		displayed.

Checking the Ending of Tracks

When the END CHECK key is pressed to turn the end check function ON (indicator lights), the ending of the track can be monitored. This feature is handy for checking how tracks end.

1Set the desired check time using menu No. 12 (“E_CHK”).

The ending section of the track can be monitored for the preset time.

Set within the range 5 to 30 seconds in 1-second increments. The default setting is 5 seconds.

2Press the END CHECK key to turn the end check function ON (indicator is lit).

3While disc operations are stopped, in the monitor playback mode, or in the monitor PAUSE mode, select the track to check using the TRACK key.

While disc operations are stopped or in the monitor playback mode, monitor playback is performed for the preset end check time.

In the monitor PAUSE mode, playback stands by in the monitor PAUSE mode at the position for the amount of the preset end check time.

To turn the end check function OFF:

Either press the END CHECK key, or press the READY or STOP key.

[NOTE]

•When a track is selected in the monitor PAUSE mode, the remote control unit enters the monitor PAUSE mode at the point on the track before the amount of the preset end check time.

•When a track is selected by using the TRACK key on the CD-601MKII, the end check function does not work.

Switching the Time Display

Each press of the DISPLAY MODE key during playback switches the time information in the display window. As the default setting, the time display mode is switched between “track elapsed time” and “track remaining time.”

The type of time display that is switched using the DISPLAY MODE key can be selected in menu No. 19 (“TIME”). Selections are displayed at 1 to 4.

1 (default setting): Track elapsed time ⇔ track remaining time

2:Track elapsed time ⇔ track remaining time ⇔ disc remaining time

3:Track elapsed time ⇔ track remaining time ⇔ disc remaining time ⇔ disc total time

4:Track elapsed time ⇔ track remaining time ⇔ disc remaining time ⇔ disc total time ⇔ track time

The current time display mode is displayed as follows at the top of the display window.

Track elapsed time:	(no display)
Track remaining time:	REMAIN is lit.
Disc remaining time:	TOTAL REMAIN is lit.
Disc total time:	TOTAL is lit.
Track time:	TOTAL blinks.

zThe time display setting is backed up on the remote control unit. So, the same setting is reproduced when the remote control unit is next turned ON.

[NOTE]

•While disc operations are stopped, the disc total time is displayed.

•Selection of the time display mode by the DISPLAY MODE key is applied only on the RC-601MKII. For selection of the time display mode on the CD-601MKII, the DISP MODE key on the CD-601MKII is used. Note, however, that the menu No. 19 (“TIME”) setting is valid on both the RC-601MKII and the CD-601MKII.
