When this mode is enabled, pressing the PLAY key
[6]of the MD-801, or on an optional RC-801 or RC- 8 remote control unit (or the MONITOR key of either of these units), or a PS/2-type keyboard con- nected to the MD-801 will cue playback to the start of the track following the current track, and start playback from there.
NOTES
