Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the PSD340 Music
Practice CD Recording System. The PSD340 is a combina-
tion CD player and CD recorder with special features
designed for music teachers, choral directors, vocalists,
musicians and sound engineers. Tune up, practice to the
metronome, control the playback of CDs and MP3 files
for custom accompaniment, and record directly to CD.
It’s convenient and easy with the PSD340.
Features for Music Practice
• Change the key of a song without affecting tempo
(± one octave in half steps or finer increments)
• Change the tempo of a song without affecting
musical pitch (-75% to +50%)
• Change key and tempo simultaneously
• Select A-B (Point A to Point B) repeat loops
• Reduce lead vocals from stereo recordings
• Use built-in metronome
• Use built-in chromatic tuner and 440Hz tone
• Play and manipulate MP3 audio files on a CD-R or
CD-RW disc
• CD-G graphics output (with optional decoder)
Recording Features
• Direct recording to CD-R (write once) or CD-RW
(rewritable) discs
• Recording of music manipulations such as key or
tempo changes
• Built-in microphone preamplifiers
• Built-in condenser microphone
• Automatic Rec Level Control for “worry free” recording
• Record-Review which allows immediate playback of
the last track recorded
• Mixing of CD or CD-MP3 (MP3 files on a disc)
accompaniment with mic or instrument input
• Independent operation of the CD recording drive
and CD player drive. Audio from the CD player can
be mixed with other sources, processed, and routed
back to the CD recording drive through the DIGITAL IN
Recommended Media
The PSD340 will record on computer CD-R or CD-RW
data discs as well as “Music CD-R” discs. The most
important factor in choosing CD-R or CD-RW media is a
1X speed rating. Choose brand name discs that are
rated 1X (e.g. 1X - 40X) or imply 1X (e.g., “up to
40X”). We do not recommend using generic discs with
the PSD340. If possible, test any brand before buying in
bulk.

Internal Microphone
1. Set the Right LINE/MIC/INT MIC switch to “INT MIC.”
2. When “INT MIC” is selected, both the left level
control and the right level controls are active. Adjust
both left and right level controls to determine how
much signal is sent to either channel.
3. When using the INTERNAL MIC, it is recommended
that the SPEAKER switch be turned OFF. If you need
to monitor the incoming sound, use headphones.
Using headphones avoids feedback--the nasty squeal
that is heard when the mic picks up sound from the
speaker and amplifies it, creating a feedback loop.
Using the remote will also ensure that the INTERNAL
MIC will not pick up the sound of any buttons being
depressed.
4. See Setting Levels sidebar on this page.
Instruments
1. Set the Left LINE/MIC/INST switch to “INST.”
2. Plug an instrument into the Left 1/4” front panel
input.
3. Set the Right LINE/MIC/INT MIC switch to “LINE.”
4. See Setting Levels sidebar on this page.
Setting Levels
If you are setting levels while using the CD
recorder drive, make sure to press RECORD
first. This will place the unit in record pause
mode. You may set levels at any time during
CD player operation. As you sing or play your
instrument, turn the Left and Right input-level
control knobs clockwise while observing the
display VU meters. When your performance is
at its loudest, the VU meter should read close
to 0 dB without going into the red zone. If
the meter consistantly bounces into the red,
adjust the level control knob counter clock-
wise to reduce the level. If your mics have
higher than normal output, try switching the
ALC/ATT switch to -15dB. Peaking at 0 dB will
provide the greatest dynamic range while
avoiding distortion.
Line Level Sources
1. Set the Left LINE/MIC/INST switch to “LINE” and set
the Right LINE/MIC/INT MIC switch to “LINE.”
2. Line level equipment can be connected to the front
panel Right and Left inputs ... OR ... to the rear panel
RCA AUX inputs. Note: When connecting an auxil-
iary source into the rear panel AUX inputs, you can
adjust the signal input level using the AUX IN control
on the rear panel. Use the front panel inputs for
individual control of Right and Left input levels.

