Lead In — The first few Rounds of the Record
► Dropping the needle into the Lead In Zone of the record will skip to the beginning of
the track in Absolute mode.
► If you turned on the respective option in the Preferences, you can use this to skip back
to the beginning of a track when playing in the Relative Tracking mode — the tracking
mode jumps to Absolute mode, making needle drops again possible.
Playback Zone — Main Part of the Record
▪ This is subdivided into 10 minute spaced markers on side A and 15 minute spaced
markers on side B. The divisions are just for visual reference of time and do not affect
the continuous playback of the loaded track.
▪ This zone is used for regular playback.
TRAKTOR will switch to Internal mode when reaching the end groove in vinyl.
Scroll Zone — Last two Tracks of the Record.
► Dropping the needle in the Scroll Zone allows you to scroll up and down through your
Playlist by manually spinning the record forward or backward if the option Use Playlist scroll
ing zone in Preferences > Timecode Setup is chosen.
► Whenever you stop the movement of the record, the respective track gets loaded.
► To play the selected track, simply place the tone arm back into the Playback Zone.
If your track exceeds the 10 minute Playback Zone it will continue playing normally in the
Scroll Zone — you have to lift and drop the needle again to stop the playback and switch to
Scroll Mode. Even if you reach the end of the record, the track will continue to play as there
is an endless groove at the end of the record!
