4)Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.

The [PLAY] indicator is lit.

You can monitor the playback sound via headphones, the internal speaker or the [ANALOG OUT] connectors.

5)To stop playback, press the [STOP] (or [PAUSE]) key.

<Note>: While operating the unit on battery, we recommend using the [STOP] key to stop playback for saving battery power.

<Note>: If you stop playback using the [PAUSE] key, the recorder goes into pause mode. The pause mode is automatically released after the pause release time has passed and the recorder completely stops.

You can set the pause release time using the "Pause time" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode. The default pause release time is three minutes (see page 152).

<Hint>

You can select how the recorder behaves after it finishes playback of an audio file, using the "Chain play" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 168). By default, the recorder stops after playback ends. However, depend- ing on your selection, it can pause at the beginning of the next audio file or continue playback of audio files one after another.

Cueing playback

In the cue mode, forward or backward cueing (at up to 2 x speed) is possible. During playback, pressing the [F FWD] (or [REW]) key enters the cue mode and you can monitor audio at 2 x speed.

To cancel the cue mode, press the [PLAY] mode.

Time code playback

Recorded time code is played back together with audio and can be output from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector.

To output recorded time code from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector, set the "Sel. TC Out" item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU mode to "Repro". By default, the "Sel. TC Out" item is set to "Repro".

If the "Sel. TC Out" item is set to "Gen", set it to "Repro" (see page 189 for details about how to set the "Sel. TC Out" item).

<Note>: If the "Sel. TC Out" item is set to "Gen", always the internal TC generator time code is output from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector.

In the "TC SETUP" menu, the following menu items regarding time code playback are available. Set these item appropriately.

1)LTC start time setting ("Edit LTC start") -> page 191

2)Time code output setting in pause mode ("Pause TC") -> page 193

3)Userbit setting of repro. time code ("Rep TC Ubit") -> page 192
