Programming a Playlist

Programmed play allows you to select tracks on a CD for playback in a specific order, skipping tracks you don’t wish to hear and reordering other tracks to suit your tastes.

To program a disc for playback, follow these steps:

1.Load the desired disc, but stop play if it begins automatically. Playlists may only be programmed in Stop mode.

2.Press the Info Button to display the PLAYER INFORMATION menu. Use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the icon for the PROGRAM submenu, and press the Enter Button to display it.

3.Use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons to highlight the Playlist setting. Press the Enter Button so that the setting changes to Programmed Order and a grid of program steps appears on the bottom of the screen (see Figure 54).

3.Press the Info Button and navigate to the PROGRAM submenu, as described above in Step 2 of the instructions for programming a playlist. With the Playlist setting highlighted, press the Enter Button until the setting reads Disc’s Order.

4.At this time the playlist will simply contain the tracks in the disc’s order. Thus, Step P01 will display track 1 from the disc, Step P02 will display track 2 from the disc, and so forth. The track assigned to Step P01 will be highlighted. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the number of the track on the disc which you wish to hear first in your playlist. When you have finished entering it, press the › Navigation Button to move to Step P02.

5.Continue entering the disc track numbers into the desired program step positions. You need not do so in step order; you may use the Navigation Buttons to navigate to any step in the list.

6.Press the Clear Button to remove a track from the playlist.

7.Although you may enter fewer programmed steps in your list than the number of tracks on the disc, you may not repeat tracks within the list. However, while the playlist is playing, the normal Repeat functions will be available.

8.When you have finished entering all of the tracks in your playlist, press the Play Button to begin playback of your programmed list.

During programmed play the track number shown in the front-panel display will reflect its normal order on the disc. However, the Program Indicator will light to remind you that the disc’s tracks are playing in programmed order.

To cancel programmed play, stop play and perform one of these steps:

1.Open the Disc Drawer.

2.Press the Playlist Button. The Playlist Banner will appear on screen. Each press of the Playlist Button will toggle the mode between programmed order and disc order.
