66 Advanced recording techniques Various playback functions This section explains the various playback functions offered by the MD4S. Play forward/backward at various speeds (Cue/Review) During playback, you can operate the CURSOR shuttle to play forward (cue) or backward (review) at various speeds. This is a convenient way to find the desired location within a song. 1. Press the PLAY button to begin playback. 2. Move the CURSOR shuttle to right or left to Cue or Review. The cue/review speed will depend on the angle to which you move the CURSOR shuttle. Cue (play forward) Speed Display Normal playback 1/2X speed CueHALF 2X speed Cue x2 4X speed Cue x4 8X speed Cue x8 16X speed Cue x16 32X speed Cue x32 CURSOR shuttle Review (play backward) Speed Display Normal playback 1/2X speed Rev x2 4X speed Rev x4 8X speed Rev x8 16X speed Rev x16 32X speed Rev x32 CURSOR shuttle Shuttle playback functions Note: It is not possible to move directly from normal playback to 1/2X speed cue. You must move the CURSOR shuttle toward the right to select 2X cue or faster, and then return the CURSOR shuttle to the 1/2X speed cue position. 3. If you press the ENTER button while using cue/review, the cue/review will be locked (fixed). Cue/review will continue even if you release the CURSOR shuttle. When you press the PLAY button, cue/review will be canceled, and normal playback will resume from that location. If cue/review reaches the beginning or end of the song, it will stop. Note: When 1/2X speed cue is used, the playback pitch will be one octave lower than normal. (This is the same effect as the 1/2X speed playback explained below.) However, the pitch will not change for cue/review at other speeds. -Owner's Manual
