Playing CDs

You can create your program while checking the disc labels

While the disc tray is open, follow Steps 1 to 5 with pressing DISC SKIP 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 (, you can play the same program again.

The program remains until you erase it

If you replace discs, the programmed disc and track numbers remain. So, the player plays 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 programmed order.

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 on the remote.

Each time you press this button, the display shows the disc and track number of each step in the programmed order. (When a whole disc is programmed as one step, “AL” appears instead of the track number.) 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.
