one of your own songs on floppy disk, insert it into
the drive and press the [FLOPPY] field.
To listen to a song on memory card, insert the card

already displayed, press its line.

lower right corner.
You can press this field as many times as necessary

the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
