Playing tracks released in the same year randomly  

(Time Machine Shuffle)

The player selects a year at random and plays tracks released in that year.

 

Press and hold BACK.

The HOME menu appears.

 

Press 

/

/

/

 to select   (Intelligent Shuffle), and then press 

.

The screen to select a shuffle type appears.

 

Press 

/

 to select “Time Machine Shuffle,” and then press 

.

“Shuffle play songs released in 2005.” (for example) appears, and then 
tracks released in the selected year are played in random order.
If you select a shuffle type while a track is playing, the track stops after 
the message appears, and a randomly selected track starts playing 
(Intelligent Shuffle play).

 Hints

•  Intelligent Shuffle play is automatically cancelled by any of the following operations:

–  Starting playback of a track by selecting it from the Music Library.
–  Using the Artist Link feature.
–  Changing the play mode.

•  When you start Intelligent Shuffle play, the play mode changes to “Shuffle” or 

“Shuffle&Repeat.”

Notes

•  The controls of the player cannot be operated while a year is being selected.
•  A shuffle play of all tracks begins if none of the tracks on the player have a release year 

assigned to them.

•  If all the tracks on the player that have a release year assigned have the same release 

year, or some of tracks have the same release year and the rest of them have no released 
year assigned, the player automatically plays a random shuffle of the tracks from that 
year, and “Shuffle play songs released in 2005” (for example) is displayed.

•  To move back through as many as the last 20 tracks played during shuffle play, press 

 repeatedly. Moving back more than one track to continue playing tracks, or going 

forward quickly or pressing 

 resets the shuffle to create a new random track order.
