RDM (Random):With random, you can listen to the
tracks in random, rather than sequential order, on
one CD or all CDs in a six-disc CD player. To use
random, do one of the following:
Press the CD/AUX button, or for a single CD
player, insert a disc partway into the slot of the CD
player. A RDM label will appear on display.
To play the tracks from the single CD in random
order, press the pushbutton positioned under
the RDM label until Random Current Disc is
displayed. Press the pushbutton again to turn off
random play.
Press the CD/AUX button, or for a six-disc CD
player, press and hold the LOAD button. You
will hear a beep and Load All Discs will be
displayed. Insert one or more discs partway into the
slot of the CD player.
To play tracks from all CDs loaded in a six-disc
CD player in random order, press the pushbutton
positioned under the RDM label until Randomize
All Discs is displayed. Press the same pushbutton
again to turn off random play.
BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio while a
CD is playing. The CD will remain safely inside the radio
for future listening.CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to play a CD
while listening to the radio. The CD icon and a
message showing disc and/or track number will appear
on the display when a CD is in the player. Press this
button again and the system will automatically search for
an auxiliary input device, such as a portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is not connected, “no
input device found” will be displayed.
Using an MP3/WMA CD-R or
CD-RW Disc
The radio will play MP3 and WMA les that were
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW disc. The les can be
recorded with the following xed bit rates: 32 kbps,
40 kbps, 56 kbps, 64 kbps, 80 kbps, 96 kbps, 112 kbps,
128 kbps, 160 kbps, 192 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps,
and 320 kbps or a variable bit rate. Song title, artist
name, and album will be available for display by
the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2.
Compressed Audio
The radio will also play discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA les) and MP3/WMA
les. By default the radio will read only the
uncompressed audio and ignore the MP3/WMA les.
Pressing the CAT button will toggle between
compressed and uncompressed audio format.
