[NOTE]

•Cue points cannot be registered during online playback, in the online READY mode, or in the flash ready mode.

•When a cue point is already set, it will be overwritten by the new point.

•Cue points cannot be registered when other functions (e.g. index search, time search) that are used by numeric keys are ON.

zIf the CD-601MKII is turned OFF or the disc is removed, all preset cue points will be cleared.

If you save cue points to memory on the CD-601MKII as disc information, you can call them when you load the same disc later on. (→ page 23 “Saving Disc Information”)

The RCL indicator blinks to indicate that the current mode is the direct cue point locate mode.

2Press any one of the lit numeric keys.

The RCL key stays blinking after a numeric key is pressed to locate a cue point. In other words, the direct cue point locate mode is not canceled. For this reason, other cue points can be located afterwards simply by pressing a numeric key.

To cancel the direct cue point locate function, press the RCL key. (The indicator goes out.)
