BASIC OPERATIONS
Online Playback and Monitor Playback
The CD-601MKII has two playback modes, online playback
and monitor playback. The output destination in each of
these playback modes can be set individually.
For example, in sites such as broadcasts and events,
the monitor playback mode can be used to cue tracks or
playback points before the final take, and then the remote
control unit can be set to online standby (READY), and
online playback can be performed from that point at the time
of the final take.
On this remote control unit, the UNBALANCED analog
output terminal and SPDIF digital output terminal are
positioned as terminals for monitor output, and the
BALANCED analog output terminal and AES/EBU digital
output terminal are positioned as terminals for online output.
Note, however, that in the default setting both the monitor
playback signal and the online playback signal are output in
the same way from all analog/digital output terminals.
