Storing Information About CDs (Custom Files)
What You Can Do With the
Custom Files
The player can store four types of information called
“Custom Files” for each disc. Once you have stored
Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls
what you have stored whenever you select the disc.
Note that Custom Files are erased if you do not use the
player for about one month.
You can store this information:
When you use
Disc Name (page 20)
Delete Bank (page 24)
Group File (page 24)
Artist File (page 26)
Where are Custom Files stored?
Custom Files are stored not on the disc, but in the
player’s memory. Therefore you cannot use Custom
Files when you play the disc on other players.
If you replace discs with Custom Files
The Custom File information you have stored remains,
since the Custom File information is assigned to each
slot. Erase all the Custom Files (Disc Name, Delete
Bank, Group File, and Artist File) of the old disc, and
then file the new disc information in the Custom Files.
