Playing Alternately (No-Delay Play/X-Fade Play); Controlling The Player By Another Unit - Sony CDP-CX355 Operating Instructions Manual

Playing Alternately (No-Delay
Play/X-Fade Play)
When you connect the second player, you can play
tracks in this player and those from the second player
alternately from any play mode (see "Connecting
Another CD Player" on page 6).
Select one of the following methods:
• No-Delay Play: The current player changes at each
track. Each time the current player changes to the
other player, the other player starts play without a
break in sound immediately after the current player
ends play. The other player skips the lead-in portion
and starts playing from where the sound actually
begins.
• X-Fade Play: The current player changes at each
track or at the specified interval. You can select the
interval, 30, 60 or 90 seconds. Each time the current
player changes to the other player, the sound from
both players is mixed. The current player ends play
by fading out, and the other player starts play by
fading in.
