Any

Disc

(Advanced

Functions

for

CD,

or

CDV

Play)

This

section

explains

advanced

functions

which

apply

to

any

one

of

the

three

types

of

discs.

How

to

Have

the

Disc

Play

Within

a

Set

Period

of

Time

You

can

program

the

disc

to

play

within

a

specified

period

of

time.

This

is

called

"Auto

Program

Playback."

Decide

how

long

you

want

the

disc

to

play

and

then

enter

half

that

amount

of

time.

The

player

divides

the

selections

on

the

disc

into

what

it

calls

"Program

A"

and

"Program

B,"

playing

both

A

and

B

for

the

amount

of

time

entered.

The

player

pauses

between

the

two

programs.

The

following

procedure

explains

how

to

conduct

Auto

Program

Playback

on

a

CD,

but

you

can

also

use

the

function

for

LDs

with

TOC

and

CDVs.

(Auto

Program

does

not

function

on

LDs

that

do

not

contain

TOC data.)

Locate

the

AUTO

PGM

button

and

number

keys

on

the

Remote

Commander.

To

Ensure

Correct

Operation

When

you

play

an

LD

with

TOC,

press

the

QUICK

START

button

on

the

player

while

in

the

stop

mode

to

turn

off

the

indicator,

then

press

PLAY

(

►

)

to

display

the

AV

calendar

before

you

press

the

AUTO

PGM

button.

When

you

operate

Auto

Program

on

side

B

of

the

LD

in

the

player,

press

SIDE

display

the

three

in

the

AV

Calendar

displays

the

contents

of

the

two

different

programs:

Program

A

and

B,

separated

by

a

pause.

If

you

designate

a

play

time

shorter

than

half

the

length

of

the

disc,

some

selections

on

the

disc

may

not

fit

into

the

time

span

given

and

therefore

may

not

play.

On

the

other

hand,

if

you

designate

a

play

time

longer

than

the

length

of

the

disc,

the

whole

program

of

selections

may

run

on

Program

A,

with

none

running

on

Program

B.

This

is

because

Program

A

always

has

priority

over

B.
