3. STARTING PLAYBACK -
Figure 10
Insert an audio CD as describe on page 15
(
LOADING/EJECTING DISCS
).
Pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (15)
with an audio CD inserted will imme-
diately start playback. The
PLAY (37)
indicator will glow as soon as playback
begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be stored
in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at
which playback started) when the
CUE BUTTON (17)
is pressed.
4. AUTO CUE
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a CD
is inserted. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new
track is selected before the
PLAY BUTTON (15)
is pressed, a new CUE POINT will
be set to reflect the new starting point.
5.
STOPPING PLAYBACK -
Figures 10 & 11
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue
the track, this functions allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive mecha-
nism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the unit has gone in to sleep mode. There
are two ways to stop (pause) playback:
1) Press the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (15)
during playback. This will pause play-
back at the exact same point the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (15)
was pressed.
2) Press the
CUE BUTTON (17)
during playback. This will pause playback and
return the track to the last set cue point.

PAUSING -
Figure 10
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(15)
was pressed.
Pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (15)
will switch between
play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the
PAUSE INDICATOR
(37)
will show in the
LCD DISPLAY (26)
. The green
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (15)
LED will also begin to flash repeatedly.
7.
FRAME SEARCH
This feature allows you to scroll through a track frame by frame, allowing you to
find and set a starting cue, sample, or loop point. To use the scroll function you
must first be in Pause Mode (see section 6) or Cue Mode (see section 9). Once
you are in Pause or Cue mode, turn the
JOG WHEEL (10)
to scroll through the
track (Figure 13). Turning the wheel in a clockwise direction will advance the
frame search and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction rewinds the
frame search. When you use the
JOG WHEEL (10)
the monitor (headphone level)
function allows you to hear what you are scrolling through. Once you reach your
desired starting point you can set a cue (starting) point by pressing the
PLAY/
PAUSE BUTTON (15)
as in Figure 10. Pressing the
CUE BUTTON (17)
as in Figure
11 will now return you to the point you just set.
