PROGRAM PLAY

The CDR 26’s advanced programming system enables you to program the order in which tracks are played, to repeat one track or all tracks, or to repeat any segment of a disc without regard to track numbers.

Programming Playlists

To program the order of playback for the tracks on a disc, insert the disc, let the unit read the Table of Contents information, and wait until the disc has stopped and the number of tracks and total running time is displayed. Next, select the deck that will be programmed by pressing the CDP Select Button

don the remote for the Play Deck 3 or the CDR Select Button ` on the remote for the Record Deck %.

To begin the programming sequence, press the Program Button e on the remote or the Program Button ˝ for the appropriate deck on the front panel. The PROG Indicator I will light and the Information Display Y will show 00 00 : 00.

Next, enter the track numbers to be played by press- ing the Numeric Keys p. For two-digit track num- bers, be certain to enter the second digit within three seconds after the first number is entered. If you are programming your playlist using the front-panel con- trols, use the Previous and Next Track Buttons Ò Ú˘¸ to locate the desired track, then press the Program Button ˝ for the appropriate deck to enter the track into the sequence. As each track is entered, the display will blink three times, alternating between two displays. The first display will show the track number just entered on the left side of the Information Display Y under the Track Time Indicator W, while the right side will flash the number of steps that have been programmed. For example, after programming the first step to be track number 3, the display will flash 03 P-01.

If you make a mistake while programming a track, you may press the Clear Button h to delete the last programmed track.

Alternating with the track number and program step will be a display of the track and the total running time of all tracks that have been programmed so far. For example, a display of 06 11:25 will indicate that track number six was the last track programmed, and that the total time of all tracks so far is 11 minutes and 25 seconds. The Total Time Indicators SV will flash with this display to remind you of the dis- play’s contents.

These displays will alternate three times, and then show a steady display of the total time and last track programmed.

Continue to add tracks in the order you wish to have them played until the programming session is com- plete. You may add up to 20 tracks, repeating a track if desired, as long as the total number does not exceed 20. If you exceed the 20-track limit, the dis- play will read FULL. Tracks may also be added using the Next Ò˘z and Previous Buttons Ú¸f to locate the track, and the Program Button e to enter that track to the programmed sequence.

When the complete list of tracks has been entered, press the Play Button Ó 35 j. The tracks will then play in the order they have been entered. Note that a programmed list of tracks may also be recorded if the disc being programmed is in the Play Deck 3. Follow the instructions on page 20 for complete information on recording and dubbing.

Once you have programmed a playlist it will remain in the unit’s memory until the disc is removed or the unit is turned off. Thus, if you play through a programmed list, simply press the Play Button Ó 35 j again to replay the list.

To cancel an entire program list while the program is playing, press the Program Button ˝e and note that the Program Indicator I will go out. To remove a total program list when the disc is stopped, simply open and close the disc drawer. Whenever a disc is removed or the unit is turned off, the program list is erased.

Repeat Play

The CDR 26’s programming system enables you to repeat a single track on a disc, the entire disc or a specially programmed passage that you select. To repeat all discs, use the Continuous Play mode and press the Stop Button ( 36 v after the desired number of repetitions has played. (See page 17 for more information on the Continuous Play mode.)

Repeat One Track

To repeat the track you are currently listening to, press the Repeat Button g and note that the Repeat Indicator F and the Repeat Status Indicator H will both light to display Repeat 1. If the track is changed by using the Next/Previous Skip Button ÒÚ˘¸fz while the Repeat 1 mode is active, the new track will now be repeated.

Once Repeat 1 playback has been started, it will con- tinue until the unit is stopped by pressing the Stop Button ( 36 v, or the disc deck is opened by pressing the appropriate Open/Close Button

6$c 28 . When playback is stopped, the Repeat sequence is erased and must be reentered if you wish to repeat a track on another disc.

Repeat All Tracks

To repeat all the tracks on a disc in order, press the Repeat Button g twice while the disc is playing and note that the Repeat Indicator F and the ALL Repeat Status Indicator H will light. Once the Play Button Ó35 j is pressed, the disc will play through from beginning to end continuously, until the Stop Button ( 36 v is pressed. The Repeat All function may be cancelled at any time by pressing the Repeat Button g once until both the Repeat Indicator F and ALL Repeat Status Indicator H go out. The Repeat All function is also canceled when the disc drawer is opened.

Repeat A-B

The CDR 26 may be programmed to repeat any section within a track, or a complete passage that includes material from a series of consecutive tracks.

To program the unit for A-B Repeat play, first play the disc and locate the point where you wish to begin the repeated section. At the start point, press the A-B Repeat Button y and note that the Repeat Indicator F will light and the Repeat Status Indicator H will show an A and flash. Let the disc play until the point at which the section to be repeated will end. At that end point, press the A-B Repeat Button y again and note that the Repeat Status Indicator H will stop flashing and will light, showing REPEAT A-B.

The unit will immediately begin to play the section you have programmed, and continually repeat it.

To resume normal play, press the A-B Repeat Button y. The Repeat A-B Indicators FH will go out, and the disc will continue playing through to the end.

Stopping the disc or opening the disc drawer will auto- matically cancel the Repeat A-B programming.
