an entire CD. Press
PGM during play, then select the CD and track using the
remote control’s number buttons and DISC SET/TRACK SET , and press PGM .
When the current track finishes playing or you press , programmed play starts.
Or, you can store the track currently being played directly into memory. While
the track is playing, press
PGM once to enter the program mode, then press
PGM again to store the current track. You might find this feature convenient to
use along with hi-lite scan.

gram a pause to occur after the last selection you plan to record on the first side
of the tape (so you can turn the tape over).

Sequence” on Page 14.
