Programming the CDP
Introduction to Playlists Rather than playing an entire CD, you may choose to play only certain selections.
To do this, you create a “playlist” for that particular CD. It may be used immedi-
ately upon being created, and will remain in memory until replaced by a differ-
ent playlist.
Before using your CDP’s programming features, become familiar with its controls
and their locations, as well as their basic functions.
Note: During the playing of a playlist, the CDP’s basic functions
operate as described in “Basic Operation,” except that they affect
the playback of the program, not the entire CD. For instance, press-
ing
next during play skips to the next track in the playlist, whether
or not it is the next track on the CD. In the same way, engaging disc
repeat will repeat the entire playlist, not the entire disc.
The CDP allows up to 99 selections per playlist, with any given track appearing
once only. In practical terms, the only limitation on the length of your playlist is
the number of tracks on your disc.
Important Note: Assembling a playlist is possible only when the disc is
stopped.
Assembling a Playlist To assemble a new playlist:
1. Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks
and their total playing time.
2. Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on
the Remote Control), select the first track in your playlist.
3. Add the first selection to your playlist by pressing program + . The
CDP will acknowledge your command by lighting the green pro-
gram LED on the front panel to indicate that the track currently dis-
played has been added to the playlist.
4. Assemble the rest of your playlist by repeating steps 2 and 3. Make
sure to press program + after each selection.
Programming by Omission If you want to play most of a CD, and just “omit” a few tracks, you may want to
use this shortcut:
1. Load a CD, and wait for the display to show the number of tracks
and their total playing time.
2. Using the next and previous buttons (or the numbered buttons on
the Remote Control), select the first track you want to eliminate
from your program.
3. “Omit” the track by pressing program – . This action both places
the CDP in its program mode and deletes the track from the cur-
rent playlist. The display will advance to the next available track
