Tascam RC-601mkII Playing from an Intermediate Point in a Tune, Auto-registering Cue Points

BASIC OPERATIONS

4To check the playback sound, press the MONITOR key to set the remote control unit to the monitor playback mode. (The MONITOR key lights.)

z In addition to using an external monitor system, the monitor playback sound can also be checked on headphones connected to the PHONES terminal on the CD-601MKII or the remote control unit. For details when monitoring from the PHONES terminal on the remote control unit, see “Headphone Monitor Function” (page 25).

5After checking the monitor playback sound, press the READY key.

The disc returns to the tune start point, and the remote control unit enters the online READY mode. (The READY key lights.)

6Press the ON LINE key to start online playback. When the tune ends, playback automatically stops. z To cancel playback, press the STOP key.

[NOTE]

•In the default setting, the failsafe function is ON, and operation of keys other than STOP, PLAY MODE, DISPLAY MODE and REPEAT is not accepted during online playback. However, the menu system can be used to set the failsafe function OFF. (→ page 25 “Failsafe Function”)

Display of playback position

During playback, the approximate playback position in the track is displayed on the character display area of the display window in the form of a 12-dot bar. The number of square dots in this bar increases the further playback progresses. The following example shows that about 2/3 of the track has been played back.

When the time display in the display window is the track remaining mode (REMAIN), all of the square dots light at the beginning of the track, and decrease as playback progresses.

Playing from an Intermediate Point in a Tune

To search for any intermediate point in a tune and play back the final take from that point, select the track at step 3 in the procedure “Playing a Specific Tune from the Beginning” on the previous page, and perform the following.

4Search for the desired point using the search (by using the SEARCH dial), jog (by using the JOG/DATA dial) or monitor playback (by using the MONITOR key) functions, and set the remote control unit to the monitor PAUSE mode. (→ page 12 “Searching for an Intermediate Point in a Tune”)

5Press the MONITOR key to perform monitor playback, and check the point.

6Press the READY key.

The disc returns to the point preset in step 4, and the CD player enters the online READY mode. (The READY key lights.)

To adjust the setting point, press the PAUSE key to enter the monitor PAUSE mode, and return to step 4.

7Press the ON LINE key to start playback. When the tune ends, playback stops.

z To cancel playback, press the STOP key.

Auto-registering Cue Points

In the default setting, the position where monitor playback was last started from the monitor PAUSE mode is automatically registered as the cue point. When the READY key is pressed during monitor playback, the CD-601MKII is located to the cue point and enters the online READY mode.

By using menu item No. 20 (“CUE_SET”), you can select either of the following two conditions as the condition for auto-registering the cue point.

NOR (default setting): The position where monitor playback was last started from the monitor PAUSE mode is automatically registered as the cue point.

RDY: The position where monitor playback was started from the monitor PAUSE mode, or the position where the READY key was pressed from the monitor PAUSE mode is auto-registered as the cue point.

zFor details on menu operations, see “Menu Operations” (page 13).

The auto-registered cue points above can be assigned to numeric keys (CUE 1 to CUE 10) on the RC-601MKII. (→ page 21 “Functions using cue points”)
