When the location pointis reached, playback will start automatically. How-ever, if the PLAY key is pressed before the locationpoint is reached, the unit will stop locating and startplaying.DEFERRED : The unit will stop after location iscompleted. However, if the PLAY key is pressedwhile the unit is locating, the PLAY indicator willash, and playback will start when the location pointis reached. NOTEBecause an open MMC connection cannotdetermine when the locate point has beenreached, deferred play is not possible for amachine controlled in this way. This alsoapplies to ADAT units connected through theIF-LP4000 interface.IMMEDIATE : The unit will stop after location iscompleted. If the PLAY key is pressed while the unitis locating, the machine will go straight into playmode, without locating.9.2.3 Cueing Mode“Cueing mode” here means that if the controlleddevice is in play mode, and either of the fast transportkeys (forward or rewind) is pressed, the fast transportmode is not latched and the unit will be in cue mode(i.e. when the fast transport key is released, the unitwill go back into play mode).
