Using the Program Function on the C 568 Compact Disc Player

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 568 must be in STOP mode (Press the [⏹] STOP button on the CD9 remote to enter STOP mode). 

Programming Tracks

Using the CD 9 remote control, follow these steps:

  1. Start Programming: Press the [PROG] button on the CD 9 remote control. The display will show “P00 T000,” with “000” blinking, indicating that the player is awaiting the first program entry.
  2. Enter First Track: Use the Direct-Entry numeric keypad to enter the first track in your sequence. For example, press “5” to enter track number 5. The front panel display (VFD) will then show “P01 T005,” with “005” blinking three times.
  3. Enter Second Track: The display will revert to “P02 T000,” indicating that the player is ready for your second program entry. For example, press “8” to enter track number 8. The VFD will show “P02 T008,” with “008” blinking three times.
  4. Continue Programming: Repeat steps 2 and 3 to store other track numbers in memory, up to a maximum of 40 entries.
    • CD Tracks: When you reach P40, the three blinking digits will continue flashing and won’t stop, unlike the previous 39 entries.
    • MP3/WMA Files: If you attempt to program more than 40 tracks or files, “P-FULL” will be displayed on the VFD.
  5. Finalize Program: Press [PROG] to finalize the program. The VFD will show the last programmed number and track.
  6. Start Playback: Press [⏵] to start playback of the first programmed track. Use [PLAY/PAUSE/SKIP] to skip forward or backward through the programmed tracks.

Notes

  • To select file number “119” in a disc with 100 or more MP3/WMA files, press “1” twice and then “9.”
  • Pressing the [⏹] key during programming will stop the sequence and clear all currently programmed tracks or files. The VFD will revert to displaying the total number of tracks and total playback time for an audio CD, or the total number of files for MP3/WMA.
  • Pressing the [⏹] key twice during program playback will delete the entire program list.

Reviewing/Editing the Program List

  1. Review Program: Press [PROG] to review programmed entries.
    • If you are in programming mode, press [PROG].
    • If during program playback, press [⏹] once, then [PROG].
  2. Change Programmed Track: The front panel display (VFD) will show the first Program Number and the corresponding blinking programmed track. Use the Direct-Entry numeric keypad to change the track. Press [⏮/⏭]] to move forward or backward through the programmed tracks and make changes as desired.
  3. Delete a Programmed Track: To delete a particular program sequence during review, press the [CLEAR] key.
    • Example: To delete “P34 T067” from a total of 40 entries:
      - Display “P34 T067,”
      - Press [CLEAR],
      - Display “P34 T000” (with “000” blinking),
      - Enter a new track number or press [PROG] to finalize the deletion.
      If [PROG] is pressed without entering a new track, the total entries will be reduced to 39, and the program sequence will adjust accordingly.
  4. Finalize Changes: After finalizing your changes or completing your review, press [PROG] again.

Program Playback

  1. Play Program: To play the stored program, press [⏵] while in “PROGRAM” mode. The “PROG” icon will appear on the display, indicating program playback. During Program Play, the SKIP buttons will only access tracks in the program list.
  2. Partial Playback: To play only a portion of the stored program, start playback and press SKIP to jump over tracks you don’t want to hear.

Stopping or Deleting the Program

  1. Stop Program Playback: Press [⏹] once to stop Program Play. The track list remains in memory, and you can press [⏵] to restart the program.
  2. Clear Program Memory: Perform any of the following steps to clear the program memory:
    • Press [⏹] twice during program playback.
    • Press [⏏] to open the disc tray.
    • Switch off the C 568 by pressing the Standby button.
    • Switch to another source by pressing the front panel’s [SOURCE] button or the [USB] source button on the CD 9 remote control.
