Selecting a track

There are two ways to select a track. You can move (skip) to the previous or next track, or you can select a track directly by its track number. In addition, you can skip to the next or previous folder of a data CD.

Skipping to the next or previous track

Press the Ô/Â or ¯/ key on the main unit or the SKIP Â/¯ key on the remote control. In addition, if you press and hold a SKIP Â/¯ key on the remote control, the unit skips through multiple tracks successively.

•• If you skip to a track during playback, the selected track begins playing immediately.

•• If you skip to a track while playback is paused or stopped, playback pauses at the beginning of the selected track.
