Modes of Operation

There are five modes of operation: ONE, 1 DISC, 1 DISC INTRO, ALL, and ALL INTRO. Pressing the MODE button will cycle the CDC-3 between these modes under certain circumstances. The modes only affect regular playback operation, random playback, and intro playback. They have no impact on programming.

ALL - When selected, this mode will result in the playback of every disc currently installed in the CDC-3, beginning with whichever disc is currently selected and continuing through all discs installed. If no disc is installed in a particular tray, the CDC-3 will skip that particular tray and con- tinue onto the next one. Once all installed discs have played, the CDC-3 will stop playing unless the REPEAT function is activated.

ALL INTRO - In this mode, the CDC-3 will play a 10-second preview of each track on every disc installed.

1 DISC - This mode limits playback operation to only the disc currently selected. Once that par- ticular disc is finished, the CDC-3 will stop playing. See Random Play Function, Introduction Function, and Repeat Function for further information on how 1 DISC affects those functions.

1 DISC INTRO - In this mode, the CDC-3 will play a 10-second preview of each track on the disc selected.

ONE - This mode is only applicable when using the REPEAT function. When REPEAT is selected and the mode ONE is selected, the CDC-3 will repeat a single track over and over again.
