12.  SETTING and STORING a CUE POINT:

Setting A Cue Point:

A cue point is the exact point playback will begin when the

 PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (11) 

is pressed. A cue point 

may be anywhere on a disc or in a track. You may set and store up to five independent cue points per disk. Ten 
cue points are stored in the

 BANK BUTTONS (1) 

and one in the

 IN REALTIME CUE BUTTON (24). 

Once a cue 

point is set it may be recalled at any time during normal playback. Figures 17 and 18 will detail the procedures 
for setting your custom cue points. There are two ways to set a CUE point:

 BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)

American Audio

  • Pro-DJ™ INSTRUCTION MANUAL • PAGE 17

1)  Press the

 IN REALTIME CUE BUTTON (7) 

on the fly (while a disc is playing). 

This will set a CUE Point without music interruption. Once this point is set, you 
may return to this point at any time by pressing the

 CUE BUTTON (9) OR BOP 

BUTTON( 12). 

Pressing the 

CUE BUTTON (9) 

will stop playback and return the 

disc in cue mode, pressing the 

RECALL BUTTON (3

) first and then pressing the 

BOP BUTTON (12) 

will return the disc to cue point without music interruption 

and continue playback from that point.

 

2)  The

 JOG WHEEL (6)

 may be used to set a cue point by frame. While a 

disc is in pause or cue mode, use the 

JOG WHEEL (6) 

to scroll through a 

track to find your desired starting point. Once you have found your desired 
cue point press the

 PLAY BUTTON (11)

 to enter this point in to the unit's 

memory.  At  this  point  pressing  either  the

  CUE  BUTTON  (9) 

or  the 

BOP 

BUTTON (12) 

will return you to this exact point. 

Storing A Cue Point:

 

Once you have set a cue point by one of the two means as detailed above, you may 

store this point in any one of the 

BANK BUTTONS (1).

 Once a cue point is stored in to memory it may be 

recalled at any time by pressing the cue button it was stored into. A cue point may even be recall if the disc 
has been remove or power had been disconnected. 

To Store a cue point:

1) Create a cue point, then press the

 MEMORY BUTTON (2),

 as in  

Figure 19. The yellow Memory LED will glow. This indicates a cue point 
is ready to be stored in to memory.
