Selecting a track

T r a c k s c a n b e s e l e c t e d ( s k i p p e d ) u s i n g t h e TRACK(Â/¯) key.

Âkey:

Pressing this key when the elapsed time of a track is one second or more, the CD player returns to the start of that track. When the elapsed time is less than one second, the CD player skips to the start of the previous track.

¯key:

The CD player skips to the start of the next track. Pressing this key again makes the CD player skip to the start of the following track.

In the program playback mode, the CD player skips to the previous and next tracks according to the program order.

When the Âkey is pressed at the start of track 1, the CD player skips to the start of the final track, and when the >>I key is pressed at the final track, the CD player skips to the start of the first track.

When the  or ¯ key is pressed while disc operations are stopped, the CD player skips to the start of the first track on the disc.

Selecting the index

When the INDEX key is pressed to set to the index search mode (INDEX indicator is lit), the index can be selected (skipped) by using the TRACK key.

The operation mode after index selection conforms to operation after track selection. The auto cue function also is active. (The CD player stands by at the audio start point of the index.)

Searching for an intermediate point in a tune

You can search for cues in a tune by holding down the SEARCH (∆/˚) key during monitor playback or in the monitor PAUSE mode.

When the failsafe function is OFF, cue searches are also possible in the online READY mode. (→ page 23 “Failsafe Function”)

[NOTE]

During a cue search, the playback output level automatically drops by about 12 dB.

Holding down the SEARCH key during monitor playback performs a cue search at about ten times the regular speed.

Holding down the SEARCH key in the monitor PAUSE mode gradually increases the search speed.

CD player operation after track selection

Operation of the CD player after a track is selected by the TRACK key differs according to the operating state of the CD player when this key is pressed, the ON/OFF state of the auto cue function, and the auto cue up setting. (→ page 20 “Auto Cue Function”)

When the auto cue function is ON:

When the auto cue function is ON, the CD player basically stands by according to the auto cue up setting.

When the auto cue function is OFF:

The CD player enters the same state as that before the TRACK key is pressed. Note, however, that the CD player enters the monitor playback mode when a track has been selected while disc operations were stopped or while the tray was open.
