One octave equals 12 steps.

repeatedly until "Pitch" appears in the display.

Notes
• When you change the step value, the playback sound drops out
». momentarily.
• The step value returns to "0" (factory setting) when you turn
off the deck or eject the MD.
• When a dot (.) appears to the right of the step value in the pitch
display, this indicates that you have performed fine adjustment
(see the next page) and the pitch value is between steps. (The
step and fine control values are linked.)
