displaying the title of each disc (page 12).

Program memory function for preselecting

your favorite tracks from the discs in all the changer*, and playing them back in the order you want to hear them (page 9).

List up function for directory searching of

discs by their customized titles (page 14). Compact and space saving CD changer unit for vertical, horizontal, suspended or inclined installation in your car. Supplied remote commander enables you to control the CD changer unit installed in the trunk room of your car.

Several optional CD changers can be connected and controlled by the use of the

Sony source selector (not supplied).

Shuffle play function for playing tracks in

random order (page 8).

Repeat play function for playing a track, a

disc or a changer repeatedly (page 8). Switchable two color illumination (amber

and green).

Provided with a digital 12-hour clock. Supplied rotary commander (RM-X3S) which can be operated, like the wiper or headlight switch of your car, while driving.

Custom File Function

You can register customized titles to a maximum of 110 discs* per CD changer (custom file function). These settings will be stored in the memory of the CD changer. Therefore, even if you take a custom-filed disc out of the CD changer, you can still use the same custom file function the next time you play that disc in the same CD changer. Furthermore, if your system has several CD changers connected, you can play that disc in another CD changer and still use the same custom file function, provided that the CD changers are inter-connected with BUS cables.

* If you try to register more than 110 discs, the display

unit will display the "FULL" indication and will not

accept the command for custom-filing. In this case, you

will have to erase the memory of some other discs before

you enter any new ones.
