Sony CDP-997 - Manual (Page 32)

Custom Files
The CD player incorporates a memory in which you can store six types of
informations called “custom files”.
Six Custom Files
Level file You can assign a playback level to each
individual disc, so that the disc can be
played automatically on a fixed playback
level, (page 33)
Disc memo You can assign a title within 10 letters to
each individual disc, (page 34)
Custom Index You can assign up to 10 index points on
anywhere you want on a disc, (page 36)
Program bank A programed piaying order you store in
memory for a disc, so that the disc can
be played always in the fixed order,
(page 38)
Delete bank You can store certain selections in
memory so that the player will always
play only desired selections, (page 39)
DSP file To store an acoustic atmosphere for an
individual disc, (page 40)

Custom File Last Mode Memory
The last play mode (continuous play mode, and fade time)
of a disc containing custom fiie will be retained in the
player’s memory when the disc is removed from the player.
When the disc is inserted again, the last play mode will be
recalled. However, if you press ► while the disc tray is
open, the current piay mode will take priority over the last
play mode memorized.
To clear all custom files of a disc at once
Each time you press FILE RECALL, the contents of disc
memos and the items of custom files are displayed in the
window. When the disc memo is assigned in a disc, you
can see these displays even if a disc is not inserted in the
player.
When the display which you want to clear appears, press
ERASE. All the custom files of a disc are cleared and
“FILE ERASE” will appear in the window.
How many discs can be assigned to custom files?
You can give custom files to up to 185 discs.
But it takes two discs’ memory in the following cases:
• When disc memo, custom index, program bank and
delete bank are memorized for one disc at the same
time.
• When more than 9 custom indexes and disc memo are
memorized for one disc at the same time.
• When custom index, program bank and delete bank are
memorized for one disc at the same time.
When the memory becomes full of custom files.
"FILE FULL” indication appears when FILE is pressed
while no custom file can be memorized for the disc
currently put in the player. To make a custom file for the
disc, clear the custom file of another disc.
To clear custom files or to reset memory of all discs at
once
When the disc tray is empty, press POWER to turn on the
player while keeping ERASE and FILE pressed.
“ALL ERASE” is displayed in the window.
Note on program bank
A single disc cannot be assigned with both a program bank and a delete
bank. Multi-disc programs cannot be stored in memory.
Where are custom files memorized?
Custom files are memorized not in the disc but ih the
player’s memory. So you can’t enjoy custom files with the
other players without memorizing custom files again.
Custom files are retained for approximately 1 month
without AC power supply.
To check the items of the custom files
Press FILE RECALL without the disc inserted (while
“-NO DISC-” is displayed). Each time you press FILE
RECALL, the items of the custom files and items of the
each column of
about the disc are displayed. If
you press FILE RECALL when the last disc’s information is
displayed, “-END-” is displayed and returns to “-NO DISC-”
after a few seconds.
