FUNCTIONS USING MEMO (A, B) POINTS

Confirming the Audio of Memo Points (rehearsal)

You can confirm several times from point A or several seconds up to point B.

In other words, you can check how any section preset between points A and B starts and ends.

1While disc operations are stopped or in the monitor PAUSE mode, press the MEMO key to set the remote control unit to the memo mode. (The MEMO indicator lights.)

2Press the key (A or B) of the memo point to confirm.

The indicator corresponding to the key you pressed blinks, and the time of the memo point is displayed in the display window.

3Press the MONITOR key.

This starts rehearsal playback, and the MONITOR key blinks.

The length of the rehearsal playback time is the time (end check time) set at menu No. 12 (end check time setting). (→ page 26 “Checking the Ending of Tracks”)

Rehearsal operation differs according to the key (A or B) that you pressed in step 2.

A key:

Playback starts from point A and is performed for the preset end check time, and the remote control unit then enters the online READY mode at point A. When rehearsal playback ends, the A indicator stops blinking and lights.

B key:

Playback starts from before point B for the preset end check time, and is performed up to point B, and then the remote control unit enters the online READY mode at point A. When rehearsal playback ends, the B indicator stops blinking and lights.

Playing Back from Point A

When only point A is set, and monitor playback or online playback is performed in the memo mode (while the MEMO indicator is lit), playback is started from point A.

In the regular playback (all tunes playback) mode, playback is performed up to the end of the disc, and in the single playback mode, playback is performed up to the end of the current track.

Playing Back up to Point B

When only point B is set, and monitor playback or online playback is performed in the memo mode (while the MEMO indicator is lit), playback is performed up to point B and then stops.

[NOTE]

•When a track other than the track including point B is played back in the single playback mode, single playback is performed regardless of point B.

Playing between Points A and B

When both points A and B are set, and monitor playback or online playback is performed in the memo mode (MEMO indicator is lit), the section between point A and B is played back. The states after playback ends are as follows:

After monitor playback:

The remote control unit enters the online READY mode or monitor PAUSE mode according to the auto cue up setting.

After online playback:

Disc operations stop.

Repeat Playing between Points A and B

The section between points A and B can be repeatedly played back by combining the memo mode and the repeat mode. (→ page 18 “Repeat Function”)

The following operation assumes that both points A and B are set in advance.

1While disc operations are stopped, use the PLAY MODE key to set the remote control unit to the regular playback (all tunes playback) mode.

2Press the REPEAT key to turn the repeat function ON/ OFF. When the repeat function is ON, the indicator on the REPEAT keytop lights, and “REPEAT” is displayed at the bottom left of the display window.

3Use the MEMO key to set the remote control unit to the memo mode. (The MEMO indicator lights.)

4Press the MONITOR key or ON LINE key to perform monitor playback or online playback.

This starts repeat playback between points A and B.

[NOTE]

•Repeat playback between points A and B is not possible in the single playback mode. When the above operation is performed, playback returns to point A after step 4, and the remote control unit enters the monitor PAUSE or online READY mode.
