Random play (Playing tracks in a
random sequence)
This function rearranges the tracks into a random sequence
and it then plays all the tracks in this random sequence. If it
is used together with repeat play, the same tracks can be
repeatedly played but in a different sequence every time.
During play or stop, press the RANDOM button on the remote
control unit.
The items on the music calendar appear on the display one
after the other, and the “RNDM” indicator lights.
Random play now starts.
To stop random play and resume normal play, press the
RANDOM button on the remote control unit. The “RNDM”
indicator on the display goes off.
Random play can also be initiated using EASY JOG on the
player. (See page 30.)
• Skipping tracks during random play to
search other tracks
When the button on the remote control unit is pressed or
EASY JOG on the player is turned clockwise during random
play, the next track is selected at random and played.
Conversely, when the
button on the remote control unit is
pressed or EASY JOG on the player is turned counterclockwise
during random play, play returns to the start of the track now
playing. If the same operation is repeated, play is initiated in
the reverse order in which the tracks were played.
ADVANCED OPERATIONS
AMS play (Searching for a specific track)
This function comes in handy when searching for a specific
track that you want to hear.
During stop or play, press the AMS (auto music scan) button
on the remote control unit.

display, and the “ ” indicator flashes.
The intros of all the tracks starting from track 1 are played in
succession for the duration which has been set (factory
setting: 10 seconds).
Once the track you want to hear has been found, press the
AMS button again. The “ ” indicator now lights, and the track
found and whatever comes after that track will now be played
normally.
When the RANDOM button on the remote control unit is
pressed during AMS play, the AMS play function is released,
and the random play mode is established.
AMS play can also be initiated using EASY JOG on the player.
