General
The
REVOX
P225
features highly
flexible programming facili-
ties.
Atf
irst
glance the user may have doubts whether
he
will
ev-
er
be able
to
master the procedures.
He can rest
assured: pro-
gramming
is
so
easy
that
it can
be
grasped
by
anyone. lmpor-
tant
is,
that
every step be
performed and
rehearsed
(conscious-
ly)
until it
is
fully understood. lt

Why compile your own program?
There
are
many
reasons
why
a
program should
be
compiled be-
fore a
compact disc
is
played.
For example if
you
want
to:
-
play the selections not
in
the same sequence
as
they are ar-
ranged on
the compact disc (refer
to
Section 3.2.3)
-
skip one or several selections, i.e.
selective
playback
of
a
com-
pact disc
(refer to
Section 3.2.3)
-
cornpare individual beats
or
passages of one
or
several selec-
tions
(refer to
Section 3.2.4)
quence described
in
this manual. otherwise errors may creep
in
which
usually
cannot
be
traced
back, i.e.
the operator is not
aware of
what he
is
doing wrong.
-
exactly
analyze
a phrase of a
selection
without having
to
search the
starting point
each time
with
keys
[14]
and
['16]
(ref-
er
to
Section
3.4.1)
-
assemble
a program for copying on tape (refer
to
Section
3.2.3)
Many other examples
could
be
cited,
however, once
the
user
has
become proficient,
he
will
soon think of other requirements
that can
be
satisfied
with suitable programs.

are particularly conspicuous because of their
red tops. This
underscores their special significance. At the be-
ginning of each program. the red
PROGRAN/

key
must
be
pressed. This
is
acknowledged
on
the display
[7]
with the
f
lash-
ing
word

This
signals
that the unit is ready
to accept the

for
each
STEP
have been completed. the pro-
gram
step
must
be saved in
memory
by pressing
STORE l22l.lf
this
is
forgotten.
no
further step can be entered,
however
this
can possibly overwrite the
previous
entry.
lt
is
possible to
cor-
rect or
modify individual
steps
in
an
existing program.
A
CD
can
be played
while a program
is being
compiled,
or
the entered
program can be executed (refer to
Section
3.3
Editing a pro-
gram).
3.2.2
Switching the
CD
player to program
entry mode
A program can
basically be
entered
in
two
operating
modes.
-
Program entry
without
a
compact disc
being
played.
-
Program entry concurrently
with the playback of
a
compact
disc.
Procedure
for
"Program entry
only":
-
Switch
CD player
on
(press
POWER
[1]).
-
The
normal indication that
no
table
of
contents has been read
appears on the display after
a
brief delay.
Howevel
this has no
significance
for the programming operation.
-
Activate
the programming mode (press
PROGRAN/
[26])
-
The
word
STEP
now flashes
in
the display
[7],
the CD
player
awaits
your
program
entries.
Procedure
for
programming
while a CD is being played:
-
Load desired compact
disc and start play
mode.
-
Activate program mode with
PROGRAN/
[26].
the

flashes
in
the display

and the
program
can be entered,
Playback is
not influenced
by
the program
entries, However, no
player functions should be pressed during
the program
input
session,
otherwise the program will
be
started (exceptions
