Time Search function

By specifying time from the start of a certain track, you can start playback from a speciﬁed point of a speciﬁed track.

Basic operation

1During stop, play or playback standby modes, use the number keys on the remote control to input the three-digit track number (such as 002 for track 2), then the desired elapsed time (***min **sec) from the start of that track.

Example: To specify 1 min 30 sec from the start of track 2, input “002 001 30”

NOTE

For MP3 discs, time cannot be speciﬁed within a track. However, if you input the three-digit track number, playback will begin from the start of that track.

During input, the counter in the display will ﬂash.

Regardless of the time display mode, the time from the start of the speciﬁed track is displayed.
