When used with MP3 file discs, depending on the Setup menu FOLDER setting, the SKIP keys cycle through either all the tracks on the disc or only the tracks in the currently selected folder. Regardless of

the FOLDER setting, however, pressing a SKIP (µ/ ≤) key while holding down the SHIFT key skips between folders.

Track search

Depending on the Setup menu SRCH KEY setting, use either the JOG dial or the SEARCH (∆/˚) keys to search tracks.

When the SRCH KEY setting is SRCH, hold down a SEARCH (∆ or ˚) key while the CD is playing or paused to search through the track. The ˚key searches forward and the ∆ key searches backward.

When the SRCH KEY setting is BEND, turn the JOG dial during playback to search the track. Turn clock- wise to search forward and counterclockwise to search backward.

Turning the JOG dial while the CD is paused allows scrub playback.

Auto Cue

If the Auto Cue function is on when a track is select- ed, the pause position will be set at the first moment of sound rather than the start of the track. This allows the music on the selected track to be heard immediately when the PLAY/PAUSE key is pressed if there is silence at the start of the track.

Turn this function on and off using the Setup menu AUTO CUE item.

The A.CUE indicator appears on the display when the Auto Cue function is on.

Auto Ready

When the Auto Ready function is on, after a track finishes playing, playback will pause at the start of the next track.

NOTE

If the Auto Cue function is also on, playback will pause at the first moment of sound rather than the start of the next track.

Turn this function on and off using the Setup menu AUTO RDY item.

The A.RDY indicator appears on the display when the Auto Ready function is on.

CD text data display

Press the TIME/ENTER/TITLE key while holding down the SHIFT key to change the information dis- played when using discs with CD text data.
