Program Play

The CDR 2’s advanced programming system enables you to preset 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 Play Lists

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 d on the remote for the Play Deck 3 or the CDR Select button

29on the remote for the Record Deck %.

To begin the programming sequence, press the Program button e and note that the PROG Indicator B will illuminate and the Information Display K will show 00 00 : 00.

Next, enter the track numbers to be played by pressing the Numeric Keys p. For two-digit track numbers, be certain to enter the second digit within three seconds after the first number is entered. 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 K under the Track Indicator O, while the right side will flash the number of steps that have been pro- grammed. For example, after programming the first step to be track number 3, the display will flash 03 P-01.

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 NL will flash with this display to remind you of the display’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 ses-

sion is complete. 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 display will read FULL. Tracks may also be added using the Next zîö and Previous buttons iï÷ 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 j*ù. 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.

Checking, Editing and Clearing

Programmed Play Lists

Once you have entered a program list 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 program list, simply press the Play button j*ù again to replay the list. If you find that you wish to check the list or make changes, that is also possible by following a few simple steps.

To scroll through a program list, press the Program Check button h. Each press of the button will move through the tracks that have been programmed. The display will alternate between the track number of the program step number (e.g. 12 P-03 tells you that track

12 on the disc is the 3rd program step) and the track number and the total running time so far in the program (e.g. 12 16:04 tells you that at this point you have programmed a total of 16 minutes and 4 seconds of material).

At any point in the list you may insert a new track by simply entering the track number using the Numeric Keys p. Simply press the but- tons that correspond to the number of the track you wish to add. Any tracks that are in the pro- gram will remain.

To remove a step in the program, first use the Program Check button h to locate the track you wish to delete. Next, press the Clear button 33 . The information in the display will blink and the step will be removed from the program list. Program steps need not be deleted

in any order; as long as you have located a step in the program list, it may be erased.

To cancel an entire program list while the pro- gram is playing, press the Program button

eand note that the Program Indicator B 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 Programmed Play

The CDR 2’s programming system enables you to repeat either a single track on a disc, the entire disk, or a specially programmed passage that you select.

Repeat One Track

To repeat the track you are currently listening to, press the Repeat button r and note that the Repeat Indicator D and the Repeat- Status Indicator E will both light 1. If the track is changed by using the Next/Previous Skip button izîïö÷ while the Repeat 1 mode is active, the new track will now be repeated.

Once Repeat 1 playback has been started, it will continue until the unit is stopped by press- ing the Stop button x&ü, or the disc deck is opened by pressing the appropriate Open/Close button 7$c 30 . 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 r twice while the disc is playing and note that the Repeat Indicator

Dand the ALL Repeat-Status Indicator

E will light. Once the Play button j*ù is pressed, the disc will play through from beginning to end continually, until the Stop button x&ü is pressed. The Repeat All function may be cancelled at any time by press- ing the Repeat button r once until both the Repeat Indicator D and ALL Repeat- Status Indicators E go out. The Repeat All Function is also canceled when the disc drawer is opened.
