P LAYING A P LAYLIST
Playing a Linear Playlist
Linear Playlist IDs are followed by an " L " in the display. All items in a Linear Playlist will play in
sequence without interruption.
Once you begin playback of a Linear Playlist, the current selection and its playing time will be shown
on the bottom line of the display.
Rotating cuts in a Linear Playlist will play only the next single event in rotation then wait for another
PLAY command before continuing.
Events in a Linear Playlist may be looped. By pressing LOOP during a particular event, that event
(only) will loop until looping is disabled, then the playlist will continue normally.
To cancel a playlist, press the STOP button once. The PLAY button will stop flashing, indicating that
cuts in the queue have been cancelled. DigiCart/E will continue to play the current cut to its end, then
stop.
Press the STOP button again to immediately cancel playback of the current cut.
Playing a Rotating Playlist
Rotating Playlist IDs are followed by the letter " R " (for Rotating) in the display. The PLAY
command will single-step through the list. Only the currently selected event in a Rotating Playlist will
play. Each time a Rotating Playlist receives a PLAY command, it will play the next event in the list,
then stop. If the Restart Mode is set to IMMEDIATE, then subsequent PLAY commands will interrupt
the current event and begin to play immediately.
Once you begin playback of a Rotating Playlist, the current selection and its playing time will be
shown on the bottom line of the display.
Events in a Rotating Playlist may be looped. By pressing LOOP during a particular event, that event
(only) will loop until looping is disabled, then the playlist will continue normally.
To reset the Playlist to any other selection, edit the Playlist and use SCAN. Upon power up, all
Rotating Playlists are reset to play the first event in the Playlist.
To cancel a playlist, press the STOP button once. The PLAY button will stop flashing, indicating that
cuts in the queue have been cancelled. DigiCart/E will continue to play the current cut to its end, then
stop.
Press the STOP button again to immediately cancel playback of the current cut.
V IEWING A P LAYLIST
To view the contents of the Play queue at any time, press VIEW LIST button and rotate select to see Playlist
items remaining to be played. Use the selection knob to scan the contents of the Playlist. The number at the
upper left of the display shows the event’s position in the Playlist. If the machine is currently playing, the
number at the upper left shows how far away the top line selection is from the item currently playing.
(Note: This only works for Linear Playlists and Quickstacks. In order to view the next cut in line for a
Rotary Playlist, go into the Edit menu, then play the Playlist. Once the first cut has finished, the name of
the next cut will appear on the top line of the display.)
