NEXT TRACK SELECT function
During single-deck operations, you can specify the
next track to be played as you are playing another one.
Single track play
No matter what the cueing mode may be, you can
always play back single tracks. After playing a single
track, the deck stops rather than pauses, thus
preventing the mistaken playback of another track.
Playback display variations
The MDS-B6P displays track information (playing
time, track title, etc.) for the current and the next tracks
that have been selected for playback. By pressing the
DISPLAY button, you can display the following track
information:
UNDO function
You can undo the last editing operation (e.g., when
you have mistakenly erased a track).
End-of-message (EOM) function
This function outputs a tally signal from the
REMOTE(25P) connector before the end of a track or
the disc.
You can use the Setup menu to specify how far in
advance of the end the tally signal is output.
Cue point function
This function outputs a tally signal from the
REMOTE(25P) connector whenever a cue point is
detected during playback. Up to 255 cue points can be
marked per disc.
• Remaining playing time and title of the current track
• Elapsed time and title of the current track
• Remaining playing time of the current track and a list
of programmed tracks during Program Play or Instant
Playback.
• Playing time and title of the next track
Rehearsal function
You can play back a portion of a track repeatedly in
order to precisely determine points for cueing or track
division. You can also use the Setup menu to specify
the length of the portion to be repeated and the interval
between
the end of one repeat and the start of another.
RAM Edit function
You can do temporary editing, such as dividing,
combining, and moving the tracks on the MD, without
overwriting the TOC information. The results of the
RAM edit function will be lost when the MiniDisc is
ejected. You can use the RAM edit function on pre-
mastered MDs.
Track trimming function
You can temporarily modify the starting and ending
points of a track. The head trimming edit allows you
to specify the starting point in accordance to the audio
rising point.
Digital time meter
The digital time meter displays the accumulated
spindle motor operation time.
Easy menu operations
The editing and setting operations on the MDS-B6P
are done using two types of menus: the Edit menu and
the Setup menu. Menu operations are easily done
using the AMS control, turning it to select items and
pressing it to select the setting.
