order in which it was created, the tracks of the disc in
a random (shuffled) order, or a programmed order
(see “Programmed order playback” on page 17).

mode using the main unit alone.

• Shuffle (random track order). In this mode,
each track is played once before the disc repeats.
Using the track search functions will move back-
wards or forwards through the random order, e.g. if
track 7 is followed by track 10, it is possible to use
the track search keys to go back to track 7, which is
remembered as being before immediately before
track 10. The red
