<

  Connect the RCA outputs to an amplifier or mixer.

2.  Use the [MENU] button and [NAV] wheel to navigate to the “Files” menu.
3.  Use the [NAV] buttons to select a file to play.  Press in on the [NAV] wheel to 

begin playback 

of the current file.

 The triangle in the upper-left corner of the screen shows that the MicroTrack 24/96 
is playing a file. The file being played is “file001.mp3.” The numbers in the lower-left 
corner show that this is file 1 of 142 files on the media. The lower-right corner shows 
the current play time and the current file length.

4.  While an audio file is playing, you can:

 

<

  adjust the volume using the [VOLUME] button.

 

<

  pause playback by pressing in on the [NAV] wheel. Press in again to resume playback.

 

<

  fast-forward through the file by holding up the [NAV] wheel.

 

<

   rewind the file by holding down the [NAV] wheel.  If you are within the first three seconds of a file, pressing down will skip back 

to the previous file.

 

<

Loop Playback

The MicroTrack 24/96 will allow you to loop a section of an audio file. This can be useful when practicing parts or studying dictation. The 
method for looping a file requires setting a start and end point, and is accomplished as follows:

1.  To engage Loop Playback, press and hold the [MENU] button for over 2 seconds while the file is playing.
2.  Press the [MENU] button once when you reach the start point of the loop.
3.  Press the [MENU] button a second time when you reach the end point of your loop. The section will begin to loop immediately.
4.  Pressing the [MENU] button a third time will exit loop mode.

While using the Loop Playback mode, you will not be able to skip to other files using the up and down action of the [NAV] wheel. You 
will only be able to fast-forward or rewind the current file by holding the [NAV] wheel in your desired direction.
