In MasterLink Version 2.0 software, the Utility Pages have been expanded from four pages to
nine pages, and have been re-ordered for better ease of use.

RACK
It is sometimes desirable to loop a Track or a CD when playing back audio. New to Version
2.0 software is the ability to loop Tracks, CD Tracks, Playlists, and entire CDs.
To access the various Loop modes, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 2 is
displayed, as shown in Figure 4.1.1.
The MasterLink defaults to "Loop Off"; pressing UP/YES once will change the Loop mode to
"Track Loop", which applies to Tracks in a Playlist as well as to tracks on a CD. Another press
of the UP/YES button will change the Loop mode to "Playlist/CD Loop", which will loop an
entire Playlist or CD indefinitely.

LAYLIST
Version 2.0 software brings the ability to back up and restore all parameters of a Playlist to
CD. In Version 1.xx software, your only option for backing up a Playlist was to create a CD24.
However, in creating a CD24 disc, any DSP that has been applied to the Playlist is rendered to
the audio during the CD creation process.
With the Playlist Backup function, all audio is saved to CD as un-rendered AIFF files, and the
real-time Track DSP settings are saved to the CD as well. In other words, your Playlist may be
preserved as a "work in progress", with the DSP settings saved separately from the raw,
unprocessed Audio Files on the same CD. These discs are also ISO9660-compliant, so if you
wish to access the un-rendered audio in a PC or Macintosh, they can be accessed as easily as a
CD24 disc.
To initiate a Playlist Backup, press the UTILITY button repeatedly until Utility Page 3 is
displayed, as shown in Figure 4.2.1.
