What You Can Do With the Custom Files

The player can store 4 types of information called “Custom Files” for each disc. Once you have stored Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls what you have stored whenever you select the disc. Note that Custom Files will be erased if you don’t use the player for about 1 month.

You can store this information:

When you use	You can
Music Clip (page 14)	Group the tracks on each disc
	into up to 4 groups
Disc Memo (page 15)	Label the disc using up to 10
	characters
Delete Bank (page 16)	Delete unwanted tracks and store
	only the tracks you want
Level File (page 17)	Store the optimum playback
	level of the disc

The Custom File indication lights up when you store the corresponding information.

Where are Custom Files stored?

Custom Files are stored not on the disc but in the player’s memory. This means you cannot use Custom Files when you play the disc on other players.

Erasing Custom Files

If the memory for Custom Files becomes full, the player displays “FILE FULL” when you press FILE to store the information and you cannot store any more disc information. If necessary, erase any unwanted Custom Files as follows:

To erase all Custom Files of one disc

Remove all the discs in the player, then press ¤Ê OPEN/ CLOSE. Wait for “–NOÊ DISC–” to appear in the display, then press TIME/MEMO (or TIME on the remote) repeatedly until the Custom Files for the disc which you want to erase appear. Then, press ERASE. “FILEÊ ERASE” appears and the Custom File indication disppears. All the Custom Files for the disc will be erased.

To erase all Custom Files of all discs

While holding down ERASE and FILE, press POWER to turn on the player. “ALL ERASE” appears in the display and all the Custom Files will be erased.

Grouping Tracks (Music Clip)

You can group the track on each disc into up to 4 groups called “clips.” Once you store a track into a clip, you can use the Music Clip every time you play the disc. You can also play only the tracks stored in a selected clip.

Note that tracks numbered over 32 cannot be stored into a clip.
