FEATURES
¡Tempo Control
The speed of the CD can be increased and decreased by up to 50%
without changing the key (musical pitch).
¡Tunning Control (PSD230)
The key (musical pitch) of the CD can be adjusted so that the CD player
can be tuned to a musical instrument rather than the musical instrument
having to be tuned to the CD player.
¡Key Control (PSD230)
The key (musical pitch) of the CD can be raised or lowered by up to 1
octave.
¡Voice Reduction (PSD230)
The PSD230 includes a special processor that can reduce the volume
level of the vocal track on a CD.
¡Mic/Line Mixing (PSD230)
The PSD230 includes an input for a microphone or music instrument (line
level) source that can be mixed together with the CD sound for practice
purposes.
¡10 Second Anti-Shock Protection
The PSD220/230 provide a 10 second anti-shock buffer to prevent skips
and jumps in the audio when the unit is moved or shaken while playing.
¡CD-RW Playback
The PSD220/230 has been specially designed to read and playback
finalized CD-RW (ReWritable) discs.
¡CD-TEXT Display (PSD230)
The PSD230 includes a built-in CD-TEXT decoder so that CDs that
contain CD-TEXT information regarding the disc title, artist name, etc.,
can be displayed.
¡3-Band EQ
The PSD220/230 include a 3-band EQ so that the bass (low frequency),
mid (middle frequency), or treble (high frequency) portion of the CD
sound can be adjusted.
¡Single Track Play
The PSD220/230 is equipped with a single-track play feature that will
play only one track at a time without having to create a custom play
program.
¡Cue-to-Music
During the single track play mode, the PSD220/230 will cue (pause) a
selected track at the beginning of the audio, rather than the true start of
the track.
¡Foot Pedal Input
An optional foot pedal (model FT200) can be connected and used to
start and stop the CD for music practice or transcription purposes.
¡Built-In Full Range Speaker
The built-in speaker allows listening to or practing with a CD without
having to connect to other equipment for amplification.
About CD-TEXT (PSD230)
CD-TEXT is a new type of music CD feature that includes the recording
of character information of the performer names, album name, track
names, etc., in addition to the audio information contained in music CD.
The character information is recorded in an area which has not been
utilized by previous music CDs. This means that the CD-TEXT discs can
be played back in the same way as ordinary music CD discs on any CD-
TEXT compatible player such as the PSD230.
* The PSD230 detects the CD-TEXT compatibility of each disc auto-
matically.
The display can show the character information including the album
name, track names, performer names, verse writer names, music
composer names, arranger names, message and music genre. How-
ever, the content of the character information is variable depending on
discs.
* For detailed operating procedures for displaying the character
information in the CD-TEXT, read the description on page 9 of this
manual.
The PSD230 can display up to 10 characters at a time. If the character
information in a disc is longer, the characters are scrolled from the left
to the right on the display.
* Scrolling refers to a method of displaying characters by moving them.
The PSD230 is capable of smooth scrolling by feeding characters
one by one.
About CD-RW Playback
The PSD220/230 can play back CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well as
ordinary music CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
* The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-recorded TOC
information so that they can be played back. With the CD recorder
system, writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to as
finalizing the disc. A disc cannot be recognized as a CD disc and
played back unless it has been finalized properly. For details, please
read the instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as
the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
* The PSD220/230 can only play discs recorded in the CD-DA format
designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc
containing data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.
* As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the
player setup, it may take longer to read the TOC information com-
pared to a music CD or CD-R disc.
* Because CD-RW discs have lower reflectivity than CDs and CD-R
discs, dirt on the surface of a CD-RW disc can generate noise, make
the CD-RW disc unplayable, or cause misoperation. If any of these
symptons occur, wipe the surface of the CD-RW disc as indicated on
page 16.

EQ controls.
• On the PSD230, an input microphone or line level signal is not mixed
with the DIGITAL OUT signal.
• The VOLUME control knob on the PSD220/230 does not effect the
level of the DIGITAL OUT signal.
• The format of the DIGITAL OUT is SPDIF (IEC-958-2).
Connection of Headphones
1. Plug commercially available headphones into the HEADPHONE
jack.
Notes
¡The PSD220/230 HEADPHONE jack accepts a 1/4” plug. Many
headphone’s in the market have a 1/8” plug. An adapter plug that will
convert 1/8” to 1/4” is available at most audio/video specialty stores.
Caution for headphone listening:
¡Traffic safety
Never wear headphones during riding a bicycle, motorbike or auto-
mobile. Even during walking, increasing the headphone volume too
high is dangerous because this isolates you from the ambient sound.
Be specially careful on railroad or pedestrian crossings.
