Auto Cue - Marantz PMD570 Professional User Manual

Auto Cue

Auto Cue skips the silence at the beginning of an
audio track and pauses playback at the point where the
audio begins (sound is loud enough for long enough).
You can adjust how loud (dB's) and how long (milli-
seconds) the audio has to be before playback is cued.
The Auto Cue Menu settings permit:
• turning Auto Cue On or Off.
• adjusting the millisecond period in 5 millisecond
intervals from 5 to 95 milliseconds.
• adjusting the margin sound level that defines
where audio begins in -5 dB increments from -20
to -60 dB.
If Normal Play Mode is selected (see Play Mode),
Auto Cue pauses playback cued to the sound of the
next track when the end of the track is reached.
Default settings are Off, 20 milliseconds, and -40 dB.
