Disc play
If the power of both units is switched on, you can begin relay play. You can set play mode (ALL, GROUP, +1, PROGRAM) on each unit separately and enjoy any combination play using both units. First, the main (ACTIVE) unit starts play in the selected play mode, and Relay play will take effect according to the following chart (at which time the main unit will become “INACTIVE” and the second unit will become “ACTIVE”) :
When random sequence play mode of the ACTIVE unit is off

Relay play repeats until it is canceled
•The ACTIVE unit plays the BEST FILING program automatically if the current disc has BEST FILING data and “FILE” appears in the display.
•The remote control transmitter controls the ACTIVE unit only. To operate the INACTIVE unit, you must use the controls on the front panel.
•To switch the ACTIVE unit and INACTIVE unit manually, press ACTIVE on the remote control transmitter.
To exit relay play mode
Turn either unit off. The other unit can still be used.
TIMER PLAY
You can start play in any mode at any specified time by connecting a timer (sold separately). Refer also to the instructions for the timer.
1. Select the desired play mode (ALL, GROUP, +1, or PROGRAM).
2. Press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off.
3. Press STANDBY/ON while pressing PLAY on the front panel.
Shortly thereafter, “TIMER P. ON” appears in the display and the timer play function is on.
(When the timer play function is already on, in which case, “TIMER P. OFF” appears in the display and timer play function is off. In this case, repeat the procedure in steps 2 and 3 to set the timer play function to on.)
4. Set the timer to the desired time.
When the set time comes, the unit turns on and starts play.
