If the unit’s memory exceeds 50 CDs or SD Memory Cards worth of data items, a message indicating replacement appears in the display and data items will be overwritten and replaced in the or- der of the oldest used first.

You can save this panel data for each CD or SD Memory Card to a SD Memory Card. ( page 21, Saving to a SD Memory Card)

In CD player mode, panel data cannot be automatically stored or read.

Automatic read when media inserted (TURNTABLE mode only)

When media with recorded data is inserted into the unit, the set- tings are automatically read.

While the unit is reading the media, each of the lamps for the cue pad 1 to 4, CUE, LOOP IN, and OUT flash rapidly, and are set in order. Pushing the cue pad, or the CUE or loop play buttons while the lamp is flashing rapidly will give that pad or button priority to be set, and then played. The start of play may be delayed.

When reading has completed, the lamps stop flashing, and remains lit.

MP3 files on CD-R and CD-RW, or SD audio take more time to read than CD audio. Use only once the lamp has stopped flashing and remains lit after pressing the cue pad, or the CUE or loop play buttons.

The lamps may flash rapidly while the media is being read even when carrying out other operations.

Removing the media, or switching [PLAY SELECT] erases the set- tings, however re-inserting the media restores the settings.
