PLAYBACK-RELATED FUNCTIONS

Auto Cue Function

When the auto cue function is turned ON, the remote control unit automatically stands by (in the online READY or monitor PAUSE mode) at the audio start point of the track when the track is selected or when the auto ready function is ON.

(→ page 11 “Selecting the Track”)

Press the AUTO CUE key to turn the auto cue function ON/ OFF. When the auto cue function is ON, “A.CUE” is lit in the display window.

zThe auto cue function ON/OFF setting is backed up on the remote control unit. So, the same setting is reproduced when the remote control unit is next turned ON.

After searching for the audio start point on the track with the auto cue function ON, whether the remote control unit enters the online READY mode or the monitor PAUSE mode is determined according to the auto cue up setting described below.

Setting the Auto Cue Level

Select from the following auto cue levels using menu No. 01 (“A_CUE”). The point where signals at the auto cue level or above first appear on the selected track are recognized as the audio start point.

Selection:-72 dB (default setting), -66 dB, -60 dB, -54 dB, -48 dB

Setting Auto Cue Up

Select whether the remote control unit enters the online READY mode or the monitor PAUSE mode when the auto cue function is activated using menu No. 16 (“CUE_UP”).

Selection: RDY (online READY, default setting), PUS (monitor PAUSE)

[NOTE]

The remote control unit also enters the online READY or monitor PAUSE mode according to the auto cue up setting when the auto ready function is activated.

Auto Ready Function

When the auto ready function is ON, the remote control unit stands by at the start of the next track after a track is played back.

Press the AUTO READY key to turn the auto ready function ON/OFF. When the auto ready function is ON, “A.READY” is lit in the display window.

zThe auto ready function ON/OFF setting is backed up on the CD player. So, the same setting is reproduced when the CD player is next turned ON.

When the auto ready function is activated, the remote control unit enters the online READY or monitor PAUSE mode according to the setting of menu No. 16 (“CUE_UP”). (→ above “Setting Auto Cue Up”)

Also, the remote control unit stands by at the following points according to the playback mode:

Regular playback:

Start of next track

Single playback:

Start of current track

Program playback:

Start of next programmed track

[NOTE]

When the auto ready function and auto cue function are used together, the remote control unit stands by at the audio start point of the next track after a track is played.

Pitch Control Function

The pitch control function can be used to control the playback speed within the ±12.5% range.

Press the PITCH CONTROL key to turn the pitch control function ON/OFF. When the pitch control function is ON, “PITCH” and the current pitch control value light in the display window.

When the pitch control function is ON, the +/- keys can be used to set the pitch control values in 0.1% increments.

Pressing both the + and - keys simultaneously resets the pitch control value to 0.0%.

zThe pitch control function ON/OFF setting and pitch control value are backed up on the remote control unit. So, the same settings are reproduced when the remote control unit is next turned ON.

[NOTE]

Even when the pitch control function is activated, a digital signal of sampling frequency 44.1 kHz is output at all times from the digital output terminal on the remote control unit. Note, however, that when the remote control unit is synchronized to a 48 kHz external word clock signal, a digital signal of sampling frequency 48 kHz is output.
