The remote control unit keys are listed here, together with the number (in square brackets) of the corre- sponding key on the main unit, when these keys are identical in function to those on the main unit. When these keys have a different function, or are additional to those on the main unit, an explanation of their function is provided.

[30] OPEN/CLOSE key

See [4].

[31] Number keys

These number keys are used to select tracks for pro- grammed playback, or to select a particular track to play. See section 3, "Playback operations", for details of how to perform these operations.

When entering track numbers greater than nine, the two keys corresponding to the digits that compose the track number should be pressed in quick7 succes- sion. For instance, when entering track number 14, first press the 1 key, quickly followed by the 4 key.

[32] REPEAT key

This key works in the same way as the repeat key on conventional CD players.

Repeated presses of this key will cycle between the following repeat modes: repeating the current track (REPEAT 1), repeating the whole disc (REPEAT ALL), and no repeat.

Use this key in conjunction with the number keys for programmed playback, as described in 3.3.1, "Pro- grammed playback".
