playback mode.

Press repeatedly to switch between the three play modes:

•You can also start playback using the 6button on the 3-CD changer side. Playback will start from whichever CD SELECT button is lit.

Starting playback with a timer

You can use this unit with a standard audio timer to start playback at a set time. Simply load a disc (or discs) and set the timer. When power is restored to this unit by the timer, playback will start automatically in the default ALL mode. Playback starts with the CD selected (shown in the display) when the unit was last turned off.

•Before setting the timer, make sure that all discs loaded into the changer have been read by the unit (wait for the TOC READ message to disappear).
