Playback modes

The unit can be set to play back the whole disc in the
order in which it was created, the tracks of the disc in
a random (shuffled) order, or a programmed order
(see “Programmed order playback” on page 17).
NOTE
Selecting the playback mode is only possible using the
remote control unit. It is not possible to select the playback
mode using the main unit alone.
1Press the PLAY MODE key B repeatedly to
cycle the display through the following:
•Program (see “Programmed order playback”
on page 17 below). The red
PROGRAM
display indi-
cator lights in this mode.
•Shuffle (random track order). In this mode,
each track is played once before the disc repeats.
Using the track search functions will move back-
wards or forwards through the random order, e.g. if
track 7 is followed by track 10, it is possible to use
the track search keys to go back to track 7, which is
remembered as being before immediately before
track 10. The red
SHUFFLE
display indicator lights
in this mode.
•Continue. Normal playback mode. Pro-
gramming is cancelled, and playback continues in
the normal order.
The selected mode is shown in large characters and
disappears from the display a few seconds after
selecting the mode, when the display returns to its
previous mode.
