INDEX SEARCH
If the disc includes index numbers, play can be started from any desired index number.

To cancel the index search function

1 Select a track which has index numbers. Press the INDEX button.

Notes
● Not all discs have index numbers. The index system is a
method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (such
as, for example, the movements within classical
symphonies) for easier location of those parts. The liner
notes with the disc usually tell if such index numbers are
included.
2 ● If an index number is selected that is higher than any index
number on that disc, play will start from the last index
INDEX
number point on the disc.
● For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual
designated index point.
● If the disc has no encoded index points, play will begin from
the start of the selected track.
● The index number can be designated only while “01” is
illuminated.
3 Select the desired index number.

 CD SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING
This unit can make a tape deck’s recording synchronized with CD play automatically. With this function, you can record a CD on
tape very easily and more precisely.
This recording method needs a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck’s operation manual to
know whether it is compatible or not.)
* This unit and the tape deck must be placed close to each other so that they can receive the signals from this unit’s remote control
transmitter at the same time.
