PROGRAM Button
This button, labeled PROG, allows you to
memorize as many as 20 tracks on the cur-
rent disc for playback in a specific order. For
example, you could instruct the RCD-961 to
play track 5, followed by track 3, followed
by track 8. To begin a program:
1 Insert a disc and press the OPEN/CLOSE
button to close the drawer. The RCD-961
will read the contents of the disc.
2 Press the PROGRAM button on the front
panel or the remote control. The PROGRAM
indicator will light up in the Display, along
with “P:00” indicating that the unit is wait-
ing for the first track to be memorized.
3. To program tracks from the handheld re-
mote control, enter the first track number
using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your
selection will be memorized automatically
and the Display indicator will change to
“P:01”, indicating that one track has been
memorized. Continue entering the rest of
your selections using the DIRECT ACCESS
buttons. Note that there is no need to press
the PROGRAM button as each selection
is memorized as it is entered.
4. To program tracks from the front panel, select
the first track number using the TRACK
buttons. The track number and the pro-
gram number in the display will flash for
3 seconds. While the display is flashing,
press the PROGRAM button to memorize
your selection. Note that once the flash-
ing stops, you will no longer be able to
memorize your selection. To memorize
additional tracks, select them with the
TRACK buttons, pressing the PROGRAM
button after each selection.
Once you have memorized a play list, the RCD-
961 remains in PROGRAM mode until you
open the disc drawer or press the STOP but-
ton twice in succession. If you press the PLAY
button, the memorized program will play
instead of the entire disc, starting with the first
selection in the memorized list.
When a PROGRAM has been memorized,
most functions that would normally effect the
entire disc operate on just the memo-rized
program. For example, the TRACK buttons
advance to the next track in the memorized
program, not the next track on the disc. Like-
wise, the REPEAT button (see below) continu-
ously plays the memorized program, not the
entire disc.
REVIEW Button
This button is used to review the memorized
tracks in PROGRAM mode. Press the button
and the first memorized track number will
appear in order in the Display, flashing for
approximately five seconds. Pressing the
REVIEW button again while the track num-
ber is flashing will continue the review se-
quence, showing the next memorized track.
Continue pressing the REVIEW button to see
the complete memorized track list.
If you do not press the REVIEW button while
the track number is flashing, the review pro-
cess is terminated and the unit resumes what-
ever mode it was in before you started to
review, except that the last reviewed track
number will remain active and shown in the
display.
Note that you may remove a selection from
the play list during the review procedure us-
ing the CLEAR button, as described below.
CLEAR Button
(remote only)
This button allows you to remove a track se-
lection from the memorized program play list
during the review procedure described above.
Follow the review procedure until the desired
track number is flashing. Then, instead of
pressing the REVIEW button to continue, re-
move the displayed track by pressing the
CLEAR button while the number is still flash-
ing. You may then continue the review pro-
cedure.
RANDOM Button
This instructs the CD player to play tracks from
the entire disc in random order. Once all of
the selections have been played once, the disc
will stop playing, unless the REPEAT Button
(see below) has been engaged, in which case
the random play will continue until the STOP
button is pressed. When the RANDOM but-
ton is engaged, the word RANDOM appears
in the Display.
REPEAT Button
This button allows you to repeat the current track
or the entire disc continuously until the feature
is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT but-
ton or pressing STOP. The REPEAT button steps
sequentially through the available options. Press
the button once and the RCD-961 will repeat
just the current track, displaying the indicators
REPEAT 1 in the Display. Press the button a
second time and the RCD-961 will repeat the
entire disc, displaying REPEAT ALL in the Dis-
play. Press the button a third time to cancel the
REPEAT function.
As noted above, REPEAT can be used in con-
junction with the RANDOM play feature.
Note: The REPEAT function is automati-
cally cancelled when the disc drawer is
opened.
SCAN Button
This feature automatically plays the first ten
seconds of each track on the disc (or the memo-
rized program). To activate the feature, press
the SCAN button. The word INTRO appears
in the Dis play. To stop scanning and resume
normal operation at the current track, press
the SCAN button again or press the PLAY
button.
TIME Button
Normally, the RCD-961 displays the elapsed
time of the currently playing track. The TIME
button allows you to step through two al-
ternative time displays. Pressing the button once
displays the time remaining in the current track,
which counts down as the track continues play-
ing. Pressing the button a second time displays
the time remaining on the entire disc (or memo-
rized program). Pressing the button a third
time reverts to the standard elapsed time dis-
play. When the TIME feature is activated, the
word REMAIN appears in the Display.
