PROGRAM PLAY

18  PROGRAM PLAY

The CDR 26’s advanced programming system
enables you to program 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 Playlists

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

d

on the remote for the 

Play Deck

3

or the 

CDR

Select Button

`

on the remote for the 

Record

Deck

%

.

To begin the programming sequence, press the

Program Button

e

on the remote or the 

Program

Button

˝

for the appropriate deck on the front

panel. The 

PROG Indicator

I

will light and the

Information Display

Y

will show 

00 00

:

00

.

Next, enter the track numbers to be played by press-
ing the 

Numeric Keys

p

. For two-digit track num-

bers, be certain to enter the second digit within three
seconds after the first number is entered. If you are
programming your playlist using the front-panel con-
trols, use the 

Previous

and 

Next Track Buttons

Ò

Ú˘¸

to locate the desired track, then press the

Program Button

˝

for the appropriate deck to

enter the track into the sequence. 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

Y

under the 

Track Time

Indicator

W

, 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

.

If you make a mistake while programming a track, you
may press the 

Clear Button

h

to delete the last

programmed track.

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 

SV

will flash with this display to remind you of the dis-
play’s contents.

These displays will alternate three times, and then
show a steady display of the total time and last track
programmed.

Continue to add tracks in the order you wish to have
them played until the programming session is com-
plete. 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 dis-
play will read 

FULL

using the 

Next

Ò˘z

and 

Previous Buttons

Ú¸f

to locate the track, and the 

Program

e

to enter that track to the programmed

sequence.

When the complete list of tracks has been entered,
press the

then play in the order they have been entered. Note
