Incremental play

Incremental playback means that when the STOP key
is pressed (or if a STOP signal is received through
the CONTROL connector) while a track is being
played back, the playback position will be at the start
of the next track.
If the PLAY key is pressed while the incremental
playback mode is on, playback starts from the start of
the next track.
To set the incremental play mode on:
1Press the appropriate MENU key and turn
the MULTI DIAL until the display shows PLAY
MENU. Push the MULTI DIAL.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
INC PLAY ?. Push the MULTI DIAL.
3Turn the MULTI DIAL so that the display
shows IncPlay> ON ?. Push the MULTI DIAL.
Turning off the function is the same, except that ON is
replaced by OFF.
NOTE
Although there is no indication on the display when the
incremental play mode is selected, you will notice that
is in operation whenever you stop playback of a track.

EOM tally time

This allows the drive to send out an EOM (End of
Message) tally signal a set number of seconds after
the track has actually finished.
1Press the appropriate MENU key and turn
the MULTI DIAL until the display shows PLAY
MENU. Push the MULTI DIAL.
2Turn the MULTI DIAL until the display shows
EOM TIME ?. Push the MULTI DIAL.
3Turn the MULTI DIAL so that the display
shows EOMTIME> xs, where x is a value bet ween
0 and 99. The 0 value indicates that no tally
signal is sent.
4Push the MULTI DIAL.
See “CONTROL I/O” on page51 for details of
pinouts, etc.

TOC Editing (drive 1 only)

The concept of TOC editing may need a little expla-
nation. Although a finalized (non-recordable CD) has
its Table Of Contents (TOC) fixed, it is possible to
“fool” drive 1 into believing that the TOC is actually
different from the real disc’s TOC.
This is done by editing the existing TOC and creating
a “virtual” TOC which is the table of contents for a
“virtual disc”, that is, one which does not actually
exist.
It is possible, for instance, to combine tracks, to split
tracks into two, or to erase a track from the TOC. It is
also possible to redefine the start point and end point
of a track.
A disc whose virtual TOC differs from its physical
TOC can be recognized by the
NO TOC
indicator
flashing in the display.
When the disc is played back, this virtual TOC is
used, and it may therefore be used when recording a
disc with a different TOC from that of the original.
The virtual TOC is lost when the drive tray is opened
or when power is turned off.
NOTE
The normal “Red Book” rules still apply. No more than
99 tracks may exist in the virtual TOC, and they must
each be at least four seconds in length.
In all these operations, rememb er that pressing STOP
is equivalent to answering “no” when you are asked
if an operation is to be performed.
All TOC editing operations except clearing the vir-
tual TOC must be performed in play ready (or play)
mode.
