BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT.)

3. STARTING PLAYBACK - Figure 11

Insert an audio CD as describe on page 14 (LOADING/EJECTING DISCS). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) with an audio CD inserted will imme- diately start playback. The PLAY (44) indicator will glow as soon as playback begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (15) or the BOP BUTTON (30) is pressed.

4. AUTO CUE

This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a CD is inserted. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new track is selected before the PLAY BUTTON (17) is pressed, a new CUE POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.

5. STOPPING PLAYBACK - Figures 11 & 12

Figure 11

Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track, this functions allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive mechanism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the unit has gone in to sleep mode. There are two ways to stop (pause) playback:

1)Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) during playback. This will pause play- back at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) was pressed.

2)Press the CUE BUTTON (15) during playback. This will pause playback and return the track to the last set cue point.

6. PAUSING - Figure 11

This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

(17)was pressed. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) will switch between play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the PAUSE INDICATOR

(49)in the LCD DISPLAY (19) will glow. The green PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17)

7. FRAME SEARCH

This feature allows you to scroll through a track frame by frame, allowing you to find and set a starting cue, sample, or loop point. To use the scroll function you must first be in Pause Mode (see section 5) or Cue Mode (see section 7). Once you are in Pause or Cue mode, turn the JOG WHEEL (16) to scroll through the track (Figure 13). Turning the wheel in a clockwise direction will advance the frame search and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction rewinds the frame search. When you use the JOG WHEEL (16) the monitor (headphone level) function allows you to here what you are scrolling through. Once you reach your desired starting point you can set a cue (starting) point by pressing the PLAY/ PAUSE BUTTON (17) as in Figure 11. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (15) as in Figure 12 will now return you to the point you just set.
