after which you will see the total number of tracks

row of numbers indicates all tracks that have not 
been played (in this case all of them). 
 
With a press on

Track 1. The display now shows the track number 
(left) and the track’s playing time from the start 
(right). This last indication will increase as long as 
the CD is playing. 
All tracks will be played sequentially in the normal 
order.

three different time displays. TRACK TIME is the 
default. With each press on the button you then 
select in this order: 
REM TRACK TIME: remaining track time or

If you would like to play another track then you may 
select it in a number of ways.

??

next 

(higher number) track. 

Example

: To select track 5 while track 1 is playing 

depress the 

??

NEXT button 4 times. The display 

shows the new track number (left) and in the 

1-15+

 

line the numbers from track 5 to the last will be lit.

 Each press on the 

??

previous 

(lower number) track. 

From track 1 you select the last track on the CD with 
one button push. 
The display shows the new track number (left) and 
in the 

1-15+

 line the numbers from the current track 

to the last will be lit. 
 

?

 From the Remote you may directly select the track 

number with the 

??

1-0

 buttons (for more 

information, see page 10).  

Playing tracks in a different order 

Normally the tracks are played in the order of the 
CD. There are however three modes that allow you 
to change the playing order and even can prevent 
tracks from playing altogether.  
The three modes are Program Play (PROG), Shuffle 
Play (SHUF) and Repeat Play (REPEAT). 

Program Play (PROG) 

With Program Play you can change the playback of 
a CD: 
Only play the tracks you want to hear (and thus skip 
the others). 
Play certain tracks a number of times. 
Change the complete playing order. 
Select those tracks that exactly fill one side of a 
tape.  
To do this you first have to select the wanted tracks 
and program them into memory. Then you can start 
Program Play mode. 

Note

: Tracks will be played in the order of 

programming. 
Programming is only possible when the CD has 
stopped (STOP). If you press the 

??

PROG button 

during Play mode the display will show » GO TO 
STOP «, while nothing further will happen.

button.  
The display shows under TRACK the track number.
