4- Disc operations
Playback modes
The unit can be set to play back a single track, the whole disc in the created order, the tracks of the disc in a random (shuffled) order, or a programmed order. This operation takes place when stopped.
NOTE
Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the remote control unit.
1When stopped, press the PLAY MODE key on the remote control repeatedly to cycle the display through the following:
•Continue. Normal playback mode. Playback con- tinues in the normal order.
•Single. The currently selected track is played and then playback stops. The SINGLE indicator lights in this mode.
•Random. In this mode, all the tracks on the disc are played in random order, and the RANDOM indicator lights (see “Random playback” on page 17 below).
•Program. The PROGRAM indicator lights in this mode (see “Program playback” on page 17 below).
The selected mode is shown in large characters dis- appears from the display a few seconds after selecting the mode, and the display returns to its previous mode.
Random playback
In this mode, the unit will playback all the tracks on the disc in random order.
1When stopped, press the PLAY MODE key until the display shows Random.
2Press the Play key to start random playback.
While playing back, using the track skip func- tion will move forwards through the random
order. Turn the multi dial on the unit clock- wise or press the skip (¯) key on the remote control.
NOTE
You cannot go backwards to previous tracks in the Random playback mode.
To stop random playback, press the stop key. Opening the disc tray also stops random playback.
Program playback
The steps to set up to 99 program steps (tracks) to be played back in a specified order are as follows:
1When stopped, press the PLAY MODE key until the display shows Program.
2The display changes to show 0Tr 00:00 00, meaning that there are no tracks assigned for program playback.
3Use the number keys on the remote control to enter a track number. There is no need to press the ENTER key.
The track entered is assigned to the program step, and the display changes, showing the track number, the total time of the program so far, and the step number, e.g. 2Tr 14:56 03.
4The next program step can then be entered.
NOTE
Steps 3 and 4 above can also be carried out from the main unit by turning and pushing the MULTI DIAL key.
5Repeat steps 3 and 4 above until the program is complete.
6Press the PLAY key to start playback at the first program step.
The display shows the track, the current time dis- play, and the program step number.
While in program playback mode, using the SKIP keys or the MULTI DIAL moves backwards and forwards in the order set in the program.
Use the PAUSE key to stop playback temporarily or the STOP key to stop playback of the program. If the STOP key is used, when playback is restarted, it starts from the first program step.
When stopped, if the clear key on the remote control is pressed, it cancels the last track entered in the pro- gram.
Clear the program by pressing the PLAY MODE until the display shows Continue. The program is also cleared when the disc tray is opened, and if the STOP key is pressed when playback is stopped in pro- grammed order mode.
The programmed play order is not memorized when the power is turned off.
If you enter more than 99 program steps, the message PGM Full ! appears on the display.
