Listening to CDs
Example: Loading a CD for playback in tray DISC1.
1
Press the DISC1 OPEN/CLOSE 
0 button to 
open the tray.
• The power comes on, and tray DISC1 opens.
2
Load a CD and close the tray by pressing the 
DISC1 OPEN/CLOSE 
0 button again.
• “CD READ DISC” flashes in the information display while the
disc is being read.
• Follow steps 1 and 2, repeating the process for DISC2 and
DISC3, pressing the appropriate OPEN/CLOSE 
0 buttons, and
load CDs in trays DISC2 and DISC3 as well.
• The unit will not respond to commands when a specified tray is
being opened or closed or while the unit is switching CD trays.
• 3-CD changer trays cannot be opened during recording even if
recording from an external source. (This prevents noise and
vibration from lowering the quality of the recording.) 
3
Press the DISC SELECTOR 1 button.
• The function is set to CD, and DISC1 playback starts from 
track 1.
• The track number is cleared from the music calendar when the
corresponding track has finished playing.
• In this example, playback proceeds through all of the tracks on
DISC1, DISC2 and DISC3, and stops automatically after the
last track on DISC3 has finished playing. This pattern changes
depending on the first disc selected for play, as described in the
following section. 
When one or more CDs are already in the trays.
• Press the button of the CD tray that you want to start playback
from. Continuous play will start playback from the CD in that
tray. 
• When play starts from DISC2
The CDs are played in the sequence of DISC2 
ΠDISC3 Î
DISC1, and then playback stops automatically.
• When play starts from DISC3
The CDs are played in the sequence of DISC3 
ΠDISC1Î
DISC2, and then playback stops automatically.
If one of the trays does not contain a CD, play skips to the CD
in the next tray in the sequence.
Notes
• The DISC SELECTOR 1, 2, and 3 buttons do not function dur-
ing program and random play modes.
• If a tray is opened and closed when it is not the current tray in
use, the unit temporarily assigns the tray a NO DISC status.
When it becomes time to play the disc in this tray, the disc
information is read, and if there is no disc, the unit will move on
to the next tray.
• The total track time does not always match total play time (time
shown in display window) exactly because the playback time
includes lead-in and lead-out spaces as well.
Playing CDs using the CD Control PLAY

Press the CD Control PLAY 
p button to select the 3-CD changer
function. This automatically starts playback of the disc in the cur-
rently selected tray.

appearing to the immediate right of the CD icon in the display
window.
