Programming the Track Order

Programming the track order means telling the player precisely which tracks, and in what order, you want played. You can program a sequence of up to 24 steps (each step can contain either a track or a pause in the program), playing tracks more than once if you like.

The sequence you program applies only to the disc in the player at the time: as soon as you eject that disc the program memory is lost.

During playback or stop mode, press PROGRAM.

The PGM indicator lights and the display prompts you to enter the first track in the program:

Enter the track numbers in the order you want them played.

Use the number buttons to select tracks:

For track numbers 1 to 10, use the corresponding number button.

For track numbers over 10, press the >10 button, then enter the track

number. For example, to select track 28:

REPEAT

As you program tracks, the total running time of the program is displayed here.

If the player is stopped, you can use the 4 and ¢ (track skip) buttons to select tracks, pressing PROGRAM after each to enter it into the program. Alternatively, use the jog dial to select tracks (push to enter).

When programming in stop mode only: To program a pause, press the 8 (pause) button instead of a track number (you can’t program a pause as the first item). Instead of a track number, the display shows PA.

This shows the track number just programmed.

3 Press 3 (play) to start playback.

If you started programming while the disc was playing, the program starts right after the current track has played out. If you want the program to start right away, press 3 (play).

Clearing a program

Since the program only applies as long as the disc is in the player, you can clear it by simply ejecting the disc. Alternatively, stop the disc, then press 7 (stop) one more time: the program will be erased.

Clearing a track from the program

During playback or while the disc is stopped, you can delete the last (most recently) programmed step by pressing CLEAR on the remote control. Press repeatedly to clear several steps (if the program is playing while you’re doing this, you can’t clear steps beyond the one that is currently playing).

Checking what's in the program

In stop mode you can check the contents of the program using the CHECK button on the remote control. Each press steps through the program. At each step the display shows the step number and the corresponding track number. When you reach the end of the program, a step number of 00 is displayed.

Replacing a track in the program

If, while checking the program (see above), you decide you want to change something, simply stop at the step number you want to change and enter a new track number using either the number keys, the 4 and ¢(track skip) buttons, or the jog dial.
