Newly added auto cue function
About the auto cue function
When the auto cue function is enabled, selecting a file using the file selection screen (or using the / keys)
automatically puts the unit in standby mode at the first point in a file where the signal exceeds a certain threshold or at the
"BS$START" point in the cue list.
Using the "Auto cue" menu item in the "PLAY SETUP" menu of the MENU mode, y ou can select auto cue "Off", auto cue at
the first audio point in a file, or auto cue at the "BS$START" point (b y default, the auto cue function is "Off").
The audio detection threshold (used for auto cue at the first audio point) is set at the "-54" (dB) by default, which can be
changed using the newly added "Auto cue lvl" menu item in the "PLAY SETUP" men u. In addition, the upgraded UR-2 can
fine-adjust the "BC$START" and "BC$END" points using the digital scrub function that has been newly added to the CUE
editing screen (see page 8 of this supplement).
* The "BC$STAR T" point is the label of the CUE you set for the first time, while the "BC$END" point is the label of the CUE you set
for the second time. Both CUE labels are reserved f or the BWF-J standard. Each label is automatically giv en when you set the CU E
for the first or second time. For details how to set a CUE, see page 35 of the owner's manual.
Enabling the auto cue function
(1) While the unit is stopped (or during playback), press
the [ENTER] key to enter the MENU mode.
(2) Use the [MENU] dial to highlight the "PLAY SETUP"
and press the [ENTER] key.
Now you can select a menu item in the "PLAY SETUP"
menu.
(3) Use the [MENU] dial to highlight the "Auto cue" item
and press the [ENTER] key.
The current auto cue setting starts flashing (by
default, "Off" starts flashing)
You can enable the auto cue function by selecting
"LVL" or "CUE". The auto cue function is performed
in the following manner depending on the selection.
When you select a file, the unit enters standby
mode at the first point in a file where the signal
exceeds a certain threshold. Pressing the [PLAY]
key instantly starts playback of audio (see the
memos below).
<Memo>: When you set the "Auto cue" item
to "L VL", y ou can choose the audio threshold
level. See "Setting the auto cue level" in the
LVL
next page for details.
<Memo>: By connecting a USB keyboard
to the unit, you can select between "LVL" and
"Off" from the keyboard without the need of
entering the MENU mode. When the "Auto
cue" item is set to "Off", pressing the [F2] key
switches from "Off" to "LVL". When the "Auto
cue" item is set to "L VL", pressing the [SHIFT]
and [F2] keys switches from "LVL" to "Off".
When you select a file, the unit enters standby
mode at the "BS$START" point specified in the
CUE list. If you press the [PLAY] k e y in this condition, the unit starts playback from the
"BC$START" point to the "BC$END" point, and
then automatically skips back to the "BC$ST AR T"
point and enters standby mode (see also the
CUE
<Note> below).

auto play function).
