KW250S

CD SPECIAL FEATURES

Continue entering track numbers in the same way up to

a maximum of 25. If more than 25 tracks are attempted the memory will not accept any extra ones, and the display reverts to “prog 1”.

Remember that when entering a single-digit track number, there is a delay of about two seconds before the display accepts the entry - this is to allow time for a second button to be pressed when a double-digit number is required.

If an incorrect entry is made, say track 99 when there are only 7 tracks available on the disc, a brief error message is displayed

INVALID TRACK program 2 track 9

If at any time you wish to add a track to the list, press the CLEAR button to obtain the next step number. Alternatively, to delete a previous entry, press CLEAR a second time to remove the last entry. Repeated pressing of CLEAR will then erase each step in reverse order. So to delete an entire program sequence from the memory, press CLEAR repeatedly until “prog 1” is shown in the display.

When the last track number has been entered, press PROGRAM a final time, then the PLAY button to start the program sequence.

If you wish to check the selection before playing back your program, the CHECK button can be pressed to step through each program entry in turn.

If during this check sequence the PLAY button is pressed, the remaining part of your programmed selection will play to the end of the sequence.

Otherwise, to play all the programmed tracks from the beginning of the sequence, press PLAY/PAUSE, or PLAY on the remote control.

The >> button may be pressed to jump to the next track in the programmed sequence, or

<< button to obtain the previous track in the sequence. When all programmed tracks have been played, the CD player stops. The same track selection can then be played again by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the front panel, or PLAY on the remote control.

To repeat a programmed sequence continually, press REPEAT whilst playing the program.

To cancel this mode, press PROGRAM.

Note: The program contents will be cleared if you switch off the power, or open the disc drawer and load another disc. If, however, the same disc is loaded again with the power still switched on, the program sequence is retained in the memory.

KW250S display brightness can be controlled in three levels by pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control.

The original setting is maximum brightness, but by pressing the DISPLAY button once, brightness is reduced, and a further press turns the display off. This controls display in CD, TUNER, and external source modes.
