Playing Alternately (No-Delay Play/X-Fade Play)

When you connect the second player, you can play tracks in this player and those from the second player alternately from any play mode (see “Connecting Another CD Player” on page 6).

Select one of the following methods:

•No-Delay Play: The current player changes at each track. Each time the current player changes to the other player, the other player starts play without a break in sound immediately after the current player ends play. The other player skips the lead-in portion and starts playing from where the sound actually begins.

•X-Fade Play: The current player changes at each track or at the specified interval. You can select the interval, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Each time the current player changes to the other player, the sound from both players is mixed. The current player ends play by fading out, and the other player starts play by fading in.
