18 PROGRAM PLAY

Program Play

The CDR 2’s advanced programming system
enables you to preset the order in which tracks
are played, to repeat one track or all tracks, or
to repeat any segment of a disc without regard
to track numbers.

Programming Play Lists
To program the order of playback for the tracks
on a disc, insert the disc, let the unit read the
Table of Contents information, and wait until
the disc has stopped and the number of tracks
and total running time is displayed. Next, select
the deck that will be programmed by pressing
the CDP Select button

d on the remote for

the Play Deck

3 or the CDR Select button

on the remote for the Record Deck

%.

To begin the programming sequence, press
the Program button

e and note that the

PROG Indicator B will illuminate and
the Information Display

K will show

00 00 : 00.

Next, enter the track numbers to be played by
pressing the Numeric Keys

p. For two-digit

track numbers, be certain to enter the second
digit within three seconds after the first number
is entered. As each track is entered, the display
will blink three times, alternating between two
displays. The first display will show the track
number just entered on the left side of the
Information Display

K under the Track

Indicator

O, while the right side will flash

the number of steps that have been pro-
grammed. For example, after programming the
first step to be track number 3, the display will
flash 03 P-01.

Alternating with the track number and program
step will be a display of the track and the total
running time of all tracks that have been
programmed so far. For example, a display of
06 11:25 will indicate that track number
six was the last track programmed, and that the
total time of all tracks so far is 11 minutes and
25 seconds. The Total Time Indicators

NL

will flash with this display to remind you of the
display’s contents.

These displays will alternate three times, and
then show a steady display of the total time
and last track programmed.

Continue to add tracks in the order you wish to
have them played until the programming ses-

sion is complete. You may add up to 20 tracks,
repeating a track if desired, as long as the total
number does not exceed 20. If you exceed the
20 track limit, the display will read FULL.
Tracks may also be added using the Next
zÓˆ and Previous buttons iÔ˜ to
locate the track, and the Program button

e

to enter that track to the programmed
sequence.

When the complete list of tracks has been
entered, press the Play button

j*˘.

The tracks will then play in the order they have
been entered. Note that a programmed list of
tracks may also be recorded if the disc being
programmed is in the Play Deck

3. Follow

the instructions on page 20 for complete
information on recording and dubbing.

Checking, Editing and Clearing
Programmed Play Lists
Once you have entered a program list it will
remain in the unit’s memory until the disc is
removed or the unit is turned off. Thus, if you
play through a program list, simply press the
Play button

j*˘ again to replay the list.

If you find that you wish to check the list or
make changes, that is also possible by following
a few simple steps.

To scroll through a program list, press the
Program Check button

h. Each press of the

button will move through the tracks that have
been programmed. The display will alternate
between the track number of the program step
number (e.g. 12 P-03 tells you that track
12 on the disc is the 3rd program step) and the
track number and the total running time so far
in the program (e.g. 12 16:04 tells you
that at this point you have programmed a total
of 16 minutes and 4 seconds of material).

At any point in the list you may insert a new
track by simply entering the track number using
the Numeric Keys

p. Simply press the but-

tons that correspond to the number of the track
you wish to add. Any tracks that are in the pro-
gram will remain.

To remove a step in the program, first use the
Program Check button

h to locate the

track you wish to delete. Next, press the Clear
button

. The information in the display will

blink and the step will be removed from the
program list. Program steps need not be deleted

in any order; as long as you have located a step
in the program list, it may be erased.

To cancel an entire program list while the pro-
gram is playing, press the Program button
e and note that the Program Indicator B
will go out. To remove a total program list
when the disc is stopped, simply open and
close the disc drawer. Whenever a disc is
removed or the unit is turned off, the program
list is erased.

Repeat Programmed Play
The CDR 2’s programming system enables you
to repeat either a single track on a disc, the
entire disk, or a specially programmed passage
that you select.

Repeat One Track
To repeat the track you are currently listening
to, press the Repeat button

r and note that

the Repeat Indicator

D and the Repeat-

Status Indicator

E will both light 1. If the

track is changed by using the Next/Previous
Skip
button

izÓÔˆ˜ while the

Repeat 1 mode is active, the new track will
now be repeated.

Once Repeat 1 playback has been started, it
will continue until the unit is stopped by press-
ing the Stop button

x&¸, or the disc

deck is opened by pressing the appropriate
Open/Close button

7$c

playback is stopped, the Repeat sequence is
erased and must be reentered if you wish to
repeat a track on another disc.

Repeat All Tracks
To repeat all the tracks on a disc in order, press
the Repeat button

r twice while the disc is

playing and note that the Repeat Indicator
D and the ALL Repeat-Status Indicator
E will light. Once the Play button j*˘

x&¸ is pressed. The Repeat All

ing the Repeat button

r once until both the

Repeat Indicator