How to Use the Tuner
The PSD340 has two modes for tuning your instrument,
Chromatic Tuner or 440Hz Tuning Tone.
Using the Chromatic Tuner
The PSD340 Chromatic Tuner will pick up monophonic
signals from the Left Mic/Line/Inst input, the Right Mic/
Line input or the internal mic. The musical note corre-
sponding to the incoming frequency is displayed in
concert pitch as natural (no indication) or sharp (#). The
Tuner operates on a wide range of pitches from A0 to
C8. The CD and CD-R must be in Stop Mode for the
Tuner to operate.
1. Press the TUNER button.
2. Turn the SELECT Jog Wheel until the display reads
“Chromatic.” Press the SELECT Jog Wheel to accept
this selection. The chromatic tuner display will
appear.
3. Play a note on your instrument and watch, as the
unit will display the closest musical pitch.
4. Adjust the pitch of your instrument until the square
indicator is in the center box. Right (sharp) or left
(flat) arrows indicate an out of tune condition.
5. Press the TUNER button to exit the Tuner.
How to Use the 440Hz Tuning Tone
1. Press the TUNER button.
2. If the display reads, “Chromatic”,turn the SELECT jog
wheel until the display reads “Tuner Tone.”
3. Press the SELECT jog wheel to accept change. A
440Hz tone will sound in the speaker, headphones,

How to Use the Metronome
The sound of the metronome will be output through the
Line Out. When using the PSD340 with a separate
amplifier or powered speakers (pg. 11), it may be best
to turn down the LINE OUT level control knob on the
front panel before starting the metronome and then
turn the LINE OUT level control up to an appropriate
listening level. If the PHONE SELECTOR knob is set for
LINE OUT, the metronome will also be heard in the
speakers and headphones. Therefore, you may also want
to turn the PHONE/SPEAKER LEVEL knob down before
starting the metronome and then turn the PHONE/
SPEAKER LEVEL up to an appropriate listening level.
The METRONOME has four adjustable parameters,
• Tempo
• Metronome Volume
• Accent Beat
• Accent Beat Level
Tempo and Metronome Volume
1. Press the METRONOME (METRO) button. The
metronome will start “clicking” and the tempo will
be displayed.
2. To change the tempo, press the SELECT jog wheel.
The tempo will start to blink. Turn the SELECT jog
wheel to adjust the tempo. Press the SELECT jog
wheel to accept the change or wait 10 seconds and
the PSD340 will automatically accept it.
3. The display will now show the new tempo. To adjust
the metronome volume, turn the SELECT control
until the display shows the current metronome
volume setting.
4. Press the SELECT jog wheel. The metronome volume
will start to blink.
5. Turn the SELECT jog wheel to adjust metronome
volume. Then press the SELECT jog wheel to accept
the change.
6. Press the METRONOME button to stop the metronome.
Accent Beat and Accent Beat Levels
By designating a particular beat to play louder than
others, the PSD340 metronome is able to imply different
rhythmic meters. For instance, setting the Accent Beat
to 3 will cause every third beat to sound louder than the
other two. At moderate tempos, this will create a Waltz
feel. Adjusting the Accent Beat volume will determine
how much louder the Accent Beat will sound over the
non-accented beats.
Follow these steps for adjusting Accent Beat and Accent
Beat volume:
1. Press the METRO button. The metronome will start
“clicking” and the tempo will be displayed.
2. Turn the SELECT jog wheel until the display shows
the current Accent Beat setting. Press the SELECT jog
wheel to enter.
3. The Accent Beat value (abbreviated as ACENT)
should be flashing. Turn the SELECT jog wheel to
change the Accent Beat. The Accent Beat is adjust-
able from 1-6 or turned OFF for no accent. Press the
SELECT jog wheel to enter the change.
4. The display will now show the new Accent Beat.
Turn the SELECT jog wheel until the display shows
the current Accent Volume setting. Press the SELECT
jog wheel to enter.
5. The current Accent Volume will be flashing. Turn the
SELECT jog wheel to adjust the Accent Volume. Press
the SELECT jog wheel to enter.
The display will show the new Accent Volume. After
10 seconds, the unit will return to the main metro-

NOTE: For the Accent Beat to be heard, the Accent
Beat Volume must be higher than the Metronome
Volume level. The PSD340 automatically adjusts the
Accent Beat to a higher level than the Metronome
Volume. However, you can adjust the volume
difference by either increasing the Accent Beat
Volume level or decreasing the Metronome Volume
level.

