OPERATIONS

In the Relay-operation, the device automatically switches to the other player after the current track is played.

In this way, you have the possibility to automate the play features between the two CDs. As soon as the current track of CD1 is finished, the player automatically starts CD2.

To initiate single relay play:

Press the SGL (Single-button); The display shows “SINGLE” on both CD-players. Then press both PROG. & SGL buttons simultaneously until the track indicator blinks (on both LCDs). Start playback of CD1. In the Single-mode, the device automatically starts with the playback of the other CD-player of the other CD-player at the end of the track. This can be changed to continuous by pressing the SGL (single) button once. In continuous mode the entire CD has to play before the second player automatically starts.
