so the unit goes into play mode (the play/pause LED will glow). Listen
to the CD and when the CD gets to the approximate spot, push the
PLAY/PAUSE (11) button so the unit goes into pause mode (the play/
pause LED will blink). Move the JOG WHEEL (16) or use the
SEARCH (9) buttons to find the precise spot you want play to begin,
and push the PLAY/PAUSE (11) to memorize the cue point. Press
CUE (10) to return to the memorized cue point in pause mode, and
then push PLAY/PAUSE (11) to play from the cue point. Or you can
press the BOP (7) button to return to and instantly play from the
saved cue point (if you do not have a loop saved).

will continue to play). The cue point is now memorized. Press the

you can press the CUE (10) button to return to the memorized cue
point in pause mode, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE (11) button to

AND/OR
To use the SET CUE (15) button and the DIRECT ACCESS (12) buttons
to set a cue point, follow these instructions:

DIRECT ACCESS (12) buttons to memorize the spot at which you
want play to start, the CUE POINT, by selecting the proper track,
minute, second and frame. Push the CUE (10) button to set the cue.
You can do this in any mode, including PLAY MODE, so that you may
cue a track while playing a track. Press the CUE (10) button again to
return to the memorized cue point in pause mode, and then push
PLAY/PAUSE (11) to play from the cue point. Or you can press the
BOP (7) button to return to and instantly play from the saved cue
point (if you do not have a loop saved).
SUGGESTION: To avoid confusion while setting cue
points, keep the time display in ELAPSED TIME mode.
When you use the DIRECT ACCESS BUTTONS to set a
cue, the track, minute, second and frame are always in
elapsed time. If the units time display is in TRACK
REMAIN or TOTAL REMAIN mode, the track, minute,
second and frame displayed will be the remain time
and not the track, minute, second and frame you
entered.
2. To fine tune a cue point, pause play at the memorized cue point (the
cue LED will glow and the play/pause LED will blink), then use the
JOG WHEEL (16) or SEARCH (9) buttons to scan frame by frame (1/
75th of a second) to where you want play to begin (the cue LED will
blink while you scan). Press the PLAY/PAUSE (11) button to save the
new cue point.
Note: During fine tuning there will be a stutter effect (to
help you find the beat). The stuttering effect will end
when you press the PLAY/PAUSE (11) button to save the
cue point. Also, during fine tuning if you hold down the
SEARCH (9) buttons, the unit will scan quickly after 10
frames.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.
If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume
that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec
and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for
repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