Playing a CD
When placing a CD in the CD player drive, be sure to
firmly push the CD onto the drive spindle so the CD snaps
into the place and doesn’t wobble. When you close the
drive lid, after a moment the display will show the total
number of tracks and total playing time on the CD.
NOTE: You can always tell which drive is active (the CD
player or CD recorder) by which set of control buttons
are lit. You can change the active drive by pressing the
SELECT jog wheel or pressing the Stop button of the
drive to be activated.
In Play mode, change tracks by turning the SELECT jog
wheel.
Selecting A-B Practice Loops
When practicing with a CD audio track in either drive, it
is easy to continuously loop a section of music. Here are
the steps:
1. While a CD is playing, press the A-B button when
playback reaches the beginning of the segment you
want to repeat (A point).
2. Press the A-B button again when playback reaches
the end of the segment you want to repeat (B point).
Playback will automatically start again from the A
point when the B point is reached.
ALTERING THE AB LOOP
1. You can make the B point the A point of the next
loop by pressing the A-B button again. Let playback
continue until you reach the end of the next segment
you wish to loop, then press the A-B button again. In
this way, you can select loops and step through an
entire song.

2. At any time before or after you select an A-B loop,
you can also use the other music practice features
such as Key and Tempo changing.
3. To keep the A point but extend the loop to a new B
point, press and hold the A-B button for one second.
Press the A-B button again to set a new B point,
while keeping the A point.
Changing Key & Tempo
The CD player drive allows control of key (musical pitch)
and tempo of any CD or MP3 file on CD.
Changing Key
KEY control can change a music
CD or MP3 on disc as much as an
octave up or down. Press either
of the Key Change buttons once
to start key control.
The KEY control system works on the following musical
principles:
100 cents = 1 half step
2 half steps = 1 whole step
12 half steps = 1 octave
There are two key change methods available, depending
on how long you hold down the buttons.
Half Step Method: When playing a CD, press and hold
to decrease or increase the key in half step increments.
The display will read whole integers for each half step.
(For example,1.00 = 1 half step)
12.5 Cent Increment Method. If Key control is active,
and you press or without holding, the key will
change by 12.5 cent increments. The display shows the
increment rounded to 0.13 cents. (For example, 1.13 =
1 half step + 12.5 cents).
• Press both the and buttons at the same time to
return to the original Key position (0.00).
• If the or the buttons are pressed while another
display (such as CD-TEXT) is shown, the current
position of the KEY control is shown first. Once one
of the or buttons are pressed a second time
the Key changes.
• Once the Key has been adjusted by pressing either
the or button, it is possible to also adjust the
tempo (CD or MP3 on disc playback speed). For a
Key adjustment in the range of ±5.00 half steps or
less, the Tempo can also be adjusted -50% to +50%.
• Pressing the STOP button during stop mode will reset
the Key to the 0.00 position.
KEY
- 15 -

TEMPO control
TEMPO can be changed as much
as +50% to -75%.
• Pressing the “+” button
increases the speed in incre-
ments of 1%.
• Pressing the “-” button decreases the tempo in steps
of 1%.
• Holding down either a “+” or a “-” button causes
the tempo adjustment to change in 5% increments.
Pressing both the “+” and “-” buttons at the same
time returns the TEMPO to 0% (original tempo).
Fine Tuning
Once the Tempo has been adjusted by pressing either
the “-” or “+” button, it is possible to also “fine tune”
the key (musical pitch). Fine tuning is useful when
practicing an instrument because it lets you adjust the
music practice source (CD drive only) to your instru-
ment. (+/- 2% maximum adjustment.)
After the desired tempo change has been made, press
to lower the key (musical pitch) or to raise it.
The button lowers the tuning in 0.1% increments
and is displayed as a whole number with a “-” sign. For
example, to lower the tuning by 0.8% the display
should read “TUNING -0.8”.
The button raises the tuning in 0.1% increments and
is displayed as a whole number with a “+” sign. For
example, to raise the tuning of the CD or MP3 by 1.5%
the display should read “TUNING + 1.5.”
Voice Reduction
In most commercial recordings, prominent elements
such as lead vocals are mixed in the center of the stereo
field (equal amounts on the right and the left channel).
With this in mind, the VR feature is able to reduce the
relative volume of lead vocals by cancelling certain
elements in the center channel. This is useful for
vocalists who want to blend their voices with a stereo
recording containing prerecorded lead vocals.
NOTE: The results of this feature will vary. VR will be less
TEMPO
effective if the lead vocal in the recording was not
originally mixed in the center of the stereo field or if a
considerable amount of stereo processing such as reverb
and delay has been added to the lead vocal track.
While the CD player drive is playing or paused, press the
VR button. The display will show the VR status.
Pressing the VR button again switches the status of
voice reduction. When voice reduction is ON, VR is
displayed during play.

