What does CUE mean?
The CUE feature allows you to listen to the recorded sound while fast-forwarding (or reversing) the audio tape. Usually the playback head doesn’t touch the tape while doing this but for CUE-ing the playback head will touch the tape so the recorded sound can be heard and a specific location in the recorded sound can be found easily. Some decks support different CUE speeds so the location can be found even more precise.
