A cue point is the exact point playback will begin when the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (18) is pressed. A cue point may be created anywhere on a disc or in a track.

Use the JOG WHEEL (13) to set a cue point by frame. While the disc is in pause or cue mode, use the JOG WHEEL (13) to scroll through a track to find your desired starting point. Once you have found your desired cue point press the PLAY BUTTON (18) to enter this point in to the unit's memory. At this point when ever the CUE BUTTON (16) is pressed it will return the track to this exact point.
