Program Function

The program function allows you to store your favorite tracks from any disc in the player's memory. To program a sequence of tracks, the C 538 must be in STOP mode (Press the [⏹] STOP button on the CD8 remote to enter STOP mode).

Programming Tracks

The following procedure applies to both CD tracks and MP3/WMA files,

(Note: Using CD tracks as a reference in this procedure):

  1. Start Programming: Press the [PROGRAM] button on the remote control. The display will show “PRO1- 01” (or “PRO1- 001” for MP3/WMA files), indicating the first program number and the default track.
  2. Select Track: Use the number buttons (⏮/⏭ or FILE ▲/▼) on the remote control to enter the track number you want to program. For example, press “5” to select track number 5.
  3. Confirm Track: Press [PROGRAM] again to save track number 5 as the first programmed track. The display will change to “PRO2- 05.”
  4. Add More Tracks: For the second program number, repeat the process. For example, press “9” and then [PROGRAM] to save track number 9 as the second programmed track. The display will update to “PRO3- 09.”
  5. Continue Programming: Repeat steps 2 to 4 until all desired tracks are entered. You can program up to 20 CD tracks or 65 MP3/WMA files. If you exceed this limit, “FULL” will be displayed.
  6. Start Playback: Press [⏵] to begin program playback.