¡Protection of the ears
Listening to the headphones for long hours at a high volume may
affect your sense of audition. To protect your ears, do not maintain
high headphone volume.
Connection of a Microphone or Line Level
Source (PSD230)
The PSD230 provides an XLR / 1/4” MIC/LINE IN jack that can be used
to input a microphone (dynamic type) or a line (music instrument) level
signal for purposes of mixing with the CD.
1. Select the type of input you are planning to use via the input level
switch located to the left of the MIC/LINE IN jack. The MIC position is
for a microphone level signal and the LINE position is for a line level
signal.
¡Most electric guitars output a microphone level signal.
2. Connect the output of the microphone or line level source to the MIC/
LINE IN jack of the PSD220/230.
3. Use the MIX/SPLIT control to decide how the input microphone or line
level signal is mixed with the CD. The MIX position will mix (combine)
the input signal with both the left and right channels of the CD playing
back. The SPLIT position will separate the input signal and the CD
playingbackbysendingthe input signal to the right channel and both
channels of the CD to the left channel.
4. Use the LEVEL control to determine how much of the input signal you
want to mix with the CD. The VOLUME control knob determines the
overall output level through the headphones and built-in speaker,
while the LEVEL control determines the volume level of the input
signal compared to the CD sound.
Controlling the Volume
The VOLUME control knob adjusts the sound level of the headphone
jack and the built-in speaker, and does not effect the level of the LINE
OUT and DIGITAL OUT signals.

TEMPO Control
The PSD220/230 is equipped with the ability to change the CD playback
speed by up to -33% to +50% without changing the key (musical pitch)
of the sound from the CD.
The “+” button increases the speed in steps of 1%.
The “–” button decreases the speed in steps of 1%.
Holding down eitherthe “+” or “–” buttonsfor more than 1 secondcauses
the speed to change rapidly.
Pressing both the “+” and “–” buttons at the same time will return the
TEMPO to the 0% position (normal speed).
Display
Notes
¡If the “+” or “–” buttons are pressed while another display (such as
the CD-TEXT) is shown, the current position of the TEMPO control is
displayed first. Once one of the “+” or “–” are pressed a second time,
the position then changes.
¡If the KEY has been changed, TEMPO control is not available.
Restore KEY control to the 0.00 position in order to use TEMPO
control.
¡Pressing the STOP button during the stop mode will reset the Tempo
to 0%.
TUNING Control (PSD230)
The PSD230 allows the CD output to be tuned to a musical instrument
that is used for practicing instead of traditionally tuning the instrument to
the music practice source.
The tuning system allows the key (musical pitch) of the CD output to be
changedbyup to 2%. Access tothetuningsystem is only availablewhile
the tempo is changed or after the TEMPO buttons are pressed and the
“TEMPO” message is displayed. The “KEY +” and “KEY -” buttons are
used to change the tuning value.
The “+” button raises the key in 0.1% increments and is displayed as a
whole number with a “+” sign. For example, to raise the key of the CD
by 1.5%, the display should show "+15".
The “-” button lowers the key in 0.1% increments and is displayed as a
whole number with a “-” sign. For example, to lower the key of the CD
by 0.8%, the display should show "- 8".
Notes
¡If the CD is tuned, KEY control is not available. Restore the tuning
control to the "+ 0" position in order to use KEY control.
KEY Control (PSD230)
The PSD230 is equipped with the ability to change the key (or musical
pitch) of the sound of the CD by up to ±1 octave.
The key control system works on the following musical principles:
100 cents=1 half step
2 half steps=1 whole step
6 whole steps=1 octave
The “+” button raises the key in steps of 12.5 cents and is displayed as
a percent of the next half step up, rounded to the nearest tenth. For
example, to raise the key of the CD by 2 1/2 half steps, the display should
show “2.50”.
The “–” button lowers the key in steps of 12.5 cents and is displayed as
a percent of the next half step down, rounded to the nearest tenth. For
example,tolowerthe key of the CDby31/4 half steps, the displayshould
show “-3.25”.
Holding down either the “+” or “–” key for more than 1 second causes the
key to change rapidly as long as the key is held down.
Pressing both the “+” and “–” buttons at the same time will return the KEY
to the 0.00 position (normal key).
Display
Notes
¡If the “+” or “–” buttons are pressed while another display (such as
CD-TEXT) is shown, the current position of the KEY control is
displayed first. Once one of the “+” or “–” keys are pressed a second
time, the position then changes.
¡If the TEMPO or TUNING has been changed, KEY control is not
available. Restore TEMPO and TUNING to the 0% position in order to
use KEY control.
¡Pressing the STOP button during the stop mode will reset the Key to
the 0.00 position.
