Storing Information About CDs (Custom Files)
What You Can Do With the Custom Files
The player can store two 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 are erased if you do not use the player for about one month.
You can store this information:
When you use | You can |
|
|
Disc Name (page 21) | Label discs using up to 20 |
| characters |
|
|
Artist File (page 25) | Classify discs according to an |
| artist name |
|
|
Labeling Discs (Disc Name)
You can label discs using up to 20 characters and have the player display the Disc Name each time you select the disc. The Disc Name can be anything you like, such as a title, musician’s name, category, or date of purchase.
zWhen you select a CD TEXT disc
The disc title is automatically stored as the Disc Name. If the disc title has more than 20 characters, only the first 20 characters of the disc title are stored (see page 11). 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 Name of a
CD TEXT disc.
zYou can label discs while the front cover is open
Where are Custom Files stored?
Custom Files are stored not on the disc, but in the player’s memory. Therefore you cannot use Custom Files when you play the disc on other players.
If you replace discs with Custom Files
The Custom File information you have stored remains, since the Custom File information is assigned to each slot. Erase all the Custom Files (Disc Name and Artist File) of the old disc, and then file the new disc information in the Custom Files.
