6E Favourite Track Selection (FTS)
If a program contains your favourite selection from a disc, which
you aiways want to play, you can keep it by transferring it to the
FTS memory. Such a selection can then be caiied up again at any
desired time.
Note: When using FTS, the FTS button must aiways be used in
conjunction with other buttons. Do not aiiow more than 5 se­
conds to eiapse before pressing the next button, otherwise the
piayer assumes you have changed your mind, if this happens,
’FTS' stops flashing. Press the FTS button again to restart the
command.
Storing a program in the FTS memory
1. Set up a program as described in section 6D - Programming.
2. Press FTS.
- ’FTS’ flashes on the dispiay.
3. Press STORE.
- ’FTS’ stops flashing.
-The display shows ’FtS’ and the ranking number of this
program for a few moments.
-The program is stored in the FTS memory under this ranking
number and can be recaiied whenever you insert this disc.
If 'ERROR' appears on the display:
The FTS memory is full or the ranking number is higher than 195. You must
erase some old FTS programs to make room to store this new program.
No program has been set up.
4. Stick the FTS sticker with the ranking number on the spine of
the disc hoider.
FTS programmed play
1. Press FTS.
- 'FTS' flashes on the display.
2. Press PLAY/REPLAY.
- 'FTS' now stays lit up.
- Your favourite selection for this disc is now recalled and played
automatically.
If ’ERROR’ appears on the display:
There Is no FTS program stored in the memory for this disc.
You can revert to normal play by pressing STOP/CM twice.
The instructions for playing a program also apply to the functions
of the player during playback of an FTS program.
The FTS memory
The FTS memory will accept 1757 entries. Eight of these are used
for the identification of each disc that you store in the FTS
memory. In addition, 1 entry is used for each track in the program.
The number of discs that you can store is thus dependent on the
number of tracks per disc that you program. If, for example, you
program an average of 5 tracks per disc, there is enough room
for 135 discs - 1757;(8-l-5).
Each disc stored in the FTS memory is allocated a 3-digit ranking
number, which is automatically shown on the display as '001',
'002' etc. There are 195 ranking numbers available. A sheet with
self-adhesive numbered stickers is supplied so that you can
easily distinguish the discs with an FTS program. The sheet also
contains a quantity of un-numbered stickers.
A disc always retains the originally allocated ranking number,
even when you erase the original selection by storing a new one.
A ranking number will only be cancelled if you erase the disc
completely from the FTS memory. This ranking number can then
be allocated to another disc.
By erasing selections, space is made free in the memory. This
also happens if you make a new selection for an already stored
disc; this new selection is in fact stored in a different location from
the old selection.
Where possible the space which is thus made available will be
used for storing new selections, unless the size of the new
selection does not correspond to the resulting free space. As
soon as the memory becomes full, it is reorganized, i.e. the
remaining free space is made available.
This reorganization is indicated by accelerated flashing of the
FTS indication, and can take up to 10 seconds. The player should
definitely not be switched off during this accelerated flashing,
otherwise the entire FTS memory will be erased when it is
switched on again!
Note: Storing a disc in the FTS memory does not mean that you
can only play the selected tracks. You can just as easily play the
complete disc, or compile another, temporary program. The brief
flashing of the 'FTS' indication after the disc is loaded reminds
you, however, thatthis disc has an FTS program. If you then wish
to play that program, press PLAY/REPLAY while ’FTS’ is still
flashing.
To erase an FTS program for one single disc
1. Press FTS.
- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.
2. Press TRACK W or M TRACK repeatedly until the ranking
number to be erased appears on the display below ’FtS\
3. Then press CLEAR immediately.
- 'FtS CLr’vi\\\ briefly appear on the display.
The selection in question has now been erased from the memory.
if you do not know the ranking number of a selection, you must
first insert the disc.
1. First press FTS, then REVIEW.
- ’FtS’ and the required ranking number appear on the display.
2. Then follow steps 2 and 3.
Erasing all FTS programs at once
Note: Only use this to erase the FTS programs for af/your discs,
for example if you wish to start anew.
1. Press FTS and then REVIEW or one of the M TRACK W buttons.

2. While this is still being shown on the display, immediately press
REPEAT and CLEAR simultaneously.

-The FTS memory has now been erased completely.
6F Other possibilities
PLAY MODE switch
This switch can be set to one of three positions:
-NORM: for normal use - each track is played one after the
other.
- COPY: a 3-second pause is inserted after each track before the
next track is played.
When recording from your Compact Disc player, COPY can be
used if your cassette recorder has a track-seeking facility which
detects the gaps between tracks.
- AUTO: stops play at the end of a track until you press PAUSE.
When recording from your Compact Disc player, AUTO enables
you to determine the size of the gaps between tracks yourself.
At a later stage, you can record material from another source in
this gap, for example.

consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performers’ Protection
Acts 1958 to 1972.
