before operating it any further.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect a cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
• Do not disassemble the cabinet. The laser beam used in
this player is harmful to the eyes when uncovered. Refer

Custom Edit
Custom edit is a useful function for editing selections on a disc on your tape. The
following types of custom edit are available with the player.
Editing Desired Selections in a Desired Order
Fade-out at Desired Time - Time Fade
Program play
Program play is a basic type of custom edit that allows you
to edit up to 24 selections as you want. It also allows you
to edit selections on side A separately from those on side
B and check the total playing time during editing.
• Pause program
Allows you to program a pause and edit selections on
side A separately from those on side B (see page 24).
• Program edit
Allows you to check the total playing time during editing
by pressing ►>! AMS and PROGRAM (page 24).
Multi-disc program
Multi-disc program allows you to edit up to 24 desired
selections on up to six discs in the program mode. If you
choose desired selections on the first disc and then open
the disc tray, the player will enter the multi-disc program
mode (page 26).
Editing Selections Automatically According to the Length of Your Tape
Editing navigation
After each step, you can see the proper operation guide of
what you should do next.
Time edit
Time edit automatically edits selections on sides A and B
according to the length of one side of your tape, thus
improving an editing efficiency. It also edits programmed
selections in preference to the others.
It automatically edits selections without changing their
original order on your disc (page 28).
Just edit
Just edit is an improvement of time edit. Like time edit, it
edits programmed selections in preference to the others.
Unlike time edit, however, it automatically edits selections
according to the length of one side of your tape by
changing their original order on your disc (page 28).
Link edit
When either one side of your tape is not fully occupied by
selections edited by time edit or just edit, “LINK” will blink
together with the selection numbers in the music calendar
for those selections fitting the remaining tape length. Link
edit links the fitting selections to edited ones whether the
former is on the current disc or a new disc (page 29).
Time fade automatically causes selections to fade out at
specified time. This function is useful for replacing multiple
discs or editing multiple 8-cm (3-inch) CDs because the
player will retain the remaining playing time when it is
stopped or the disc tray is opened during play.
Time fade is available in the continuous play, program play,
shuffle play, and repeat play modes. It operates twice for
both sides (see page 30).
Inserting a Blank Space Between Selections
- Auto Space
Auto space automatically creates a 3-second blank space
between selections during play to arrange them at an equal
intenral (page 31).
Locating Highest-level Portion of Disc
- Peak Search
When editing selections on your tape, you need to adjust a
recording level. An excessively high recording level results
in distorted sound while an excessively low recording level
causes great noise.
Peak search repeatedly plays the highest-level portion of
selections on your disc or programmed selections for four
seconds. As such, peak search allows you to optimize a
recording level (page 31).
23
Recording Programed Selections on a Tape
You can program up to 24 selections in a desired order according to the length of your
tape on which they are to be recorded. You can also program selections to be recorded

player’s memory when the disc is removed from the player.
When the disc is inserted again, the last play mode will be
recalled. However, if you press ► while the disc tray is
open, the current piay mode will take priority over the last
play mode memorized.
Where are custom files memorized?
Custom files are memorized not in the disc but ih the
player’s memory. So you can’t enjoy custom files with the
other players without memorizing custom files again.
Custom files are retained for approximately 1 month
without AC power supply.
To check the items of the custom files
Press FILE RECALL without the disc inserted (while
“-NO DISC-” is displayed). Each time you press FILE
RECALL, the items of the custom files and items of the

To clear all custom files of a disc at once
Each time you press FILE RECALL, the contents of disc
memos and the items of custom files are displayed in the
window. When the disc memo is assigned in a disc, you
can see these displays even if a disc is not inserted in the
player.
When the display which you want to clear appears, press
ERASE. All the custom files of a disc are cleared and
“FILE ERASE” will appear in the window.
How many discs can be assigned to custom files?
You can give custom files to up to 185 discs.
But it takes two discs’ memory in the following cases:
• When disc memo, custom index, program bank and
delete bank are memorized for one disc at the same
time.
• When more than 9 custom indexes and disc memo are
memorized for one disc at the same time.
• When custom index, program bank and delete bank are
memorized for one disc at the same time.
When the memory becomes full of custom files.
"FILE FULL” indication appears when FILE is pressed
while no custom file can be memorized for the disc
currently put in the player. To make a custom file for the
disc, clear the custom file of another disc.
To clear custom files or to reset memory of all discs at once
When the disc tray is empty, press POWER to turn on the
player while keeping ERASE and FILE pressed.
