Loop playback
Use this function to loop playback of any section of 
an audio CD between set IN and OUT points.
The following procedure explains how to set and play 
a loop section with starting (IN) and ending (OUT) 
points.
Canceling Hot Cue points
Cancel a Hot Cue point by pressing its 
HOT CUE/
CLEAR
 key while holding down the 
SHIFT
 key.
Opening the CD cover also cancels the Hot Cue 
points.
Flash Start 
Use the 
HOT CUE
 keys for instant playback from 
their cue points when the Flash Start function is on.
Turn the Flash Start function on and off with the 
Setup menu FLASH item (the default setting is on).
When Flash Start is on, the 
FLS indicator appears on 
the display.
Setting the IN point
Press the 
IN
 key while the CD is playing or paused. 
The 
IN
 key will light up and the 
OUT
 key will flash.
Press the 
OUT
 key while the CD is playing or 
paused. The 
IN
OUT
 and 
RE-LOOP/EXIT
 keys will 
all light up.
Loop playback will start immediately if the OUT 
point is set while the CD is playing.
Setting the OUT point while the CD is paused moves 
the pause position to the IN point. Push the 
PLAY/
PAUSE
 key to begin loop playback.
During loop playback, as soon as the OUT point 
is reached, playback restarts instantly from the IN 
point.
NOTE
The OUT point can only be set at a time following 
the IN point.
The OUT point can be set to create a loop that 
spans more than one track.
Setting the OUT point
Press the 
RE-LOOP/EXIT
 key during loop playback 
to exit the loop mode and resume normal playback. 
The key's light will turn off, but the loop IN and 
OUT points will not be cancelled.
Using a 
SKIP
CUE
 or 
HOT CUE
 key to set the cur-
rent location outside the looped section will also exit 
loop playback mode. The 
RE-LOOP/EXIT
 key light 
will turn off, but the loop points will not be canceled.
Canceling loop playback
When Flash Start is off, you can jump to a Hot Cue 
point and pause playback by pressing a 
HOT CUE
 
key. If you press and hold down that 
HOT CUE
 key 
again, playback continues from that HOT Cue point 
until you release the key.
When you release the 
HOT CUE 
key, playback paus-
es and the playback position is reset at the Hot Cue 
point. Hot Cue points can be confirmed using this 
function.
To resume normal playback, press the 
PLAY/PAUSE
 
key during playback while holding down a
