Track search

Normal search

Press the ∆/˚ search key continuously on the front panel, or the SEARCH ∆/˚ key on the remote control. To stop the search function, simply release the ∆/˚ or the SEARCH key.

NOTE

The search function does not operate with MP3 discs.

Direct search

By specifying time from the start of a certain track, you can start playback from a specified point of a specified track.

ªBasic operation

During stop, play or playback standby modes, use the number keys on the remote control to input the three-digit track number (such as 002 for track 2), then the desired elapsed time (***min **sec) from the start of that track.

Example: To specify 1 min 30 sec from the start of track 2, input “002 001 30”.

During input, the counter in the display will flash.

NOTE

Regardless of the time display mode (see “Time display switching on page 19), the time from the start of the specified track is displayed.

Pressing the CLEAR key cancels the input at any stage during input.

During stop or playback modes, when the final digit is entered, the desired position is automatically located and playback will begin from the desired point. During play- back standby mode, at the desired point the unit will enter playback standby mode.

NOTE

If a point which does not exist is entered, Direct Search time entry mode will be cancelled.

The direct search function cannot be used in program or random mode.

For MP3 discs, time cannot be specified within a track. However, if you input the three-digit track number, playback will begin from the start of that track.

Operation variations

Even if the final “seconds” time value is not input, play- back will begin from the selected “minutes” time after pressing the ENTER or PLAY key. Or, if you press the READY key, the unit will enter the playback standby mode at the selected point.

ªSpecifying a track number only

After inputting the track number, press the ENTER or PLAY key to begin playback of that track, or the READY key to cue the track and enter playback standby mode.

NOTE

Instead of inputting the three-digit track number, you can input only the desired track number.

Example: To specify track 3, input only “3”.

ªSpecifying to the minute

After inputting the three-digit track number and the number of minutes after the start of the track, press the ENTER or PLAY key to begin playback of that track, or the READY key to cue the track and enter playback standby mode.

Example: To specify 1 min 00 sec from the start of track 2, input “002 001”
