4 – CD/SD/USB playback

Playback area

The range of tracks that can be selected for playback on the
Home Screen is called the "playback area".
When using audio CDs and CD-R/CD-RW discs with MP3 and
WMA files, the entire disc is always set as the play area.
When using SD cards and USB flash drives, you can set folders as
the play area.
Limiting the play area makes selection of playback tracks easier
when you have numerous recorded files on an SD card or USB
flash drive.

Setting the playback area

When the current source is USB or SD, press the 9 [P.AREA] but-
ton with the shift mode active (SHIFT indicator lit) or press the
remote control P.AREA button to set the play area.
