Cueing Decks to Play or Record
You can play and record on units without cueing them. There is, however, a good chance

You can avoid these problems by cueing the units for playing or recording.
To cue a clip for playback, enter the following:
CUE unit-name
To cue a clip for recording, enter the following:
CUER unit-name
The following optional CUE and CUER arguments specify the segment of media to play,
the direction of play, and how many times the segment is played:
CUE unit-name in-point out-point direction number-of-passes
Values for direction include FWD (forward), BWK (backward), F/B (play forward and then
play backwards), and B/F (play backward and then play forward).
