Navigation of
Discs
The Ayre C-5xeMPuniversal stereo player will play every currently available audio disc format. Each type of music disc has a structure to aid in navigation, that is, locating and playing the desired music on each disc. While there is an overall similarity, each disc format utilizes a different navigational structure. Understanding the underlying navigational structure of each type of discs will allow for greater ease of use.
CD
The navigational structure of a CD is so intuitive that we often take it for granted. The music on each disc is broken up into numbered tracks. For popular music each track typically contains one song. For classical music each track typically contains either one shorter composition or one movement of a longer composition. Navigation of a CD is simple and straightforward.
