Mystyler Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Troy - auto pause being when the deck pauses when the source has stopped? If that is it, then it lacks on my PC3 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 The MDS-JB980 has auto pause (not that I use it). They've disabled some other useful features, though, which is annoying... (name copy, AMS track divide). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Does it have smart space and auto cut? On my PC1 deck, if there is silence for 30s or more, smartspace and auto cut kick in, reducing that 30s or more into 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Yep, they've kept that on the 980 at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 I think you guys are confusing Smart Space and Auto Cut (like Me mentioned) with Auto Pause. If "though" meant the feature that is actually called, Auto Pause, that is a feature that goes along with Auto Space and are playback (as opposed to recording) features. Auto Space automatically makes a space of 3 seconds (of silence) after playing each track so if you wanted to record to a cassette tape you'd get the "silence markers" for tape decks with AMS to find the tracks. Auto Pause on the other hand simply puts the deck into pause mode after each track. Once it is in pause you press pause/play to unpause it and it will again pause after the next track is done playing. I don't know what the use of this feature is really but if though says he "needs" it he must know what it's good for! As for adding it to a JE470 I have no idea about that. But did the lower-end 4xx and 3xx series models have this feature and it was just removed on the JE470 was this a comparison to a 500 series or higher unit? Roland M.

though Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 my previous md player (mds-je630) had it. i use it in a live band situation to play back sequences (backup tracks that adds to the full mix). auto pause is a must so i don't have to reach over and hit stop after every song.... any reliable online dealers that sell any of the international models ?!?!?? thanks guys, - troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystyler Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 auto pause is a must so i don't have to reach over and hit stop after every song.... That is the feature I miss most...all the Sharps have it, Panasonics have it and new Sonys have it, but me deck don't! Anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
