CD-601MKII/RC-601MKII Quick Start Guide »
This Quick Start Guide describes the basic operation of the
CD-601MKII CD player.
By c o n necting the R C -601MKII re m o t e control un i t
to t h e CD-601M K I I , you can e n hance the f u nctions.
However, you can carry out the basic operation from the
CD-601MKII panel.
About the "Online" and "Monitor"
playback
The C D - 601M K I I pro v i d es t w o differ e n t pla y b ack
conditions: "online" and "monitor" playback.
According to our basic design concept, online playback is
used for on-the-air or an actual performance, while monitor
playback is used for cueing or checking audio before online
playback.
The BALANCED analog and AES/EBU digital outputs
are designed for online pla y b a c k o u t p u t s , w h i l e t h e
UNBALANCED analog and SPDIF digital outputs are
originally designed for monitor playback outputs.
Playback and pause keys for
"online" and "monitor" playback
The CD-601MKII, as well as the RC-601MKII, provides
independent keys for "online" and "monitor" playback.
However, by default, both online and monitor playback
signals are output from all the CD-601MKII outputs. Using
th e men u sys tem, you c an make the on-l ine p layba ck
signals to be output from the BALANCED analog and
AES/EBU digital outputs only, and/or make the monitor
playback signals to be output from the UNBALANCED
analog and SPDIF digital outputs only.
For Monitor playback
On t h e CD-601M K I I , use the P L AY / PAUSE key for
playback or pause (pressing the key alternates between
these conditions).
On the RC-601MKII, use the MONITOR key for playback
and the PAUSE key for pause.
For Online playback
Use the ON LINE key for playback and the READY key
for pause (both the CD-601MKI and RC-601MKII provide
these keys).
• You ca n s t ar t " o nli n e" pl a yb a ck on l y w he n t h e
CD-601MKII is "READY" (unless you turn off the fail
safe mode via the menu system).
• You can stop "online" playback only by pressing the
STOP key.
The point to which the CD-601MKII locates when pressing
the READY key depends on the current transport status.
• While monitor-paused: the current point
• While stopped or monitor-playing: The point where you
started monitor playback from monitor-pause status most
recently.

Connection
If you have the RC-601MKII remote control unit, connect
the PLAYER UNIT port on the RC-601MKII rear panel
to the REMOTE (SERIAL) port on the CD-601MKII rear
panel using the cable supplied with the RC-601MKII.
• Ma k e audio connect i on betw e en the C D-601MK I I
outputs and an external audio device.
As described above, by default, both online and monitor
playback signals are output from all the outputs. Therefore,
you simply use the appropriate output connector(s) on the
CD-601MKII that match the connector(s) of the external
device.
