This area can be used like a 250-MD changer.

stored here.

The system automatically records the CD to the

the contents of the current CD storage status
through the display window.

This function allows you to listen to just a
part of a single track in each album in order to
find a specific album on the HD.

you can play them easily at the press of a
button.
