If you press the [CUE] key during recording, a cue point holding the current time value is set, while “Cue: ** Stored!” (** is a cue number) and the cue time value are briefly shown on the screen. Setting a cue point repeatedly counts up the cue number.

You can view cue points after recording.

Viewing the cue point list

Pressing the [CUE] key while the unit is stopped brings up the CUE LIST screen as shown below. In this screen, the existing cue points are listed. In the screen example below, cue points 01 through 04 are set, while no data is stored on and after cue point 05. The time data is shown by the format based on the time display indicator.

Labels are automatically given to the recorded CUEs. “BC$START” to CUE 01, “BC$END” to CUE 02, and “Cue 03”, “Cue 04”.... “Cue 99” to CUE 03 and the following cues.

“BC$START” and “BC$END” are the label names reserved by the BWF-J specification. On this list screen, you can not only view cue points but also locate to a cue point, edit a cue point and add a new cue point to the list.
