Quick Start Guide
»
This Quick Start Guide describes the basic operation of the
CD-601MKII CD player.
By connecting the RC-601MKII remote control unit
to the CD-601MKII, you can enhance the functions.
However, you can carry out the basic operation from the
CD-601MKII panel.
About the "Online" and "Monitor"
playback
The CD-601MKII provides two different playback
conditions: "online" and "monitor" playback.
According to our basic design concept, online playback is
used for on-the-air or an actual performance, while monitor
playback is used for cueing or checking audio before online
playback.
The
BALANCED
analog and
AES/EBU
digital outputs
are designed for online playback outputs, while the
UNBALANCED
analog and
SPDIF
digital outputs are
originally designed for monitor playback outputs.
However, by default, both online and monitor playback
signals are output from all the CD-601MKII outputs. Using
the menu system, you can make the on-line playback
signals to be output from the
BALANCED
analog and
AES/EBU
digital outputs only, and/or make the monitor
playback signals to be output from the
UNBALANCED
analog and
SPDIF
digital outputs only.
Playback and pause keys for
"online" and "monitor" playback
The CD-601MKII, as well as the RC-601MKII, provides
independent keys for "online" and "monitor" playback.
For Monitor playback
On the CD-601MKII, use the
PLAY/PAUSE
key for
playback or pause (pressing the key alternates between
these conditions).
On the RC-601MKII, use the
MONITOR
key for playback
and the
PAUSE
key for pause.
For Online playback
Use the
ON LINE
key for playback and the
READY
key
for pause (both the CD-601MKI and RC-601MKII provide
these keys).
• You can start "online" playback only when the
CD-601MKII is "READY" (unless you turn off the fail
safe mode via the menu system).
• You can stop "online" playback only by pressing the
STOP
key.
The point to which the CD-601MKII locates when pressing
the
READY
key depends on the current transport status.
• While monitor-paused: the current point
• While stopped or monitor-playing: The point where you
started monitor playback from monitor-pause status most
recently.
