same fashion as a turntable. You will also be able to apply digital effects to

unconventional at first, but you will find the performance to be flawless.
While in TT Mode, any manipulation of the vinyl record (or the platter)
will not be applied to the CD. In order to preserve vinyl's unique sound
qualities as much as possible, the audio from the Turntable portion is not
sent through the DSP effects section.

CD portion. Note that the independent audio outputs on the back of the
CDT-05 allow you to connect the CD and Vinyl portion of the unit to sep-
arate channels of your audio mixer. In Mix Mode, the P
will control the pitch of the Turntable portion, and the P
(10) will control the pitch of the CD portion. Because the unit shares many
functions between CD, Turntable, and Mix, it is best to read over the
Functions section to get a grasp of how each function behaves in each
mode.
5. Read the rest of the manual! Everyone (even the author of this manu-
al) wants to start playing right away, and that is understandable - especial-
ly with such an exciting and innovative product as the CDT-05. However,
the function of it does differ from conventional products, and this manual
<5>
is written to address those differences and put them into the perspective
and context of a performing DJ. You might even discover functions you
never knew existed! We know that you want to dive right in and get start-
ed, but keep the manual at an arm's length, just in case you get stuck or
need clarification.
