Notes The SEARCH buttons can be used during play to search all
tracks including tracks not programmed. When programs consist of tracks from more than one disc, if
you change a disc by using the PLAYXCHANGE button, the programmed track on the removed disc is replaced by the same numbered track on the new disc.
If the same number of the programmed track does not exist on the new disc, the program will substitute the highest- numbered track on the new disc.
EXAMPLE:
Program Swap disc 4 (new disc has 9 tracks only)
Disc 1, Track 5 Disc 1, Track 5 Disc 2, Track 8 Disc 2, Track 8 Disc 4, Track 12 Disc 4, Track 9
