Load a memory card with desired track into the player. ÷ The CARD indicator will light. ÷ MMC cards created on devices equipped with security functions, or MMC cards formatted using proprietary formats cannot be played (the CARD indicator will not light when the card is loaded). ÷ The player will search for the first track on the default playlist and enter cue pause mode at that point; the LOOP START/STOP button (3/7) will simultaneously light. 2. Press the MIXOUT CARD CONTROL block's TRACK SEARCH button (4, ¢) to select the desired track onto the memory card. ÷ The track number will change up or down, corresponding to the direction indicated by the button pressed, and the track number and title of the first track discovered will be displayed; the player will enter cue pause mode at the beginning of the track. ÷ If the button is held depressed, the search will be performed continuously; if the button is held depressed for 2 seconds or more, the speed of search will increase. ÷ If reverse search (4) is performed from the lowest numbered track, the search function will jump to the last (highest numbered) track. ÷ If forward search (¢) is performed from the highest numbered track, the search function will jump to the first (lowest numbered) track. ÷ To search within a specific play list of a memory card, use the FOLDER SEARCH button (+, =) first to designate the desired play list; in this way, the track search function will operate on the tracks in the selected play list. If no play list is designated, the search function will be performed within all tracks located in the memory card. ÷ During playback, to skip to the previous track, press the 4 button twice in succession. 3. Press the LOOP START/STOP button (3/7). ÷ When pressed from the cue pause mode, the button's [3/7] indicator flashes and playback simultaneously begins. ÷ When the selected track ends, playback returns to the beginning of the track and begins again (seamless one-track loop). ÷ If the LOOP START/STOP button (3/7) is pressed during playback, playback stops, the button's [3/7] indicator lights and the unit enters the cue pause mode at the beginning of the track. ÷ By making cue and loop settings beforehand, you can change the range of the loop playback (  P.16). 7 Cue point sampler When a memory card track has been set in the cue pause mode, this function plays the track only so long as the MIXOUT CARD CONTROL block's CUE button is held depressed. This function operates when the source selector is set to CD (SOURCE SELECT [CD] button indicator is lighted). When card mix play is enabled, the MIXOUT CARD CONTROL block's [CUE] button indicator lights. Press the CUE button in the MIXOUT CARD CONTROL block. ÷ Playback will continue as long as the button is held depressed; when the button is released, playback will stop and the player will return to the cue pause mode at the beginning of the track. ÷ By setting a cue point beforehand, you can make playback begin from the cue point when the CUE button is depressed; when the CUE button is released, playback will stop and the player will return to the cue pause mode at the selected cue point.