If your Key adjustment is greater than 5.00 half steps,
then no tempo adjustment can be made. To adjust both
Key and Tempo, you must first adjust Key and then
adjust Tempo. Adjusting Tempo first will turn on the Fine
Tune feature.
NOTE: A-B Looping, Key, Tempo and Voice Reduction
can only be applied to the CD being played in the top
CD player drive.
When Voice Reduction is ON, the OUTPUT EQ feature
will be not be available in the menu.

Making a Live Recording
We realize that one of the primary reasons you pur-
chased a PSD340 is to record live to CD. That’s why
we’ve made the recording process as direct as possible.
It shouldn’t take long from the time you open the box
to the time you record your first CD. Just follow these
simple steps:
1. Insert a disc. The
PSD340 can record
onto any 1X or 2X
compatible CD-R (write
once), or CD-RW
(rewritable) disc. Just
make sure you place
the disc in the CD
recording drive and not the
CD player drive on top!
2. Connect your equipment. If you’ve already set up
the PSD340 for practice, you may be ready to move
on. If not, see pages 11-12 for setting up micro-
phones, instruments and line level sources.
3. Set the INPUT switch to “ANALOG.” This switch is
located above the CD recording drive. The INPUT
switch tells the PSD340 what type of signal it will be
recording. Microphones, instruments, and most
mixers are analog sources. Don’t let this switch
confuse you. Even though you are making a digital
CD recording, input sources are typically analog. The
only time you would set this switch to DIGITAL, is if
you were recording from the rear panel digital input.
(see sidebar pg. 18)
4. Press the RECORD button. The
first time you press RECORD, the
PSD340 enters ‘Record Pause
Mode.’ In this mode, you will now
be able to adjust the Record
Levels.
5. Set your record levels. After a moment, the display
will now prompt you to ‘Push Rec Key.’ But, you may
want to first adjust your record levels. The overall
record level is set by turning the SELECT jog wheel
control. This level is adjustable from -78dB to +6dB.
While monitoring record levels, we recommend using
headphones. This helps to eliminate feedback. (See
pg.12 for advice on how to set up the PSD340 to
record optimal levels.)
Recording 6. Press RECORD again. You are now recording. The
level meters should respond to your Input signals
(mics, instruments, etc.) and the counter should
display the total elapsed time for the track you are
recording. The red dot and triangular “PLAY” icon in
the display indicate that a recording is in progress.
Press STOP to end the recording or
press the REC REVIEW button on
the unit or remote to listen back
to the most recent track recorded.
(See PLAY Controls pg. 7, [5].)
This CD will playback in the CD recording drive or the
CD player drive. To playback this CD in other standard
CD players, proceed to HOW TO FINALIZE (pg.21).
TIP: For standard stereo recording, make sure the
MIC/LINE SPLIT switch is set for STEREO. This
ensures that the left input is recorded to the left
channel and the right input is recorded to the
right channel. For MIC/LINE SPLIT/STEREO/MIX
switch operation. (See pg. 8).
Independent Drive Operation
When you turn on the PSD340, by default the CD
recording drive will operate independently from the CD
playback drive. This allows you to start and stop either
the CD player or CD recorder at any time during the
recording process. When the INPUT ANALOG/DIGITAL
switch is in the ANALOG position, the CD player audio
will be channeled to the CD-R drive.
Track Increments
Creating New Tracks Manually
Every time you press STOP or PAUSE during the record-
ing process, you will create a new track. To create new
tracks during recording, press the TR INC button on the
top panel or the IR remote. You can create up to 99
tracks on a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Auto Track Mode
When copying prerecorded material from external
sources, tracks can be set automatically by using AUTO
TRACK Mode. Press the MENU/STORE button and select
“AUTO TRACK.” Change the AUTO TRACK status to

