1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
AUTO CUE mode
AUTO CUE mode pauses the MD deck when it detects
a rise in the audio signal following the inaudible
portion before the start of a track. This mode is good
for playing special sound effects in theater
productions, etc.
NEXT TRACK SELECT function
During single-deck operations, you can specify the
next track to be played as you are playing another one.
Single track play
No matter what the cueing mode may be, you can
always play back single tracks. After playing a single
track, the deck stops rather than pauses, thus
preventing the mistaken playback of another track.
Playback display variations
The MDS-B5 displays track information (playing time,
track title, etc.) for the current and the next tracks that
have been selected for playback. By pressing the
DISPLAY button, you can display the following track
information:
• Remaining playing time and title of the current track
• Elapsed time and title of the current track
• Remaining playing time of the current track and a list
of programmed tracks during Program Play or Instant
Playback.
• Playing time and title of the next track
Rehearsal function
You can play back a portion of a track repeatedly in
order to precisely determine points for cueing or track
division. You can also use the Setup menu to specify
the length of the portion to be repeated and the interval
between the end of one repeat and the start of another.
RAM Edit function
You can do temporary editing, such as dividing,
combining, and moving the tracks on the MD, without
overwriting the TOC information. The results of the
RAM edit function will be lost when the MiniDisc is
ejected. You can use the RAM edit function on pre-
mastered MDs.
Program Play information recording
You can record the playback order of up to 25 tracks
for the Program Play function in the TOC on
recordable discs, even when the “PROGRAM”
indication does not appear in the display.
UNDO function
You can undo the last editing operation (e.g., when
you have mistakenly erased a track).
LevelSync function
The LevelSync function adds a track number whenever
the audio signal rises above a threshold level during
recording (except for digital recording from a CD or
MD).
You can use the Setup menu to define the length of an
inaudible portion and the threshold level. You can
also specify a margin between the threshold point and
the writing of the track number.
End-of-message (EOM) function
This function outputs a tally signal from the
REMOTE(25P) connector before the end of a track or
the disc.
You can use the Setup menu to specify how far in
advance of the end the tally signal is output.
Cue point function
This function outputs a tally signal from the
REMOTE(25P) connector whenever a cue point is
detected during playback. Up to 255 cue points can be
marked per disc.
