3 – Playback operations—CALL playback
3.4 CALL playback
The CALL keys (L and K) allow the unit’s play- back position to be returned to the point at which playback last started from pause mode. If there is no “call point” (i.e. playback starting from pause), pressing the CALL key will have no effect. It should also be noted that this call function is available in play and pause modes only.
Note that the call mode is not available when shuffle mode has been selected (see 3.1.3, “Playback modes”) and there is no “call point” set.
3.5 Auto Ready function
This function allows the playing back of a single track, and the automatic cueing of the next track ready for playback.
The unit is cued to the start of the track as determined by the subcode, not the start of the audio signal, unless the AUTO CUE function is on (see 3.6, “Auto Cue function”).
tion of the track as indicated by the subcode, but at the first position of the track where the audio level exceeds a set trigger level.
The trigger level is the same as the recording trigger level, as set in 4.3.1, “Synchronized recording”. Con- sult this section on how to set the trigger level.
To set the Auto Cue function on:
1Repeatedly press the MENU key (9 or 6) until the display shows A_CUE > XXX where XXX is either ON or OFF.

NOTE
When using the Auto Cue function, there may be a short “click” sound output through the DIGITAL COAXIAL and OPTICAL OUT terminals (X and Y) as the unit locates to the audible start of the track just before it enters pause mode. However, this sound will not be output through the DIGITAL AES/EBU OUT terminal W.
The unit will enter pause mode in the continue, shuf- fle and programmed play modes, after the location has taken place.
If repeat is active (see 3.3, “Repeat play”), the unit will enter play ready mode at the start of the next track (REPEAT ALL), or the start of the track which is being repeated (REPEAT 1).
To set the function:
1Repeatedly press the MENU key (9 or 6) until the display shows A_READY>XXX where XXX is either ON or OFF.
2Use the MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP keys H to set the function to ON.
When the function is on, the
3.6 Auto Cue function
The Auto Cue function allows you to set up the unit so that when a track is selected for playback in pause mode (cued), playback will start, not at the first posi-
3.7 Incremental play
Incremental playback means that when the STOP key G or I is pressed (or if a STOP signal is received through the CONTROL connector T) while a track is being played back, the playback position will be at the start of the next track.
If the PLAY key H is pressed while the incremental playback mode is on, playback starts from the start of the next track.
To set the incremental play mode on:
1Repeatedly press the MENU key (9 or 6) until the display shows INC PLAY>XXX where XXX is either ON or OFF.
2Use the MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP keys H to set the function to ON.
Although there is no indication when the incre- mental play mode is selected, you will notice that is in operation whenever you stop play- back of a track.
