6.2.1 Graphic indication of playing time
In addition to the numerical time indication (N),
the bar graph (D) indicates the playing time
graphically by its length, in relation to the title

SINGLE (J)], press the button CONT/ SINGLE (34).
1. For single title replay the unit is always set
to pause at the end of a title.
This mode is specially provided for DJ
applications. After selecting a title, the MP3
player is set to pause precisely on the spot
where the music starts (usually not at the time
index 0 : 00 : 00 but some frames later, e. g.
0 : 00 : 15). This spot is automatically memo-
rized as a starting point (Auto Cue point). On
the display, it is indicated as CUE (I). After
starting the title, press the button CUE (30) to
return to this starting point. After replaying a
title, the unit is set to pause precisely on the
spot where the music of the next title starts.
This spot is then memorized as a new start-
ing point.
2. For continuous replay all titles are played
continuously one after the other, i. e. after the
last title, the first title starts again.
6.4 Replaying only the first few seconds
of a title

keep the button CUE (30) pressed. After releas-
ing the button, the MP3 player returns to the
beginning of the title and is set to pause.
1) Set the player to single title replay: indication
SINGLE (J). If CONTINUE (K) is indicated, press
the button CONT/ SINGLE (34).
2) Select the title (chapter 6.1, steps 4 and 5).
3) When the display shows CUE (I) and the but-
ton CUE is illuminated in red, keep the button
pressed to replay only the first few seconds of
the title.
4) To replay the title, press the button (31).
6.5 Return to a certain spot defined
previously (Cue point)
To quickly return to a certain spot within a title,
memorize a starting point (Cue point) with the
button CUE (30).
1) While replaying, when you have reached the
spot to which you wish to return to later, set
the unit to pause with the button (31).
2) Restart the replay with the button . The
spot is memorized as a Cue point. To con-
firm, the indication AUTO CUE (I) and the but-
ton CUE start flashing twice.
Caution: Do not set the player to pause
again now; otherwise the spot memorized as
a Cue point will be replaced by the spot
where the player was set to pause when the
replay is continued.
3) To return to the Cue point, press the button
CUE. After returning, the button is illuminated
and the display shows CUE (I). The MP3
player is set to pause.
4) Start the replay with the button or keep the
button CUE pressed as long as the title is to
be played. After releasing the button CUE,
the MP3 player returns to the Cue point and
is set to pause.
Note: When you have reached or selected the next title,
the Cue point that has been memorized will be replaced
by the beginning of the next title.
6.6 Effects

BRAKE (37) so that it is illuminated. When a
music piece is replayed and you set the unit

not stopped abruptly, but is braked to a
standstill. When you continue the replay, the
title starts slowly.
2. Reverse: reverse replay
Press the button REVERSE (36) when a title
is replayed.
