3 – Playback operations—Programmed order playback
NOTE
Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the remote control unit. It is not possible to select the playback mode using the main unit alone.
1Press the PLAY MODE key A repeatedly to cycle the display through the following:
•Program (see 3.2, “Programmed order play- back” below). The red PROGRAM display indicator lights in this mode.
•Shuffle (random track order). In this mode, each track is played once before the disc repeats. Using the track search functions will move back- wards or forwards through the random order, e.g. if track 7 is followed by track 10, it is possible to use the track search keys to go back to track 7, which is remembered as being before immediately before track 10. The red SHUFFLE display indicator lights in this mode.
•Continue. Normal playback mode. Pro- gramming is cancelled, and playback continues in the normal order.
The selected mode is shown in large characters and disappears from the display a few seconds after selecting the mode, when the display returns to its previous mode.
3.2 Programmed order playback
The steps to set up to 25 program steps (tracks) to be played back in a specified order are as follows:
1Press the PLAY MODE key A until the display shows Program.
2The display changes to show
0Tr 0:00 00,
meaning that no program steps have yet had tracks assigned to them.
3Use the number keys to enter a track number (including the +10 key to enter values greater than 9, as described in 3.1.2, “Track search”). There is no need to press ENTER.
The track entered is assigned to the program step, and the display changes, showing the track number, the total time of the program so far, and the step number, e.g.
2Tr14:56 03.
4The next program step can then be entered.
NOTE
5Repeat steps 3 and 4 above until the program is complete.
6Press the PLAY key (Hor L) to start playback at the first program step.
The display shows the track, the current time display, and the program step number.
While in programmed playback mode, using the SKIP keys H or the MULTI DIAL control B moves backwards and forwards in the order set in the program.
Use the PAUSE key (I or J) to halt playback tem- porarily or the STOP key (G or I) to stop playback of the program.
If the STOP key is used, when playback is restarted, it starts from the first program step.
Clear the program by pressing PLAY MODE A until the display shows Continue. The program is also cleared when the disc tray is opened, and if the STOP key is pressed when playback is stopped in programmed order mode.
The programmed play order is not memorized when power is turned off.
If an attempt is made to enter more than 25 program steps, the message PGM Full ! appears on the display.
3.3 Repeat play
The unit can repeat the whole of the disc (or pro- gram) or the current track only.
NOTE
Selecting the repeat mode is only possible using the remote control unit. It is not possible to select the repeat mode using the main unit alone.
1The unit should be in playback, pause or stop mode.
2Continue to press the REPEAT key 4 so that
the display shows Repeat 1 (the indicator lights) to repeat one track, or
Repeat ALL (theindicator lights) to repeat the whole disc or program.
3If playback has not started, restart it.
To cancel repeat mode, press the REPEAT key so that the display shows Repeat OFF and the REPEAT indicator goes out.
Steps 3 and 4 above can be carried out from the main unit by turning and pushing the MULTI DIAL control B.
