Selecting a track
You can move (skip) to the previous or next track, or you
can select a track directly by its track number.
Skipping to the next or previous track
Press the SKIP Â/¯ [INDEX/DIR SEARCH] button
on the player or the SKIP Â/¯ button on the
remote to select a track. What happens after you use SKIP
buttons to select a track depends on whether the auto-
cue function is on or off. (See “Auto-cue function” on page
24.)
When stopped
If the auto-cue function is off, playback starts after the
track is selected.
If the auto-cue function is on, playback pauses at the
instant when sound begins in the track. To start playback
after this, press the Á (play) [REPEAT] button on the
player or the Á PLAY button on the remote.
During playback
The selected track will start playing back.
When paused
If the auto-cue function is off, playback pauses at the
beginning of the selected track.
If the auto-cue function is on, playback pauses at the
instant when sound begins in the track.
NOTE
If you press the  button once during playback or
when paused, playback will skip to the beginning of the
current track. However, if playback is one second or less
from the beginning of the current track, pressing the Â
button will skip to the previous track.
Designating track numbers
Use the number buttons on the player or the remote to
directly designate track numbers.
ª
With audio CDs
Enter two digits. For example, if the track number is “9”,
enter “0” followed by “9”.
ª
With data CDs
Enter three digits. For example, if the track number is “105”,
enter “1”, “0” and then “5”. If the track number is “4”, enter “0”,
“0” and then “4”.
When stopped, use the number buttons to designate a
track number and,
•
If the auto-cue function is off, start playback of that
track.
•
If the auto-cue function is on, pause playback at the
instant when sound begins in that track.
During playback, use the number buttons to designate
a track number and start playback of that track.
When paused, use the number buttons to designate a
track number and,
•
If the auto-cue function is off, pause playback at the
beginning of that track.
•
If the auto-cue function is on, pause playback at the
instant when sound begins in that track.
Selecting indexes and directories
You can select track indexes on audio CDs and directories
on data CDs.
NOTE
•
Audio CD indexes are divisions within tracks. In other
words, they are units that are smaller than tracks.
•
Data CD directories are folders that contain MP3 and
WAV files (tracks). In other words, they are units that are
larger than tracks.
Use the following procedures to select indexes and
directories.
Using the front panel buttons:
When in shift mode (SHIFT indicator lit) use the SKIP
Â/¯ [INDEX/DIR SEARCH] buttons to select them.
Using the remote control:
Use the INDEX/DIR SEARCH Ó/Á buttons to select
them.
When a data CD directory is selected, the first track inside
that directory will automatically start playing back (unless
the auto-cue function is on, in which case it will pause at
the instant when sound first begins in the first track).
When an audio CD index is selected, playback of the track
from the selected index will begin (unless the auto-cue
function is on, in which case it will pause at the instant
sound first begins in the designated index).
