), can be cleared from memory. For more on this function,

Search Function
The Search buttons are unlike the other buttons on the CDC-3 in that they must be held down
rather than pressed and released to operate properly. When pressed down, the search buttons
will fast forward or rewind the track that is currently being played. Once a button is released, the
track will continue play from that point.
Scan Function
The Scan buttons change the selected track in single increments in numerical order in either
direction (forward or backward) when the selected disc is or is not playing.
Programming
You can program up to 36 tracks from three separate discs in the order you want them to be
played.The programmed sequence will remain in memory until the power is turned off or the CD
drawer is ejected, at which time the program is cleared from memory and the unit must be repro-
grammed.
