Favourite track selection
Disc titles/DES
A selection of tracks can be stored in the permanent Favourite
Track Selection (FTS) memory. Your favourite track selection of
a CD can then be recalled and played whenever you wish. The
selection will remain stored in the FTS memory even if you
play the entire CD or compile a different program from it. The
number of CDs which can be stored in the FTS memory
depends on the number of tracks in each program.
STORING A FAVOURITE TRACK SELECTION _
To store a selection of favourite tracks you have to transfer a
program to the FTS memory.
• Compile and store a program (as described in 'Storing a pro¬
gram')

The FTS indication is flashing on the display and the mes¬
sage PRESS PROGRAM is displayed.
• Press PROG 12 to transfer the program to the permanent
FTS memory.
The display shows the message FTS PROGRAMMED.

but you want to store a new selection, press after FTS 9 the
button PROG 12 (and not PRESS PLAY as the display will
show).
- If the FTS memory is too full, the display will show the mes¬
sage MEMORY FULL. You must erase one or more favourite
track selections to make room to store a new FTS.

play will show the message MAKE PROGRAM.
- Press REVIEW 10 in FTS mode to review the programmed
tracks in the FTS memory for two seconds.
