The controls button on the operational display brings up a menu of controls, including repeat mode, shuffle, time display, and program.

Pressing the repeat mode button on the controls menu displays a screen on which you may select any of the three repeat modes available: no repeat, repeat track, and repeat disc. (If you have created a program, repeat disc will repeat the program.)

Pressing shuffle on the controls menu will engage the shuffle mode, which shuffles the playback order of the tracks on the current CD.

Pressing the time display button on the controls menu presents a screen with four possible selections for how the current time of the disc playing is displayed: elapsed on track, elapsed on disc, remaining on track, remaining on disc.

Pressing the program button on the controls menu takes you to the programming screen.

When you first load a CD, the default program for the disc is to play all the tracks in their normal order (as you might expect). This is shown on the programming screen as a list consisting of track 1 followed by track 2, track 3, and so on. A sequence number appears to the left of each track, indicating its place in the playlist.

The CDP-502 is capable of storing thousands of playlists.

If there is a song on the disc that you prefer to skip over, simply scroll to the track in question by pressing the up or down arrows along the right side, and then press the large button with the track number you do not want to hear. It will no longer be highlighted, indicating that it has been removed from the playlist for that CD. You can repeat this process for as many tracks as you would like to delete.

If you want to create a completely different order in which the songs are played, turn off the highlighting for all the tracks by touching each of their buttons

in turn. Then highlight the tracks one at a time, in your desired order. The CDP-502 will build a new playlist based on your preferred sequence.

To remove a playlist, simply deselect all tracks and press the save button.
