Various playback functions
This section explains the various playback functions offered by the MD4S.
Play forward/backward at various speeds (Cue/Review)
During playback, you can operate the CURSOR shuttle to play forward (cue) or backward
(review) at various speeds. This is a convenient way to find the desired location within a song.
1. Press the PLAY button to begin playback.
2. Move the CURSOR shuttle to right or left to Cue or Review.
The cue/review speed will depend on the angle to which you move the CURSOR shuttle.

3. If you press the ENTER button while using cue/review, the cue/review will be
locked (fixed).
Cue/review will continue even if you release the CURSOR shuttle. When you press the PLAY
button, cue/review will be canceled, and normal playback will resume from that location. If
cue/review reaches the beginning or end of the song, it will stop.
Note: It is not possible to move directly from normal playback to 1/2X speed cue. You must
move the CURSOR shuttle toward the right to select 2X cue or faster, and then return the
CURSOR shuttle to the 1/2X speed cue position.
Note: When 1/2X speed cue is used, the playback pitch will be one octave lower than normal.
(This is the same effect as the 1/2X speed playback explained below.) However, the pitch will
not change for cue/review at other speeds.
