When the auto cue function is ON:

When the auto cue function is ON, the remote control unit basically stands by according to the auto cue up setting.

When the auto cue function is OFF:

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

Specifying the track No.

While disc operations are stopped, in the monitor playback mode or in the monitor PAUSE mode, you can use the numeric keys to specify track numbers.

Specify tracks using two digits. For example, to specify track 3, press “0” and then “3”.

When the INDEX SEARCH indicator is lit, you cannot specify tracks using the numeric keys as the numeric keys are used for specifying the index No.
