Playing CDs only (CD Mode) – CD

Using this feature you can play only the CDs loaded in the disc tray—automatically skipping over any DVDs or Video CDs loaded. This may be useful if you have a mixture of discs loaded but only want to play music: you don't have to keep track of what kind of disc is where in the disc tray.
