However, just after the recall operation, start from the CUE 1-3 or loop points will not be seamless when performed on the first try (because there are no data in the RAM buffer just after the recall operation). Once playing from cue points (CUE 1-3) and/or loop start point, flash start and/or looping can again be performed seamlessly.
