3. STARTING PLAYBACK - Figure 10
Load an audio source as described on page 20 (LOADING/EJECTING USB
DEVICE). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (13) with an audio device loaded
will immediately start playback. The PLAY (57) indicator will glow as soon as play-
back begins. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be
stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the
point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (14) is pressed.
4. PAUSING - Figure 10
This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(13) was pressed. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (13) will switch between
play and pause modes. When the unit is in pause mode the PAUSE INDICATOR
(57) will show in the VFD DISPLAY (23). The blue PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (13) LED
will also begin to flash repeatedly.
5. AUTO CUE
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source that is
loaded. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new
track is selected before the PLAY BUTTON (13) is pressed, a new CUE POINT will
be set to reflect the new starting point.
6. STOPPING PLAYBACK - Figures 10 & 11
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue
the track, this functions allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive mecha-
nism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the unit has gone in to sleep mode. There
are two ways to stop (pause) playback:
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (13) during playback. This will pause play-
back at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (13) was pressed.
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (14) during playback. This will pause playback and
return the track to the last set cue point.
7. FRAME SEARCH
This feature allows you to scroll through a track frame by frame, allowing you to
find and set a starting cue or loop point. To use the scroll function you must first
be in Pause Mode (see section 4) or Cue Mode (see section 8). Once you are in
Pause or Cue mode, turn the JOG WHEEL (16) to scroll through the track (Figure
12). Turning the wheel in a clockwise direction will advance the frame search
and turning the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction rewinds the frame search.
When you use the JOG WHEEL (16) the monitor (headphone level) function allows
you to hear what you are scrolling through. Once you reach your desired starting
point you can set a cue (starting) point by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(11) as in Figure 10. Pressing the CUE BUTTON (14) as in Figure 11 will now return
you to the point you just set.
