Playback

The standard playback mode will play all the tracks on a
card in order. Alternative playback options are the EDL
playback mode, where the EDL marks in the tracks
control playback, and the Repeat playback mode where
either a single track is continually repeated or all the
tracks on a card are continually repeated.

The played back audio signal is simultaneously output to
the HEADPHONE jack, LINE OUT, DIGITAL OUT (if
turned on), and speaker (if no headphones are connected).
The HP/SPK VOLUME knob above the HEADPHONE
jack controls the output volume through the headphones
and speaker. All other outputs are a fixed level.
For output and levelmeter, refer to the table at the bottom
of this page.

Reverse and Forward Search

During playback, press and hold the

1/4 or ¢/¡

button to perform an audible search (4 times normal
speed) in the reverse or forward direction. Release the
1/4 or ¢/¡ button to return to the normal
playback speed.

Notes
• Reverse and forward searching will continue to the next or

previous track if held down past the beginning or the end of a
track.

• If Repeat or Repeat 1 is on, the searching will follow the track

order of the Repeat mode.

• These functions are not available during EDL playback and

EDL repeat playback modes.

Fast Reverse and Forward Search

For very large tracks, the normal reverse and forward
search speeds are too slow if certain points later in the
track need to be reached. Therefore, a 30 and 250 times
normal speed search is possible.
During playback, press the PLAY/PAUSE button to enter
the pause mode in the desired track you want to search.
Then press and hold the

1/4 or ¢/¡ button to

start fast search in the reverse or forward direction. The
search speed will be 30 times normal for 3 seconds and
then become 250 times normal for the rest of the time the
button is held. Release the

1/4 or ¢/¡ button to

return to the pause mode.

Notes
• There is no sound output in either of the fast search speeds.
• Reverse and forward searching will continue to the next or

previous track if held down past the begging or the end of a
track.

• If Repeat or Repeat 1 is on, the searching will follow the track

order of the Repeat mode.

• These functions are not available during EDL playback and

EDL repeat playback modes.

Selecting Tracks

In the stop, play, or pause modes, tracks previous or next
are selected by pressing the

1/4 and ¢/¡

buttons, corresponding the desired direction.

If the

1/4 button is pressed while playing back a

track or when paused at some point in a track, the
beginning of the current track is selected. Quick
subsequent presses of the

1/4 button will then select

previous tracks.

Note
• Erased tracks numbers are skipped when selecting tracks

unless the Renumber function is performed. Please refer to
page 20 for more information on the Renumber function.

• These functions are not available during EDL playback and

EDL repeat playback modes.
