CD Special Features, Repeat Playback | Musical Fidelity CD Pre24

REPEAT PLAYBACK

The REPEAT button on the remote control allows the repeated playback of either one track or all tracks on the disc.

By pressing the REPEAT button once, you can repeat the entire disc (or the pro- grammed selections - see page 14) over and over again. Large letters REPEAT briefly replace track, index and time information followed by a smaller, permanent REPEAT legend underneath.

If the REPEAT button is pressed a second time, only the current track is repeated. Large letters REPEAT 1 briefly replace track, index and time information followed by a REPEAT 1 legend underneath.

Pressing REPEAT a third time cancels repeat mode. Graphics REPEAT OFF then briefly replace track, index and time infor- mation before reverting to a normal disc play display.

A-B REPEAT PLAYBACK

“A-B repeat” provides the option of playing just a certain section of the disc over and over again.

Find the beginning of the required section either by listening, or using the display time as a guide. When the desired starting point is reached, press button A/B on the remote control. The display will show REPEAT and the flashing letter A.

When the disc has reached the end of the required section, press the A-Bbutton again. Letters A-B will now be illuminated in the display, and the unit continuously plays the selected part of the disc.

To cancel A-B repeat mode, press REPEAT on the remote control. Graphics REPEAT OFF then briefly replace track, index and time information in the display.

CD - SPECIAL FEATURES

SHUFFLE PLAYBACK

The SHUFFLE feature allows tracks on the discs to be played in random sequence rather than the normal consecutive order. Tracks are also played in a different order each time the disc is restarted, or another disc loaded.

This function is obtained by pressing SHUFFLE on the remote control with the unit either stopped or playing.

If playing, the word SHUFFLE in large let- ters briefly replaces track, index and time display information, before a permanent red indication provides a reminder that the func- tion has been activated.

From stop mode, pressing PLAY/PAUSE also begins shuffle play.

If the CD Pre24 is already playing, play will continue until either the current track has finished, or either the track >> button on the remote control or NEXT on the unit is pressed. Shuffle play is then further con- firmed by the track number display digits briefly changing into segments revolving in a box formation.

If the SHUFFLE button is now pressed for a second time, the word CONTINUE briefly replaces track, index and time display infor- mation. The unit then resumes normal play function, except that it now only plays pre- viously unplayed tracks of the current disc, unless others are then manually selected. Shuffle play is cancelled by pressing the STOP button.
