Playing MDs
Fade-out playback
During playback, press FADE at the position where
you want fade-out playback to start.
"FADE OUT" flashes in the display and the deck
performs fade-out recording until the counter reaches
"0.0s."
The deck changes to play pause when fade-out
playback finishes.
Note on the peak level meters display during fade-
in/fade-out playback
The peak level meters show the level of the original
signal (input from the LINE(ANALCXl) IN connectors
or output to the LlNEfANALOG ) OUT connectors and
the PHONES connector). Therefore, the level shown
on the meters does not increase or decrease ever as the
output fades in or out.
You can set the duration of fade-in and fade-out
playback independently
Do Steps 1 to 5 in "You can set the duration of the fade-
in and fade-out recording independently" on page 18.
You can select the type of increment/decrement
curve for fade-in/fade-out recording
Do Steps 1 to 4 in "You can select the type of
increment/decrement curve for fade-in/fade-out
recording" on page 18.
Playing an MD Using a Timer

can start and stop playback operations at specified

playback, the deck turns off. When the specified
time arrives, the deck turns on and starts
playing.

playback, playback continues. When the
specified time arrives, the deck stops playing
and turns off.

Note
You can select Program Play in Step 2. Note, however, that
programs eventually fade away when the standby status is
off, and therefore if you set the time too far in the future, the
program may be gone when the specified time arrives. If
this has occurred, the deck enters normal play mode at the
specified time and the tracks play in consecutive order.
