Abstract

A method for operating cue points on a lighting ring of a digital multimedia audio player is revealed. A lighting ring for showing data related to digital music playing now is disposed around a turntable of a multimedia audio player. The lighting ring is arranged with a plurality of visual markers at important cue points by DJs for producing special sound effects while one of the cue point markers is set at a position that matches DJs' operation way and this is the position of an active cue point. Thereby during operation of the multimedia audio player, the obvious markers at the cue points allow DJs to operate the device easily and conveniently. Moreover, the active cue point can be set and adjusted according to different operation ways of DJs. Thus the present invention provides DJs with an intuitive reminder and convenient operation on the vision and the operational control.
