4.2 Playback of discs
The following instructions apply to both pre- recorded and recordable MD media.
4.2.1 Playing back a whole disc
When the disc has been loaded, and the TOC has been read, use the PLAY MODE key so that the playback mode is not set to S I N G L E or A - B (see [22]).
4 - Basic operations
Press the PLAY key [6]. Playback will start from the beginning of the disc.
Stop playback with the STOP key [5].
Pause playback with the READY key [7] and restart it with the PLAY key.
NOTE
If the tracks being played back are less than three seconds in length, playback will be dis- continuous (“jumpy”).
4.2.2 Playback outputs
There are two sets of outputs provided on the MD-
801:the LINE balanced
[38].
OUTPUT MODE DIP switch 2 [39] on the rear panel is used to synchronize these outputs so that material is always played back through both sets of outputs (off), or individually (on).
If the individual output option is chosen, the PLAY key on the
If the the LINE outputs are used for playback, the MONITOR outputs may also be used for simulta- neous playback. OUTPUT MODE DIP switch 3 controls this. When set to off, the MONITOR out- puts are muted when the LINE outputs are in use. When set on, the MONITOR outputs are always used.
The PHONES jack [9] is always used.
The above applies to the analog outputs only, and does not refer at all to the digital outputs, which are always in use, regardless of the origin of the play- back command.
4.2.3 Monaural playback
OUTPUT MODE DIP switch 1 [39] is used to com- bine the left and right tracks and output them from both the left and right outputs equally.
The outputs affected are the LINE [40], MONITOR
[38]and PHONES outputs. The digital outputs are not affected by the position of this switch.
