Storing Information About CDsStoring(CustomInformationFiles) About CDs (Custom Files)

What You Can Do With the Custom Files

The player can store three 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 do not use the player for about one month.

You can store this information:

When you use

You can

Delete Bank (page 19)

only the tracks you want

 

 

Group File (page 20)

locate them easily

 

 

Where are Custom Files stored?

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

If you replace discs you have filed in the Custom Files

The Custom File information you have stored remains, since each Custom File information is assigned to each slot. Erase all Custom Files (Disc Memo, Delete Bank and Group File) of the old disc, and then file the new disc information in the Custom Files.

Erasing all Custom Files of all discs

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

Labeling Discs (Disc Memo)

You can label discs using up to 13 characters and have the player display the Disc Memo each time you select the disc. The Disc Memo can be anything you like, such as a title, musician’s name, category or date of purchase.

When you select a CD-TEXT disc

The disc title is stored as the Disc Memo automatically. If the disc title has more than 13 characters, the first 13 characters of the disc title are stored (see page 10).

When you replace a disc with a CD-TEXT disc, the disc title of the CD-TEXT disc is also stored automatically. Note that you cannot change the Disc Memo of the CD- TEXT disc.

You can label discs while the front cover is open
