PROGRAMMED-PLAY OPERATION  13

The FL 8380’s advanced programming capability
enables you to preset specific tracks of any CD
and the order in which tracks play, repeat specific
discs or tracks or repeat all discs and tracks.

Programmed play allows you to program up to
32 tracks (from one or more CD’s) or complete-
disc play-through into the FL 8380’s memory. To
begin programming the FL 8380, press the
Program button 

9 on the remote control.

The PROGRAM indicator will light in the
Information Display

You may now begin to enter the discs and tracks
in the order in which you wish to have them
play. Once the PROGRAM indicator is lit,
P - 0 1

will appear in the Information Display,

replacing the track time. This indicates that you
are about to program the first track.

Press the Disc-Select button 

B 0 to choose

the first disc to be programmed (unless you
choose the current disc), and note that AL will
flash in the Information Display. To have all
tracks on the disc play in order as the first pro-
gram step, press the Program button

again. To select a single track on the disc, press
the Numeric buttons

desired track (see page 10 how track numbers
must be entered). You may also use the Skip
buttons

and track are selected, press the Program but-
ton

on the right side of the Information Display will
change to P - 0 2.

You may now select another disc and/or track
for the next program step, following the instruc-
tion shown above. When the program step is
selected, press the Program button 

9.

Repeat this procedure for each program step
until you have completed the desired program-
ming. Press the Stop button 

8 5 once to

complete a program sequence, or press Play
6 (Play/Pause 9 on the front panel) to
begin immediate play of a program sequence. If
the maximum of 32 program steps is reached,
the program-step indication at the right side of
the Information Display will go out, and the disc
and track that have been programmed as the
first program step will be shown.

Once a program list has been entered, press the
Play button 

6 (Play/Pause 9 on the front

panel) to begin listening to the sequence. After
the entire program has been played, the FL 8380
will stop. As long as the Stop button

has not been pressed twice and the PROGRAM
indicator remains lit, you may repeat the pro-
grammed-play sequence again by pressing the
Play button 

6 (Play/Pause 9 on the front

panel).

Pressing Stop button 

8 5 twice will return

to normal mode and the PROGRAM indicator will
