VA-76 – Song Options

Chain Mode

The Chain Mode allows you to specify how the selected Song Chain should be played back. This is typically a function you set after selecting the desired Song Chain but before starting playback.

Press the [Auto] field if playback of the next song in Chain is to start automatically when the current song is finished.

Press the [Manual] field if you wish to be in control of when playback of the next song should start. This means that playback stops automatically at the end of the current song. To start the next song, you need to press the [PLAY ®] field.

Note that it is perfectly possible to change this setting during Song Chain playback. If you start out with [Auto], you’ll have plenty of time for a drink during a break. At the end of your break, you could press the [Manual] field and wait until playback of the currently selected song is finished. Then press [STOP ■√] – and go on entertaining your audience!

Deleting a Song Chain

Deleting a Song Chain is a matter of pressing the [Delete] field on the Song Chain page after selecting the Song Chain you no longer need. A deleted Song Chain cannot be restored (you will have to program it again).
