FUNCTIONS USING CUE POINTS (CUE1 to CUE10)

Cue points can be located or flash (instantly) playback from points can be performed by setting cue points.

Up to ten cue points can be set to a single disc, and each assigned to numeric keys (CUE 1 to CUE 10).

Setting Cue Points

1In the monitor PAUSE mode, use the JOG/DATA dial, etc. to search for the desired point, and perform monitor playback. This operation automatically registers the cue points. (→ page 9 “Auto-registering Cue Points”)

2Press the SET key to set the remote control unit to the set mode.

The indicator lights.

3Press any of the numeric keys (0 to 9).

This operation assigns the cue point auto-registered in step 1 to that numeric key.

The CUE indicator of the numeric key you pressed lights (green), and the SET indicator goes out.

4You can set up to ten cue points by repeating the above operation.

[NOTE]

Cue points cannot be registered during online playback, in the online READY mode, or in the flash ready mode.

When a cue point is already set, it will be overwritten by the new point.

Cue points cannot be registered when other functions (e.g. index search, time search) that are used by numeric keys are ON.

zIf the CD-601MKII is turned OFF or the disc is removed, all preset cue points will be cleared.

If you save cue points to memory on the CD-601MKII as disc information, you can call them when you load the same disc later on. (→ page 23 “Saving Disc Information”)

Locating Cue Points

Perform the following to locate to preset cue points.

The following operation assumes that at least one cue point has been set (at least one of numeric keys 0 to 9 is lit).

1Press the RCL key. The indicator is lit.

2Press any one of the lit numeric keys.

The cue point is located, and the remote control unit enters the online READY mode or monitor PAUSE mode according to the auto cue up setting (set in menu No. 16). (→ page 17 “Setting Auto Cue Up”)

The RCL key goes out when the numeric key is pressed.

Directly Locating Cue Points

The direct cue point location function comes in handy in work that involves frequently locating cue points.

The following operation assumes that at least one cue point has been set (at least one of numeric keys 0 to 9 is lit).

1Successively press the RCL key twice.

The RCL indicator blinks to indicate that the current mode is the direct cue point locate mode.

2Press any one of the lit numeric keys.

The cue point is located, and the remote control unit enters the online READY mode or monitor PAUSE mode according to the auto cue up setting (set in menu No. 16). (→ page 17 “Setting Auto Cue Up”)

The RCL key stays blinking after a numeric key is pressed to locate a cue point. In other words, the direct cue point locate mode is not canceled. For this reason, other cue points can be located afterwards simply by pressing a numeric key.

To cancel the direct cue point locate function, press the RCL key. (The indicator goes out.)
