ON SONG LOAD

!Play from start

When a track is loaded, playback starts from the beginning of the track. If there is a blank section at the beginning of the track, play- back starts from the position at which the sound starts.

—When a track is loaded with this setting disabled, playback starts from the position played last on the track that was playing the previous time.

!Instant Doubles

The same track is played on both tracks (doubled).

—For example, when the track currently playing on deck (A) is also loaded in deck (B), the playing position of the track on deck (B) is automatically synchronized to deck (B) and playback begins. At this time, the master tempo and loop settings are also synchronized.

!Play from first Cue Point

When a track is loaded, playback start position is set on the low- numbered hot cue within set hot cues.

—If no hot cue has been set for the track, playback starts from the beginning of the track.
