BASIC OPERATIONS
Online Playback and Monitor Playback
The CD player has two playback modes, online playback and monitor playback. The output destination in each of these playback modes can be set individually.
For example, in sites such as broadcasts and events, the monitor playback mode can be used to cue tracks or playback points before the final take, and then the CD player can be set to online standby (READY), and online playback can be performed from that point at the time of the final take.
On this CD player, the UNBALANCED analog output terminal and SPDIF digital output terminal are positioned as terminals for monitor output, and the BALANCED analog output terminal and AES/EBU digital output terminal are positioned as terminals for online output.
Note, however, that in the default setting both the monitor playback signal and the online playback signal are output in the same way from all analog/digital output terminals.
B y c h a n g i n g t h e m e n u s e t u p , y o u c a n s e t t h e UNBALANCED analog output terminal and SPDIF digital output terminal for monitor exclusive output, or the BALANCED analog output terminal and the AES/EBU digital output terminal for online exclusive output. (→ page 22 “Setting the Terminals for Online Output”) (→ page 22 “Setting the Terminals for Monitor Output”)
[NOTE]
•This manual refers to the online playback standby state as “online READY” and the monitor playback standby state as “monitor PAUSE.”
