CD-6600 Compact Disc Automatic Changer (420-5057) Operation II Faxback Doc. # 32151 USING CATEGORY AND SUBCATEGORY NAMES You can assign a category name to each loaded CD, and then use category names to select and play only those CDs that contain the type of music you want to hear. In addition to assigning category names to loaded CDs, you can further define music styles within the same category by assigning your own subcat- egory name to the CD. For example, if you load two jazz CD's and assign a JAZZ category name, you can assign subcategory names such as DIXIE or FUSION. NOTES: The CD changer maintains the selected category and subcategory name by disc number. If you eject a CD, then load another CD as that same disc number, the same category and subcategory names apply to the new CD until you change them. The CD changer saves category and subcategory names even when AC power is turned off. You must assign a category to a loaded CD before you can assign a subcategory to it.
