    5. STOPPING PLAYBACK -  Figures 10 & 11
    Stopping  playback  will  not  stop  the  drive  mecha-
    nism,  but  merely  pause  or  cue  the  track,  this  func
    -
    tion allows the unit to begin play instantly. The drive 
    mechanism will only stop if a disc is ejected or the 
    unit has gone in to sleep mode. There are two ways 
    to stop (pause) playback:
    1)  Press the  PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (22) during    
      playback. This will pause playback at the exact   
      same point the
      PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (22)  was   
      pressed.
     
    2)  Press the
      CUE BUTTON (23) during playback.    
      This will pause
      playback and return the track to   
      the last set cue point.  
    3. STARTING PLAYBACK -  Figure 10
    Insert  an  audio  CD  as  described  on  page  15 
    (LOADING/EJECTING  DISCS).  Pressing  the PLAY/
    PAUSE  BUTTON  (22)  with  an  audio  CD  loaded  will 
    immediately  start  playback.  The  PLAY  (41)
     indicator 
    will  glow  as  soon  as  playback  begins.  The  point  at 
    which  playback  starts  (cue  point)  will  automatically 
    be  stored  in  the  memory  as  the  cue  point.  The  unit 
    will  return  to  this  cue  point  (the  point  at  which  play
    -
    back started) when the
      CUE BUTTON (23) is pressed 
    and released.

    This  function  will  automatically  set  a  cue  point  to  the  first  audio  source  when  a  CD  is  loaded.  The  first  set 
    cue  point  will  always  be  the  beginning  of  track  1.  If  a  new  track  is  selected  before  the  PLAY  BUTTON  (22) 
    is 
    pressed, a new  CUE POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.
    6.  PAUSING - Figure 10
    This function pauses playback at the exact same point the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (22)  was pressed. Pressing 
    the  PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  (22) will  switch  between  play  and  pause  modes.  When  the  unit  is  in  pause  mode 
    the  PAUSE INDICATOR (42) in the  LCD DISPLAY (2)  and the green PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (22)  L.E.D. will begin 
    to flash repeatedly.

    8.  SETTING and STORING a CUE POINT:
    Setting A Cue Point:
    A  cue  point  is  the  exact  point  playback  will  begin  when  the  PLAY/PAUSE  BUTTON  (22)  is  pressed.  You  may 
    set your cue points anywhere on a disc or in a track. You may set up to four independent cue points per disc. 
    Four cue points are stored in the
      BANK BUTTONS 1-4 (7) and one is shared by the  IN BUTTON (21), and the 
    CUE BUTTON (23). There are two (2) ways to set and create a CUE point as detailed in figures 13 and 14
    1)  You may press the  IN BUTTON (21) on the fly    
      (while the disc is playing). This will set a CUE    
       Point without music interruption. Pressing the
     
      CUE BUTTON (23) will now return you to the    
      same point that you pressed the
      CUE BUTTON   
      (23)
    .  You may now store this CUE Point in any 
      of the
      BANK BUTTONS  1-4 (7). Pressing the    
      CUE BUTTON (23), or  the  IN BUTTON (21) will    
      now return 
    y ou to this exact point.

      cue point. While a disc is in PAUSE or CUE mode,  
      use the  SEARCH KNOB (6)
     to scroll through a 
      track to find your desired starting point.  Once you 
      have found your desired position press the 
    PLAY  
      BUTTON (22)
      to set your cue point. Pressing the  
      CUE BUTTON (23)  or the IN BUTTON (21) will 
      now return you to this exact point.

    Storing A Cue Point:
    Once you have set your CUE Point by one of the two means listed on page 17, you may store your cue point 
    in one of the
      BANK BUTTONS (7). Once you store this cue point in memory you may recall it at any time and 
    you may even recall if the disc has been removed or power had been disconnected. You may store a maximum 
    of four cue points per a disc and maximum of 4,000 cue points can be saved in unit's memory.  Either a CUE 
    POINT or a Loop (See creating a loop on page 19) can be stored into a
      BANK BUTTON (7).
    Figure 15
    Create a Cue Point by one of the two means listed 
    on  page  16.  Press  the
      MEMORY  BUTTON  (12), 
    as  in  Figure  16.  The  blue  Memory  L.E.D.  will  glow 
    indicating  the  store  memory  function  has  been 
    activated.  You  may  now  press  any  one  of  the 
    three
      BANK  BUTTONS  (7)  to  store  your  cue  point 
    into  memory  (Figure  16).  After  pressing  one  of 
    the  BANK  BUTTONS  (7),  the  corresponding  Bank 
    Button  L.E.D.  will  flash.  The  blue  L.E.D.  on  the  the 
    BANK  BUTTON  (7)  will  turn  red  and
     will  remain  lit 
    indicating  either  a  loop  or  cue  point  is  stored  in 
    memory. The blue Memory L.E.D. will turn off.
    1) To Store a cue point:
    Repeat the above steps to store up to three Cue 
    Points.  Once  your  three  cue  points  have  been 
    stored you may access them at any time. During 
    playback  the  cue  points  will  instantly  start  play
    -
    back from that point without any music interrup-
    tion.  Please  note  in  order  to  access  these  cue 
    point, the disc used to create the cue points must 
    be in the drive.

    A seamless loop is a sound loop that plays continuously without sound interruption. You can use this loop to 
    create dramatic effect in your mixing. This loop has no time limit and you could actually loop the entire length 
    of disc. You create a seamless loop between two continuous points of a d
    isc.

    10.  EDITING A LOOP:
    Please Note:  Only the end point of the loop may be edited. You may make your loop shorter or longer. Before 
    you can edit your seamless loop you obviously must first have created a seamless loop to edit. If you haven’t 
    created  a  SEAMLESS  LOOP,  follow  the  instructions  in  step  9  to  create  a  loop.  If  a  SEAMLESS  LOOP  has 
    already  been  created,  press  the  RELOOP  BUTTON  (19) to  activate  your  SEAMLESS  LOOP  (Figure  21)  if  it  is 
    not already activated. If the loop is located in one of the  BANK BUTTONS (7) press the desired BANK BUTTON
     
    to activate your loop. To edit your seamless loop’s ending point: 
    Make  sure  the  loop  that  you  want  to  edit  is  playing. 
    Now press and hold the  RELOOP BUTTON (19) until 
    the start time of your loop is displayed. 
    -   FOR A SHORTER LOOP: Turn the
     JOG WHEEL  
      (1)
      counter clockwise  to make the loop shorter. 
      Press the OUT BUTTON to set the ending point   
      of your loop.
    -    FOR LONGER LOOP:
     Turn the JOG WHEEL    
      (1)
     clockwise.  Press the OUT BUTTON to set the  
      ending point of your loop.
    Notice: the time changes according to the setting   
    of the time display, i.e.  REMAIN, TOTAL REMAIN,    
    or ELAPSED.
