Program Play

The CDR 20's advanced programming system
enables you to preset the order in which tracks
are played, to repeat one track or all tracks, or to
repeat any segment of a disc without regard to
track numbers.

Programming Play Lists

To program the order of playback for the tracks
on a disc, insert the disc, let the unit read the
Table of Contents information, and wait until the
disc has stopped and the number of tracks and
total running time is displayed. Next, select the
deck that will be programmed by pressing the
CDP Select button on the remote for the
Play Deck or the CDR Select button
on the remote for the Record Deck
To begin the programming sequence, press the
Program button and note that the PROG
Indicator will illuminate and the
Information Display will show
00 00 : 00.
Next, enter the track numbers to be played by
pressing the Numeric Keys . For two-digit
track numbers, be certain to enter the second
digit within three seconds after the first number
is entered. As each track is entered, the display
will blink three times, alternating between two
displays. The first display will show the track
number just entered on the left side of the
Information Display under the Track
Indicator , while the right side will flash the
number of steps that have been programmed.
For example, after programming the first step
to be track number 3, the display will flash
03 P-01.
Alternating with the track number and program
step will be a display of the track and the total
running time of all tracks that have been
programmed so far. For example, a display of
06 11:25 will indicate that track number six
was the last track programmed, and that the
total time of all tracks so far is 11 minutes and
25 seconds. The Total Time Indicators
will flash with this display to remind you of the
display's contents.
These displays will alternate three times, and
then show a steady display of the total time and
last track programmed.
18 PROGRAM PLAY
Now you can continue to add tracks in the order
you wish to have them played until the program-
ming session is complete. You may add up to 20
tracks, repeating a track if desired, as long as
the total number does not exceed 20. If you
exceed the 20 track limit, the display will read
F U L L. Tracks may also be added using the
Next and Previous buttons
to locate the track, and the

to wait until the steady display is shown befor
the next track can be programmed.
When the complete list of tracks has been
. entered, press the Play button
tracks will then play in the order they have been
entered. Note that a programmed list of tracks
may also be recorded if the disc being pro-
grammed is in the Play Deck
instructions on page 20 for complete informa-
tion on recording and dubbing.

Checking, Editing and Clearing

Programmed Play Lists

between the track number of the program step
number (e.g. 12 P-03 tells you that track 12
on the disc is the 3rd program step) and the
track number and the total running time so far
in the program (e.g. 12 16:04 tells you that
at this point you have programmed a total of 16
minutes and 4 seconds of material).
At any point in the list you may insert a new
track by simply entering the track number using
the Numeric Keys
tons that correspond to the number of the track
you wish to add. Any tracks that are in the pro-
gram will remain.
To remove a step in the program, first use the
Program Check button
