After a playlist has been selected, you may listen to part or all of that playlist by using the transport
buttons on the right side of the front panel (PLAY/PAUSE,
SCAN ). Pressing PLAY/PAUSE after a playlist is selected will play from the beginning of the
playlist, light the Track Number indicator, and begin displaying Track Time in the Track Time Display

Obviously, if there are no Tracks in a playlist, auditioning the playlist will not do anything.

Tracks can be added to an empty playlist in several ways:
By using the NEW TRACK button and then recording using the analog or digital inputs
By moving a pre-existing Audio File into a playlist (more about Audio Files in Chapter 4, Page 9)
By moving a Track from a Red Book or CD24 CD into a playlist (see Chapter 7: CD Mode
