VA-76 – Song Options
Chain Mode
The Chain Mode allows you to specify how the
selected Song Chain should be played back. This is
typically a function you set after selecting the desired
Song Chain but before starting playback.
Press the [Auto] field if playback of the next song in
Chain is to start automatically when the current song
is finished.
Press the [Manual] field if you wish to be in control of
when playback of the next song should start. This
means that playback stops automatically at the end of
the current song. To start the next song, you need to
press the [PLAY ®] field.
Note that it is perfectly possible to change this setting
during Song Chain playback. If you start out with
[Auto], you’ll have plenty of time for a drink during a
break. At the end of your break, you could press the
[Manual] field and wait until playback of the currently
selected song is finished. Then press [STOP ■|√] –
and go on entertaining your audience!
Deleting a Song Chain
Deleting a Song Chain is a matter of pressing the
[Delete] field on the Song Chain page after selecting
the Song Chain you no longer need. A deleted Song
Chain cannot be restored (you will have to program it
again).

can no longer be loaded automatically if you change the
[File Name] or if you delete them.
