Because  of  differences  in  the  many  MP3  and  WMA  encoders 
available,  we  recommend  that  you  conduct  a  test  recording 
before  transferring  large  numbers  of  MP3  files  to  CD-R  or 
CD-RW for subsequent playback on the DV27.

PROGRAMMED PLAYBACK (AUDIO 

CDS)

Press 

PROG 

on  the  remote  control  to  open  the ‘Programme’  menu. 

Playback must be stopped first.
The bottom of the screen shows the number of tracks present on the 
disc. Below this is an information line, giving relevant information for the 
cursor position.

You can enter a sequence of up to 20 tracks for programmed playback. 
If  you  enter  data  that  is  invalid  for  the  current  disc,  the  field  will  be 
erased automatically.

13  Track(s) on this disc.

the remote control), then press the number of the track you want to 
play first. To enter a second track, move down, then type the number 
of the second track to play, etc. To enter a track number greater than

button on 

the screen and press

specified. This  clears  programme  mode  and  causes  normal  playback 
order to be resumed.
Note that in programmed playback mode, skipping track forward or 
back skips forward or back through the programmed sequence.
The  player  returns  to  ‘Browse’  mode  if  no  programme  has  been 
entered when 

PROG 

is pressed for a second time.

button  on  the  remote  control  stops  playback 

(if  active)  and  changes  the  player  mode  to ‘Programme’  mode  (as 
indicated at point (2)).
Navigating  the  directory  tree  is  the  same  as  described  earlier  for 
‘Browse’ mode. Files from any location on the disc

the playlist by moving the cursor to the file, then pressing 

OK 

on the 

remote control. Files that are present in the playlist are shown with a 
light blue highlight.

OK

. The blue highlight disappears from the file, indicating that the file is 

no longer in the playlist. To remove all files from the playlist, press 

CLEAR 

on the remote control.

When you have entered the programme to your satisfaction, press the

button again. This changes the display to show the programmed 

list (‘Playlist’ mode) and playback starts automatically.
Playback  can  be  stopped  and  started  using  the 

STOP 

and 

PLAY 

keys, 

as normal. To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal 
playback, press the 

PROG 

button for a third time; this stops playback and
