serato started speeding up

Dj rick1013 6:19 AM - 19 February, 2011
Hey guys just home from a gig the night went great until about a half hour before the party.My partner was Djing and we use the ttm57 and 2 denon 3500's
when he stopped Djing I took over I put on my first song and it was going full speed ,the pitch slider was in the midddle but it was going fullspeed +17 or whatever no matter what I did it would not slow down if I hit the pitch push button it would slow down but as soon as I let it go it would speed up again . so i thought I would switch sides and turn the one on and off and reset it well the other one was doing the same thing So something had to be hit on either serato or the laptop to make it do that is it possible
'I notice this if I have the key adj on the song plays fine but I cannot adjust the pitch If I push the button and the key adj light goes offit starts to speed up again ,If I turn off the spinning platter it plays fine turn on the spin it is super speed ,I have NOT IDEA what happpen just that it happen all of the sudden and to both denon 3500's so I am thinking something got hit to change both sides any one have any idea

Check that you had the right speed selected on the virtual deck (33/45) usually this is the cause of this problem.

That was one gigantic run-on sentence. You sure you're not the one on speed, rick? :)

this is a well known bug with the denon 3500 an im not sure if it has ever been fixed. i have seen it personally. i believe the problem comes from over heating and/or the need for a firmware update. So update firmware. if it continues take out of cases to reduce heat build up.
