• "Cueing" is the action of moving to a specified point (the cue point) and waiting for playback to begin (cue mode).
When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed after cueing, playback starts immediately. (Instant Start)
When the track search operation is completed after pressing the TRACK buttons, the player locates the position at
which the sound starts and automatically cues there. (Cue to Music)
• If the CUE button is pressed during the search operation with the jog dial or the scanning operation with the shuttle
dial, the point at which the button is pressed is set as the cue point and cueing starts.
Figure 14 shows the relationship between the play and back cue operations.

Searching
Searching is the function which allows you to continuously monitor a certain section of the disc and manually
change the playback position in small increments. Searching is used to set playback start points and loop points
with precision.
• Turn the jog dial while in the play, pause or cue mode to begin searching. The sound for one revolution of the disc is
output repeatedly. The point at which the sound starts (the search point) is indicated on the LCD.
• When the jog dial is turned, the point from which the sound is output moves a number of frames corresponding to
the number of clicks, and the time display on the LCD also changes.
• The FINE button selects the resolution of the jog dial. When the FINE indicator is lit, the disc moves 1 frame for each
click, and when it is off, the disc moves 10 frames with each click.
• The search point moves in the forward direction when the jog dial is turned clockwise, in the reverse direction when
the jog dial is turned counterclockwise.
