Display

Alpha-numeric characters which display playback information. On inserting

(the number of tracks remains stationary throughout). Once playback of
an individual track begins, the track number, total number of tracks and
play-time will be displayed. On a CD containing CD-text, the track name
will scroll once. Pressing the        (Info) button on the remote control will
re-display the CD-text.
