DV89

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 DV89.

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.
To program the player, highlight the first entry (using the cursor
pad on 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 9, press the two digits sequentially

To play the programme you have entered, highlight the

To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal
playback, select the ‘PLAY’ button in the programme menu with
no programme 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.

Programmed playback (CD-ROM)

Pressing the

PROG

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

may

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

on the remote control. Files that are present in the

playlist are shown with a light blue highlight.
To remove a file from the playlist, move the cursor to the file
and press

. 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

PROG

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

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 changes the player to ‘Browse’ mode.
