Repeat playback

You can repeatedly play back all tracks in the play area, or repeatedly play back a specified region within a track (A-B Repeat playback).

Conventional repeat playback

If you press the remote’s REPEAT key to turn Repeat playback on, all tracks in the play area will play repeatedly (to do this on the SS-R1 itself, use menu mode).

NOTE

You can use the PLAY menu item REPEAT to turn on Repeat playback from the SS-R1 itself.

REPEAT will light in the display.

In this state, all tracks in the play area can be played back repeatedly.

If you turn on Repeat playback during playback, playback will continue, and when it reaches the end of the play area, it will return to the beginning and continue playing. If you

turn on repeat playback while stopped, repeat playback will begin when you press the PLAY key.

To turn off repeat playback, press the remote’s REPEAT key once again (or turn the PLAY menu item REPEAT to the OFFsetting).

The REPEAT indicator in the display will go dark.

NOTE

•By using repeat playback in conjunction with Single playback, Program playback, or Random playback, you can repeat a single song, repeat a program, or repeat random playback.

•The repeat function on/off setting is remembered even when the power is off.

A-B Repeat playback

This lets you specify a desired region (A-B) within a track that will be played back repeatedly.

1While playing or stopped, press the remote’s A-Bkey at the starting point (A) of the region that you want to repeat.

In the home screen, the REPEAT and A- indicators will blink.

NOTE

If you press the REPEAT key, the repeat play starting point (A) will be cancelled, and REPEAT and A- will go dark.

2Once again, press the remote’s A-Bkey at the ending point (B) of the region that you want to repeat. If you cancel during playback, playback will continue past the point specified as the end- ing point of A-B repeat playback.

NOTE

•If you press the STOP key to stop playback, the specified region (A-B) will be cleared.

•You can’t specify A-B repeat playback across tracks.

In the home screen, A-Bwill light (in addition to REPEAT). The region (A-B) has now been specified, and A-B repeat playback will begin.

• To turn off A-B Repeat playback:

Press the remote’s A-Bkey or the REPEAT key.

In the home screen, the REPEAT indicator and the A-Bindicator will go dark, and A-B repeat playback will be cancelled.

Pitch Control playback

The SS-R1 can modify the pitch (the pitch and playback speed) of the playback (Pitch Control playback).

Here is how to use Pitch Control playback.

1Press the front panel PITCH knob (or the remote’s PITCH key) to turn on Pitch Control playback.

When this is on, the PITCH indicator in the display will light in the home screen.

2Turn the PITCH knob (or use the remote’s PITCH +/- keys) to specify the pitch.

While you’re making this setting, the display’s pitch control value is shown as PITCH LVL XXX%.

You can specify the pitch in a range of -16.0–+16.0.

• To turn off Pitch Control playback:

Press the front panel PITCH knob (or the remote’s PITCH key).

The PITCH indicator in the display will go dark, and Pitch Control playback will turn off. Even if Pitch Control playback is off, the pitch you specified in step 2 above is remembered, and will be valid if you turn Pitch Control on once again.
