BASIC OPERATION

7. AUTO CUE

”Cueing” is the action of preparing for playback. When the unit is in cue mode the CUE LED (15) will flash repeatedly. The unit is designed to automatically cue at the first audible signal on the first of a disc when a disc is inserted. If a track is selected before a disc is inserted, the unit will automatically cue to the first audible signal for the selected track.

8. FRAME SEARCH

This feature allows you to scroll through a track to set a cue, or loop point. To use the scroll function you must first be in Pause Mode or Cue Mode. Once you are in Pause or Cue mode, use your finger tip to turn the JOG WHEEL (13) to scroll through the track (figure 9). Turning the wheel in a clockwise direc- tion will advance the frame search and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction rewinds the frame search. When you use the JOG WHEEL (13) the monitor (headphone level) of a mixer allows you to here 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 (18) as in figure 9. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (16) will return the disc to the cue point just set.
