Be sure to enter a two-digit number, as is printed next to each song on the panel. For example, to select Song 09, first press "0" on the Numeric Keypad, then "9." You can also use the +/- buttons on the Numeric Keypad to step up or down through the preset numbers; holding down the appropriate button continuously changes the number. Note that the +/- buttons have a "wrap around" feature. For example, pressing the + button from the last number returns to Song 01.
