Setting Up the Remote
Understanding the 2-way remote system
The supplied remote operates under a 2-way remote
system. While you use the remote and the remote’s
display is on, the component responds to signals sent
from the remote by sending signals back to the remote.
Component
During remote operations, point the remote toward the
player at all times.
To avoid unintentional operations, turn off the 2-way
remote system of this or connected player when:
• you connect via CONTROL A1/CONTROL A1
or more components supplied with a remote with the
mark (for example, when you connect this
player to another set of this player or certain
receiver/amplifier). In this case, you need to turn off
the 2-way remote system of the components except
the one you want to use as a main unit for the
system. When you use the remote, make sure to turn
on the main unit.
• you connect this player to a receiver/amplifier
supplied with the RM-TP501, RM-TP501E, or RMLJ301 remote control. In this case, you need to turn
off this player’s 2-way remote system.
To turn off this player’s 2-way remote system, see “To
turn off the 2-way remote system” on page 8.

What You Can Do With the
Custom Files
The player can store four types of information called
“Custom Files” for each disc. Once you have stored
Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls
what you have stored whenever you select the disc.
Note that Custom Files are erased if you do not use the
player for about one month.
You can store this information:
When you use
Disc Name (page 27)
Delete Bank (page 32)
Group File (page 33)
Artist File (page 36)
You can
Label discs using up to 20
characters
Delete unwanted tracks and store
only the tracks you want
Group discs in up to eight groups,
to locate them easily
Classify discs according to an
artist name
Labeling Discs (Disc Name)
You can label discs using up to 20 characters and have
the player display the Disc Name each time you select
the disc. The Disc Name can be anything you like, such
as a title, musician’s name, category, or date of
purchase. You can also label the discs in the second
player.
z When you select a CD TEXT disc
The disc title is automatically stored as the Disc Name.
If the disc title has more than 20 characters, only the first
20 characters of the disc title are stored (see page 15).
When you replace a disc with a CD TEXT disc, the disc
title of the CD TEXT disc is also stored automatically.
Note that you cannot change the Disc Name of a
CD TEXT disc.

Where are Custom Files stored?
Custom Files are stored not on the disc, but in the
player’s memory. Therefore you cannot use Custom
Files when you play the disc on other players.
If you replace discs with Custom Files
The Custom File information you have stored remains,
since the Custom File information is assigned to each
slot. Erase all the Custom Files (Disc Name, Delete
Bank, Group File, and Artist File) of the old disc, and
then file the new disc information in the Custom Files.
