3. STARTING PLAYBACK - Figure 10
Load an audio CD as describe on page 16 (loading/ejecting diScS).
Pressing the play/pauSe Button (18) with an audio CD loaded will immediate-
ly start playback. The play (39) 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 (20) is pressed.
4. AUTO CUE
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio point when a CD
is loaded. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new
track is selected before the play Button (18) is pressed, a new CUE POINT will
be set to reflect the new starting point.
5. STOPPING PLAYBACK - Figures 10 & 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 mecha-
nism 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 (18) during playback. This will pause play-
back at the exact same point the play/pauSe Button (18) was pressed.
2) Press the cue Button (20) during playback. This will pause playback and
return the track to the last set cue point.
6. PAUSING - Figure 10
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the play/pauSe Button
(18) was pressed. Pressing the play/pauSe Button (18) will switch between
play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the pauSe indicator
(39) will show in the lcd diSplay (28). The green play/pauSe Button (18)
LED will also begin to flash repeatedly.
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 6) or Cue Mode (see section 9). Once
you are in Pause or Cue mode, turn the jog Wheel (14) to scroll through the
track (Figure 12). 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 (14) the monitor (headphone level) function
allows you to hear what you are scrolling through. Once you reach your desired
starting point you can set a cue (starting) point by pressing the in Button (24)
as in Figure 19. Pressing the cue Button (20) or cue play Button (19) as in
Figure 11 will now return you to the point you just set.
Note: For both X & Y parameter ratio, if no effect is active and either parameter
button is on the jog Wheel (14) will effect the pitch.
