USING THE PLAYLIST

This unit allows the user to prerecord desired tracks in a playlist, thus allowing quick track selection even when using large- capacity discs and USB storage devices.

Up to 20 playlists can be constructed, and each playlist can record up to 150 tracks from multiple USB storage devices and CD-ROM/ DVD-ROM discs.

MEMO

•Music CD (CD-DA) tracks and DJ software tracks (including DJS) cannot be recorded on a playlist.

•Once recorded, a playlist remains in memory even when the power is turned off, so that it can be reused later.
