3. STARTING PLAYBACK - Figure 11
Insert an audio CD as described on page 15 (LOADING/EJECTING DISCS).
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) with an audio CD loaded will imme-
diately start playback. The PLAY (42) indicator will glow as soon as playback
begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be
stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the
point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (20)
is pressed.
4. AUTO CUE
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a
CD is inserted. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If
a new track is selected before the PLAY BUTTON (17) is pressed, a new CUE
POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.
5. STOPPING PLAYBACK - Figures 10 & 11
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue
the track, this functions allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive mecha-
nism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the unit has gone in to sleep mode.
There are two ways to stop (pause) playback:
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) during playback. This will pause play-
back at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) was pressed.
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (20) during playback. This will pause playback and
return the track to the last set cue point.
6. PAUSING - Figure 10
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUT-
TON (17) was pressed.
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) will switch
between play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the PAUSE
INDICATOR (42) in the LCD DISPLAY (30) will glow. The green PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (17) LED will also begin to flash repeatedly.
7. FRAME SEARCH
This feature allows you to scroll through a track frame by frame, allowing you
to find and set a starting cue, sample, or loop point. To use the scroll function
you must first be in Pause Mode (see section 6) or Cue Mode (see section 5).
Once you are in Pause or Cue mode, turn the JOG WHEEL (13) to scroll through
the track (Figure 12). Turning the wheel in a clockwise direction will advance the
frame search and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction rewinds
the frame search. When you use the JOG WHEEL (13) the monitor (headphone
level) function allows you to here what you are scrolling through. Once you reach
your desired starting point you can set a cue (starting) point by pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) as in Figure 10. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (20) as
in Figure 11 will now return you to the point you just set.
