Repeat Button

Click on the repeat button during play to turn on repeat play mode. Repeat play has three modes of operation which are selected by using the Settings menu:

1) One track - The track that is currently playing will repeat..

2) One disc - The disc that is currently playing will repeat. (default)

3) All discs - Repeated playing of all audio discs in sequence.

Note that the repeat play mode can be entered only when a disc is playing. Repeat mode can be canceled by clicking on repeat, stop, eject, or one of the disc select buttons. If One track mode is selected, repeat can also be canceled by clicking on the track- or track+ button. During repeat play, the information window will display the repeat mode that is currently selected.


Random Button

Click on the random button during stop to turn on random play mode. Random play has two modes of operation which are selected by using the Settings menu:

1) One disc - The tracks of the currently selected disc will be played at random.

2) All discs - The tracks of any audio disc will be played at random.

Note that the random play mode can be started only when stopped is indicated in the information window. If All discs mode is selected, random play mode may also be started before a disc is selected (when select a disc number is indicated in the information window). All buttons are locked out during random play mode with the exception of display, mute, random, and stop. Random play can be canceled by clicking on the stop button. If you click on the random button during random play, a new random track will be played. During random play, the information window will display the random mode that is currently selected.


Display Button

Clicking on the display button will change the track and time display mode. There are three display modes:

1) The current disc track and time are displayed.

2) The total disc playing time and the total number of tracks are displayed.

3) The remaining disc playing time is displayed.

The available display modes will depend upon the current operational mode. For example, during stop mode (when stopped is displayed in the information window),  the remaining disc time cannot be displayed.


Mute Button

The mute function will mute both the headphone and rear panel outputs of the MBR-7. When muting is on, a red indicator below the mute button will be visible. Note that the muting can be turned on or off only when a disc is playing. Muting will be turned off automatically when a new disc is selected.


Disc Select Buttons

The disc select buttons are used to select the current disc for playback. When you click on a disc select button, the MBR-7 may load the disc immediately to read content information from the disc depending upon whether or not the MBR-7 has loaded that disc previously. If the selected disc is an audio disc, the total number of tracks and total playing time will be displayed. If the selected disc is not an audio disc or if no disc is present, a dialog box with an error message will appear. If a disc is currently playing and another audio disc is selected, the newly selected disc will start playing automatically after loading.

The settings menu is used to select the different modes for random and repeat play. You may close the MBR-7 CD Player application by selecting Exit or double clicking the control-menu box (upper left corner).
