TASCAM CD-500/500B

This chapter explains the various playback functions of 

the unit.

Auto-cue function 

If the auto-cue function is on and you select a track to 

play, any silence at the beginning of the track will be 

skipped, and the player will pause at the instant when a 

sound signal is first detected. This means that sound can 

be heard immediately when playback starts.

NOTE

When the flash start function is used for playback, the 

• 

auto-cue function is disabled. 
If the auto-cue function is on and a track is selected 

• 

during playback, that track will play back from the 

instant that sound begins in the selected track. If the 

auto-cue function is on and a track is selected when 

paused, the player will pause at the instant that sound 

begins in the selected track.

Moreover, you can set the audio signal detection 

threshold level (auto-cue level) that is used by the auto-

cue function. Any signal higher than the set auto cue level 

will be recognized as “sound,” and any signal lower than 

this level will be treated as “silence.”
The following procedure describes how to use the menu 

to turn the auto-cue function on/off and adjust the auto-

cue level setting. (For details about using the menu 

screen, refer to the “Menu operation basics” on page 19.) 

Turning the auto-cue function on/off 

 

ª

Using the front panel buttons: 

When in shift mode (

SHIFT

 indicator lit), press the 

SEARCH

 

Ô

 

[A.CUE]

 button to turn it on/off. 

Using the remote control: 

Press the 

A.CUE/DEL

 button to turn it on/off. 

When the auto-cue function is on, 

A.CUE

 appears in the 

lower part of the display. 

NOTE

The auto-cue function on/off setting is retained even 

when the power is turned off. 

Setting the auto-cue level

To set the auto-cue function trigger level (auto-cue level), 

use the 

03 A-CUE

 menu item. 

Options: 

24

 (default value), 

30

36

42

48

54

60

66

72

These values represent auto-cue levels in dB. The point 

when the signal level of the selected track first exceeds 

the auto-cue level is recognized as the instant when 

sound starts. 

NOTE

The auto-cue level setting is retained even when the 

power is turned off. 

Auto-ready function 

If the auto-ready function is on, after a track has finished 

playing, playback will pause at the beginning of the next 

track.

NOTE

If the auto-cue function is also on, playback will pause 

• 

at the instant when sound starts rather than at the 

beginning of the track. 
When using the flash start function for playback, the 

• 

auto-ready function is disabled. 

Turning the auto-ready function on/off 

 

ª

Using the front panel buttons: 

When in shift mode (

SHIFT

 indicator lit), press the 

SEARCH

 

 button to turn it on/off. 

Using the remote control: 

Press the 

A.RDY/INS

 button to turn it on/off. 

When the auto-ready function is on, 

A.RDY

 appears in 

the lower part of the display. 

NOTE

The auto-ready function on/off setting is retained even 

when the power is turned off. 

Resume function

When the resume function is on, the position where 

playback stops is memorized. When playback is started 

again playback resumes from that position. When this 

function is used with a data CD, however, playback 

resumes from the beginning of the track that was playing 

when playback was stopped.
To turn the resume function on/off, use the 

09 RESUM

 

menu item (default value: 

OFF

). 

When the resume function is on, 

RESUME

 appears in the 

lower part of the display.
