Marantz PMD570 manual Auto Cue

Auto Cue

Auto Cue skips the silence at the beginning of an audio track and pauses playback at the point where the audio begins (sound is loud enough for long enough). You can adjust how loud (how many dB) and how long (milliseconds) the audio has to be before play- back is cued.

The Auto Cue Menu settings permit:

•turning Auto Cue On or Off

•adjusting the millisecond period in 5 millisecond intervals from 5 to 95 milliseconds, and

•adjusting the margin sound level that defines where audio begins in -5 dB increments from -20 to -60 dB.

If Normal Play Mode is selected (see Play Mode), when the end of the track is reached Auto Cue pauses playback cued to the sound of the next track.

Default settings are Off, 20 milliseconds, and -40 dB.
