Flash Start

The flash start setting allows you to instantly play back from a preset cue point.

The playback data at the start section of the cue point is read to buffer memory on CD-601MKII.

When reading ends, the FLASH READY indicator stops blinking and lights.

4Press the numeric key of the currently set cue point. This starts playback instantly from the cue point.

When a numeric key is pressed in the online READY mode or online playback mode, the remote control unit enters the online playback mode regardless of the failsafe function setting. When a numeric key is pressed in the monitor PAUSE or monitor playback mode, the remote control unit enters the monitor playback mode.

[NOTE]

•To cancel flash ready, hold down the FLASH READY key in the monitor PAUSE mode. “CLEAR FLASH” is displayed in the display window, and the FLASH READY indicator goes out.

•The flash start mode can be entered only when the FLASH READY indicator is lit. Otherwise, this mode cannot be entered.

•New cue points cannot be set while the FLASH READY indicator is lit.