Certain mixers and outboard effects processors are
equipped with digital outputs. If you are recording with
equipment that has a coaxial digital output, connect to
the PSD340’s DIGITAL IN. Follow the same recording
steps from pg. 17, with the exception of step #3.
When recording digital equipment, set the Input switch
to “DIGITAL.”
Adding Reverb or Delay
You can add a reverb or a delay effect to either input
(right or left) on the front panel and the AUX IN. The
PSD340 provides three effects presets: ROOM REVERB,
HALL REVERB, and DELAY. Only one preset can be
used at a time. After an effect preset is selected, you
are then able to determine how much of the effect
you want in each channel. This is known as the MIX
parameter. Reverb cannot be added to recorded tracks.
1. Press the REV/DLY button.
2. Turn effects ON. The display should read “REV/
DELAY OFF”. Turn the SELECT jog wheel to change
the display to “REV/DELAY ON.” Press the SELECT jog
wheel to enter.
3. Select an effect preset. As you turn the SELECT jog
wheel, the display should indicate the different preset
options, REVERB ROOM, REVERB HALL, and DELAY.
Press the SELECT jog wheel to choose a preset.
If you find the sound of the effect to be appropriate,
press the REV/DLY to exit the effects menu and continue
practicing or recording. If you would like to fine tune
certain parameters, proceed to the following section.
4. Adjust the Delay Time. If you have chosen REVERB
ROOM OR REVERB HALL, skip to step #5. If you have
chosen DELAY, you will now be able to adjust delay
time. When the display reads “DELAY TIME,” press
the SELECT jog wheel. The actual delay time value is
now displayed in milliseconds and should be blinking.
The PSD340 is capable of producing delay times up to
1 second. Turn the SELECT jog wheel to adjust the
delay time and press the SELECT jog wheel to enter
the change.
5. Adjust the MIX levels. For each preset, the PSD340
has default MIX settings designed to provide a moder-
ate blend of processed and unprocessed sound. If you
would like to hear more or less Reverb or Delay in
either the right or left channel, adjust the MIX levels.
Here’s how:
a. After completing steps 1-4, the display will read
“MIX LEFT.” Press the SELECT jog wheel to accept.
b. The MIX percentage is now flashing. Turn the
SELECT jog wheel to adjust the MIX level. As you
turn the SELECT jog wheel, you should be able to
hear the change in MIX level. Press the SELECT jog
wheel to accept your setting. The display should
read “MIX LEFT.”
c. If you do not need to adjust the RIGHT MIX level,
press the REV/DLY button to return to the CD
display. If you do need to adjust it, turn the SELECT
jog wheel to change the display to “MIX RIGHT”
and press the SELECT jog wheel to accept.
d. The MIX percentage is now flashing. Turn the
SELECT jog wheel to adjust the RIGHT MIX level.
Press the SELECT jog wheel to accept your setting.
e. Press the REV/DLY button to return to the CD display.
Here’s how the MIX function works.
• A MIX setting of 100% means that all audio is
processed through the Reverb/Delay effect.

ON by turning the SELECT jog wheel. Press it to accept
the change. Press the MENU/STORE button to exit and
proceed with recording. The unit will then increment
tracks when audio falls below a threshold of silence (-
40dB) for a minimum of three seconds.
Minute Track Mode
MINUTE TRACK will automatically create a track incre-
ment every minute during recording. That means each
track is one minute long, offering a quick and conve-
nient way to locate a particular time in a recording. For
example, Track 10 is ten minutes into the recording, and
Track 17 is 17 minutes into the recording.
To access this mode press the MENU/STORE button, then
select “AutoTrack.” Select “MIN” and press ENTER.
