Tascam CD-RW5000 owner manual Playback operations, Display modes, Playing back a selected track

3 - Playback operations

This section gives details of the basic operations you can perform when using the CD-RW5000 to play back CDs.

Playing back CDs on the CD-RW5000 is similar to playing back CDs on any other CD player.

The CD-RW5000 can play back ordinary pre-recorded commercial CDs, and CD-R discs, as well as CD-RW discs recorded on the CD-RW5000. These last discs may not be playable on other CD players.

Also, note that unlike some other CD players, but in common with other TASCAM devices, the PLAY key on the CD-RW5000 is used to restart playback after the PAUSE key has been used to pause play- back.

3.1 Display modes

The different display modes available when playing back a CD are: track elapsed time (TRACK TIME) with the level meters displayed, track remaining time (REMAIN TIME TRACK), disc remaining time (TOTAL REMAIN TIME), and track elapsed time (TRACK TIME) without the level meters displayed.

Press the DISPLAY key ([6] or [34]) to cycle between these modes.

3.2 Playing back a selected track

Use the number buttons on the remote control unit to enter a track number. If the number of the track is greater than nine, press the keys of the two digits in order to enter the 2-digit number.

•If the CD-RW5000 is already playing, the playback will jump to the start of the selected track.

•If the CD-RW5000 is in pause mode, the playback position will be at the start of the selected track in pause mode.

•If the CD-RW5000 is stopped, playback will start from the start of the selected track.

3.3Repeating playback

1To repeat one track, press the REPEAT key [32] on the remote control unit once to show REPEAT 1 on the display. The current track will continue to be repeated until stopped.

2To repeat the whole disc, press the REPEAT key [32] on the remote control unit twice to show REPEAT ALL on the display. The disc will play to the end and then restart playing from the beginning until stopped.

3.3.1 Programmed playback

To program a sequence of tracks for playback, follow the steps below:

1Make sure that playback is stopped.

2Press the PGM key [33], and PROGRAM is shown on the display.

3Enter the numbers of the tracks that you want included in the programmed play, using the number keys on the remote control unit [31].

The step number of the programmed track appears briefly, and the display shows the word PROGRAM flashing at the left of the display.

NOTE

As explained earlier, pressing two number keys in quick succession will enter that 2-digit track number. Leave a pause between the entry of the different track numbers to sepa- rate the program steps.

4Start the programmed playback by pressing the PLAY key on the main unit [15] or on the remote control unit [43].

5Stop programmed playback by pressing the STOP key on the main unit [14] or on the remote control unit [42].

While a programmed playback sequence is active, even while playback is stopped, the display shows the word PROGRAM at the left of the display.

6Cancel programmed playback by pressing the STOP key on the main unit [14] or on the remote control unit [42] twice in quick succession.

Opening the disc tray will also cancel the pro- grammed playback.

It is possible to program up to 20 program steps for programmed playback. If more than 20 program steps are entered, the display shows FULL.
