Very similar to MDS-JE530, but adds PS/2 keyboard connector (for titling), and CD-TEXT capability (via S-link).
Tips: (Courtesy Mitch P.) Many useful functions are available through the keyboard interface, e.g.:
Use the / ([forward]slash) key on the keyboard to divide the track and get a track mark. This nice feature also allows you to preview your "division" before actually doing so.
Push the - (minus) key on the keyboard to delete a track.
Pushing the "cntrl" and "enter" keys on the keyboard instantly puts the JE630 in synchro-record mode.
