be played is determined by the playback modes and
repeat settings and could be the same as the current
track.
Auto Cue
When enabled, entering the ready-to-play transport
state, or using the
SKIP
keys to move to a new track,
will cause the HD-R1 to cue up the track; that is, the
HD-R1 will look ahead for audio that exceeds the
given threshold and pause the transport at that point.

-72 dBFS
,
-66 dBFS

Off
disables the Auto Cue function. All other settings
(dBFS values) enable the Auto Cue function with
the selected value as the threshold at which the unit
recognizes the start of the sound. For example, if –36
dBFS is selected, the unit cues to the point in the track
just before a sound of at least –36 dBFS.
This is especially useful together with
Auto
Ready
, where the combination causes each track to
play, then automatically cue up the next track where
the audio passes the specified threshold level so that
it is waiting to be triggered (by the
PLAY
button) from
ready-to-play mode.

to recording. Settings are listed with their name on the
left side and current value on the right.
