Tips

 

•

You can create your program while checking the

 

 

disc labels.

 

 

While the disc tray is open, follow Steps 1 to 4 with

 

 

pressing the DISC SKIP button to check the disc

 

 

labels. If you close the disc tray before Step 5, the

 

 

total playing time appears in the display after a

 

 

while.

 

 

Note that, if the programmed track number isn’t

 

 

found on the disc, that step is automatically erased.

 

•

The program remains even after the Program Play

 

 

ends. When you press the Hbutton, you can play

 

 

the same program again.

 

•

The program remains until you erase it or turn off

 

 

the player. If you replace discs, the programmed

 

 

 

 

disc and track numbers remain. So, the player plays

Playing

 

only the existing disc and track numbers. However,

 

 

 

the disc and track numbers that aren’t found in the

 

 

player or on the disc are deleted from the program,

 

 

and the rest of the program is played in the

CDs

 

programmed order.

 

 

•

For the recording to the A side or B side of the

 

 

cassette tape, you can pause Program Play.

 

Note

The total playing time doesn’t appear when:

—You have programmed a track whose number exceeds 20.

—The total playing time of the program exceeds 200 minutes.

Checking the track order

You can check your program before or after you start playing.

Press CHECK.

Each time you press this button, the display shows the track (the disc and track numbers) or the disc (the disc number and “AL” indication) of each step in the programmed order. After the last step in the program, the display shows “End”and returns to the original display. If you check the order after you start playing, the display shows only the remaining steps.
