RCX-1500 Stereo Compact Disc Receiver

REVIEW Button (remote only)

This button is used to review the memorized tracks in Program Play mode. 
Press the button and the first memorized track number and “Prog Review” 
will appear in the Display. Pressing the REVIEW button again while the 
track number is displayed will continue the review sequence, showing 
the next memorized track. Continue pressing the REVIEW button to see 
the complete memorized track list.

If the REVIEW button is not press again, after 5 seconds the review 
process is terminated and the unit resumes whatever mode it was in 
before you started the review process or resumes Program Play with the 
current track. 

You may remove a selection from the Program Play list during the review 
procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below.

CLEAR Button (remote only

)

This button allows you to remove a track selection from the memorized 
program play list during the review procedure described above. Follow 
the review procedure until the desired track number appears. Then, 
instead of pressing the REVIEW button to continue, remove the track by 
pressing the CLEAR button while the track number is displayed. You may 
then continue the review procedure.

RANDOM Button (remote only)

This instructs the CD player to play tracks from the entire disc in random 
order. Once all of the selections have been played once, the disc will 
stop playing, unless the REPEAT Button (see below) has been engaged, 
in which case the random play will continue until the STOP button is 
pressed. When the RANDOM button is engaged, the   icon appears 
in the Display.

REPEAT Button (remote only)

This button allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc 
continuously until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT 
button or pressing STOP. The REPEAT button steps sequentially through 
the available options. Press the button once and the RCX-1500 will repeat 
just the current track. The   icon appears in the Display. Press the button 
a second time and the RCX-1500 will repeat the entire disc. A second 

 icon appears in the Display. Press the button a third time to cancel the 

REPEAT function. As noted above, REPEAT can be used in conjunction with 
the RANDOM play feature. The REPEAT and RANDOM play combination 
can also be used when playing CD-DA discs.

Note: The REPEAT function is automatically cancelled when the disc is 
ejected.

SCAN Button (remote only)

This feature automatically plays the first ten seconds of each track on 
the disc (or the memorized program). To activate the feature, press the 
SCAN button. The   icon appears in the Display. To stop scanning and 
resume normal operation at the current track, press the SCAN button 
again or press the PLAY 

/

 button.

The RANDOM and INTRO play combination can also be used when 
playing CD-DA discs.

TIME Button (remote only)

Normally, the RCX-1500 displays the elapsed time of the currently 
playing track. The TIME button allows you to see alternative time displays. 
Pressing the button once displays the time remaining in the current track, 
which counts down as the track continues playing. Pressing the button a 
second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized 
program). When the alternative time displays are selected an “R” icon 
appears in the display. Pressing the button a third time reverts to the 
standard elapsed time display.

Note: When playing MP3 and WMA discs, only the regular elapsed 
time and the time remaining in the current track can be displayed.
