12. SETTING and STORING a CUE POINT:

Setting A Cue Point:

A cue point is the exact point playback will begin when the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (19) is pressed. A cue point may be anywhere on a disc or in a track. You may set and store up to five independent cue points per disk. Four cue points are stored in the CUE BUTTONS (6) and one in the IN REALTIME CUE BUTTON (24). Once a cue point is set it may be recalled at any time during normal playback. Figures 18 and 19 will detail the procedures for setting your custom cue points. There are two ways to set a CUE point:

1) Press the IN REALTIME CUE BUTTON (24) on the fly (while a disc is playing). This will set a CUE Point without music interruption. Once this point is set, you may return to this point at any time by pressing either the CUE BUTTON (17) or the BOP BUTTON (7). Pressing the CUE BUTTON (17) will stop playback and return the disc in cue mode, pressing the BOP BUTTON

(7) will return the disc to cue point without music interruption and continue playback from that point.

Figure 18

2) The JOG WHEEL (14) may be used to set a cue point by frame. While a disc is in pause or cue mode, use the JOG WHEEL (14) to scroll through a track to find your desired starting point. Once you have found your desired cue point press the PLAY BUTTON (19) to enter this point in to the unit's memory. At this point pressing either the CUE BUTTON (17) or the BOP BUTTON (7) will return you to this exact point.

Figure 19

Storing A Cue Point: Once you have set a cue point by one of the two means as detailed above, you may store this point in any one of the CUE BUTTONS (6). Once a cue point is stored in to memory it may be recalled at any time by pressing the cue button it was stored into. A cue point may even be recall if the disc has been remove or power had been disconnected. To Store a cue point:

1) Create a cue point, press the CUE MEMORY BUTTON (10), as in Figure 20. The yellow Cue Memory LED will glow. This indicates a cue point is ready to be stored in to memory.
