Auto cueing

This function automatically sets the cue point ( P. 15) just before actual
sound begins when a disc is loaded, or when performing track search or
changing tracks.
If the search continues for ten seconds without finding the point, the
cue point is set at the track's beginning.
¶ Turning auto cueing on and off
Pressing the TIME MODE/AUTO CUE button and holding it down
for a second or more causes auto cueing to be alternately turned on
and off.
When AUTO CUE is on, the [A.CUE] indicator will be lit up.
¶ AUTO CUE on/off status is stored in memory and persists even
when the power is turned off.
¶ It can change the AUTO CUE level.
7 Changing the AUTO CUE level
1. Press the TIME MODE/AUTO CUE button for over 5 seconds.
¶ The display will indicate [–60db] (in the original state).
2. Press the CUE LOOP CALL button (2, 3) to change the level.
¶ It can choose from –36 dB, –42 dB, –48 dB, –54 dB, –60 dB, –66 dB,
–72 dB and –78 dB.
¶ When the TIME MODE/AUTO CUE button is pressed or 15 sec-
onds elapses, the level change mode is canceled.
¶ Even if you turn the power off, the set level will remain in memory.

Starting playback

1. Insert a disc in the player.
This unit spins discs at high speeds to provide high performance. As
a result, disc loading takes a couple of seconds.
2. If auto cueing is on, press the PLAY/PAUSE button (6).
¶ Press the PLAY/PAUSE button only after the current time lights
in the display. The silent portion at the beginning of the displayed
track will be skipped and playback will begin instantaneously from
the first bars of the track.
When one track's playback ends, the next track is cued. The [CUE]
indicator lights, and the PLAY/PAUSE button [6] indicator flashes
to indicate the unit is in the play standby mode.
When the PLAY/PAUSE button (6) is pressed, the next track be-
gins its playback.
If auto cueing is off, playback will begin automatically from
the first track.
¶ When auto cueing is off, playback will continue after the first track
has been played, with all subsequent tracks being played in sequence.
¶ When playback of the final track is complete, playback will automati-
cally come to an end.

1. Press the EJECT button (0).

Resume function
¶ Even if the EJECT button is pressed by mistake, if the PLAY/PAUSE
button is pressed quickly (before the [EJECT] indicator lights in the
display), the unit will revert to the status it was in before the EJECT
button was pressed. However, the audio output will stop during that
time.
¶ Following disc eject, if the same disc is reinserted, the unit will return
to the same status it was in before the disc was ejected (with excep-
tion of loop).
¶ Following disc eject, if the FOLDER SEARCH button (|, \) or TRACK

During playback, press the PLAY/PAUSE button (6).

and playback will be interrupted.
¶ If the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed again, the button's indicator

¶ In CDJ mode, broken playback sound will be output even during pause.
If you wish for no sound to be output, lower the output level of the
audio mixer.
¶ In VINYL mode, playback may decelerate slowly before coming to a
full stop ( P. 18, "Braking")
¶ After setting the unit to pause, if no subsequent operation is per-
formed for 100 minutes, the disc rotation will automatically stop. In
this event, pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button will cause playback to
resume.

operations, the unit will stop, even if it is in the play mode.

tion to speed at which the jog dial is rotated.
