Playback position and setting

Playback position and setting will remain the same as long as the iPod stays connected to EA1251. If the iPod is disconnected, playback position will return to the default playback setting.

Discs 2 to Discs 6 are assigned for 5 acceptable playlists.

Other playlist will not be assigned and can only be played under DISC1.

EA1251 can search up to about 400 playlists. If there are more than 400, the main unit might not response to iPod and displays ER2. If so, reduce iPod playlists numbers.
