Programming a Playlist

Programmed play allows you to select chapters, up to 99 tracks or files on a disc, memory card (DVD 49 only) or USB drive (DVD 49 only) for playback in a specific order, skipping selections you don’t wish to hear and reordering others to suit your tastes.

The method for programming a play list differs depending on the media type. For DVDs and VCDs, the Play Mode Menu is used. For audio CDs and data files, the Control Commands sec- tion of the Contents Menu is used.

Programming a Playlist From a DVD or

VCD

You may program a play list from a DVD Audio or Video disc, or from a Video CD, by following these steps:

Step One: Making sure that the Disc Player has been selected as the media source and with the disc loaded, press the Stop Button to make sure the disc is stopped.

Step Five: Use the Numeric Keys to enter the title number containing the first selection, and press the N Button to move the cursor to the Chapter column. It is not necessary to use the OK Button.

Step Six: Use the Numeric Keys to enter the number of the first chapter you would like to program into your play list.

NOTE: For DVD Audio and SACD (DVD 49 only) discs, the Title and Chapter column headings will be replaced by Group and Track headings. For VCDs, a single column labeled Track will appear.

Step Seven: Use the Navigation Buttons to move the cursor to the Title column of the sec- ond step in the play list, and program the sec- ond selection as you did in Steps Five and Six.

Step Eight: When you have finished program- ming all steps in your play list, use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the cell labeled “Play N” on the left side of the Play Mode Menu. Press either the OK Button or the Play Button to begin play of your play list.

Step One: Since play will automatically stop when you begin programming the play list, it is not necessary to stop play. Use the Navigation Buttons to move the on-screen cursor to the Control Commands side of the screen. See Figure 11a (CD Control Commands).

Step Two: Use the L Button to scroll down to the Edit Mode line, and press the OK Button to change the Edit Mode setting to On. See Figure 11b (Edit Mode Setting).

During playback of a programmed list you may use the Previous and Next Buttons to move through the tracks in the play list in programmed order.

If you wish to play the disc in its native order, press the Play Mode Button and change the Mode setting to Normal.

NOTE: With Edit Mode turned on, you will not be able to navigate through a hierarchy of fold- ers on a data disc, other than scrolling through items in the current folder view. To resume navi- gation, for example if you wish to add items from different folders to your play list, remember to change the Edit Mode setting to Off, and then return it to On when you are ready to select tracks or files.
