Track

Suppose you want to listen to a specific track, but don't know where it is on the disc. You could use the track skip controls

and listen to the beginning of each track until you find the one you're looking for. But there's a better way: the highlight scan.

This feature autonnatically plays 10 seconds of each track on the disc in turn, nnissing out the first nninute of each track. You

can use this feature while a disc is playing, or when it's stopped.

Press HI-LITE.

The HI-LITE indicator in the display lights and highlight scan starts.

❖ If a track is shorter than a nninute, then the first 10 seconds of the

track is played.

❖ If you're playing the disc in random or program play mode and press

HI-LITE, those modes are cancelled and highlight scan starts.

When you recognize the track you want to play in

full, press ► (play).

Highlight scan mode is cancelled, the recorder finds the beginning of the

current track and normal playback starts.

Scanning a Long-Play Disc

There may be times when you'd like to be able to record continuously for longer than the usual 74 minutes that MD provides

for. The MJ-D508 has a long-play mode that doubles the available recording time on a disc at the cost of stereo recording.

However, if you're recording a speech or an interview, for example, this is unlikely to be a great loss.

As an added bonus, recordings made in long-play mode (see page 30 for how to do this) can be scanned at double speed to

find a certain place on the disc. Again, this is probably most useful when listening back to speech, which can usually still be

understood at double speed.

During playback, press REC/PLAY MODE.

Turn the jog dial until the display reads

Mono Normal.

You'll only see this option if the track currently playing is recorded in

mono long-play mode.

Press the jog dial (ENTER) to switch to Mono Fast.

Further presses switches between Mono Normal and Mono Fast.

If the recorder runs into a stereo recording on the disc, the scanning

mode is immediately canceled.

❖ You can't use the scanning mode in random, highlight, repeat or

medley modes.
