing
until you press the OUT (17) button again allowing the music
to continue from that point on, to re-engage the loop you must
press the RELOOP (18) button.
When you have released your loop, both lights will stay ON to
indicate that your loop is stored in the CDMP-1400 memory.
Pressing the IN BUTTON again while the unit is playing will
erase the previously saved loop while saving your new loop
entry point. Press OUT to exit the loop and save a new com-
plete loop. Press RELOOP to return to the beginning of the
previously saved loop from normal play. Press RELOOP re-
peatedly to cause the loop to stutter.
PLAY/PAUSE (19): Each press of the PLAY/PAUSE button
causes the operation to change from PLAY to PAUSE or from
PAUSE back to PLAY. The PLAY/PAUSE button remains lit
when in PLAY mode, while it blinks in PAUSE mode.
CUE (20): With the CDMP-1400, creating and memorizing cue
points is quick and easy. By default, when there is no CUE
Point set (or memorized), pressing the CUE button returns the

unit to the beginning of the track (0:00.00) and pauses it. To
set a CUE Point during playback at a time of your choice,
simply press PAUSE, and then use the SEARCH (27) function
to make any adjustments by frame. When Play is pressed to
resume playback, the CUE POINT will be stored.
REPEAT (21): Press the REPEAT button once to engage or
repeat the selected track. Press REPEAT again to engage the
ALL setting which will repeat all the tracks on the CD. Press
REPEAT (21) again to disengage the repeat function.
USB PORT (22): The USB PORT allows the connection of any
USB mass storage device*.
USB/CD (23): The USB/CD select button allows you to toggle
from the CDMP-1400 internal CD drive and the mass storage
device connected to the USB port.
MASTER VOL (24): The MASTER VOL (25) rotary governs the
overall volume level output by the CDMP-1400.
MIC VOL (26): The MIC VOL rotary governs the LEVEL of the
MIC INPUT signal.
SEARCH (27): Use the SEARCH function when playing a file
to fast forward or rewind. Also, this function can be used to
finely adjust CUE points.
BPM (28): (NOTE-THE BPM FUNCTION IS AVAILABLE ONLY
ON THE REMOTE CONTROL) Press and hold the BPM but-
ton to turn on the BPM read out. Once on, you may TAP the
button to the beat of the music. After a few TAPS the DIS-
PLAY (11) will read out the average BEATS PER MINUTE of
the track. *NOTE: If there is a BPM value present in the MP3's
ID3-tag, it will be displayed. If there is none it will display 0
until you TAP the value in.
*The (A type) USB connection on the face of this unit is for
connecting USB storage devices such as flash drives, MP3
players and external hard drives.
While this player is capable of connecting to and loading mu-
sic from most types of USB storage devices and MP3 players,
we can not guarantee playback from all such devices due to
the varying nature of the devices and their storage methods,
most storage devices and storage class MP3 players are com-
patible for playback. Check with the devices manufacturer for
additional compatibility information.
The player pre-reads the entire directory structure and locates
all valid MP3 files within those folders, thus a LARGE CAPAC-
ITY storage device will take a LONG TIME TO LOAD.
CONSTANT BIT RATE (CBR) vs. VARIABLE BIT RATE (VBR)
MP3: Files are created (Encoded) using two basic methods,
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). VBR files
while saving some space, are decoded on-the-fly, causing a
slight lag or stutter when setting a CUE point. They can also
cause a slight skip during playback if the units memory buffer
is over run. CBR files, conversely, take up a little more room
but are quick to process which means no lag in CUE setting
or playback.
VBR files can easily be converted to CBR using any com-
mercially available MP3 ripping software.
Media support types: CD, CD-R. CD-RW, USB
Media support formats: CD AUDIO, CD-MP3, and USB WAV/MP3
USB support disk format: FAT, FAT32 and NTFS
