3.7 EOM disc

EOM DISC ?

This menu item affects the output of the MD-801 to a device attached to the parallel port (see 7.1, "REMOTE (PARALLEL) connector". When set on, an “EOM DISC” tally signal is transmitted from the parallel port when the end of the disc is reached in playback (or recording, in the case of the MD-801R).

When this message is transmitted, the E O M indicator flashes in the display.

In this menu, it is possible to select how many sec- onds before the end of the disc this message is to be sent, or to turn the message off completely. The default setting is off.

After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE wheel, the display changes:

EOM DISC>OFF

The time may be set from 1 to 99 seconds, in 1 sec- ond steps, or set to off.

3.9 Timer-controlled playback

TIMER PLAY ?

When this function is enabled, if a disc is in the unit, and the unit is powered up (e.g. from a timer-based switching unit), the TOC is read, and playback starts. The default setting is off.

If the resume function is switched on (3.6, "Resume setting") playback will start from the point at which playback was last stopped, or at the playback point at which the power was last cut off.

If the resume function is off, playback will start from the beginning of the disc.

After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE wheel, the display changes:

TMR PLY>OFF

The options available are on and off.
