Storing Information About CDs (Custom Files) What You Can Do With the Custom Files The player can store four types of information called "Custom Files" for each disc. Once you have stored Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls what you have stored whenever you select the disc. Note that Custom Files are erased if you do not use the player for about one month. You can store this information: When you use Disc Name (page 20) Delete Bank (page 24) Group File (page 24) Artist File (page 26) You can Label discs using up to 20 characters Delete unwanted tracks and store only the tracks you want Group discs in up to eight groups, to locate them easily Classify discs according to an artist name Labeling Discs (Disc Name) You can label discs using up to 20 characters and have the player display the Disc Name each time you select the disc. The Disc Name can be anything you like, such as a title, musician's name, category, or date of purchase. You can also label the discs in the second player. z When you select a CD TEXT disc The disc title is automatically stored as the Disc Name. If the disc title has more than 20 characters, only the first 20 characters of the disc title are stored (see page 11). When you replace a disc with a CD TEXT disc, the disc title of the CD TEXT disc is also stored automatically. Note that you cannot change the Disc Name of a CD TEXT disc. z You can label discs while the front cover is open Labeling discs on the player MENU/NO YES JOG Where are Custom Files stored? Custom Files are stored not on the disc, but in the I / 1 player's memory. Therefore you cannot use Custom Files when you play the disc on other players. If you replace discs with Custom Files The Custom File information you have stored remains, since the Custom File information is assigned to each slot.
