Make sure thatthere are no more than twenty tracks.2 Set the play mode to CONTINUE or PROGRAM(see “Playback Modes” on page 27).NOTEYou cannot use Flash Load if the play mode is set toRANDOM.3 While stopped, press the remote’s FLASH LOADkey.The SS-CDR1 will successively read the beginning ofeach track in the play area.The tracks will be read in the order of playback. Inother words if the play mode is CONTINUE, the trackswill be read consecutively, starting with the first. If theplay mode is PROGRAM, the tracks will be read in theorder of the program.While the tracks are being read, the lower right of thehome screen will indicate FLASH blinking.NOTEIf you press the• FLASH LOAD key when the playmode is RANDOM, the display will indicate CAN,TSELECT, and the data will not be loaded.If you press the• FLASH LOAD key when the playmode is SINGLE, the tracks in the play area will beread successively in the same way as for theCONTINUE setting.If twenty-one or more tracks are registered, data•for the first twenty tracks from the beginning willbe loaded.When the data has been loaded, the lower right of the homescreen will indicate FLASH.4 When FLASH is lit, you can trigger flash-start play-back from a PS/2 keyboard connected to the frontpanel or from an external device connected to theSS-CDR1’s parallel connector.If you’re using a PS/2 keyboard, the CTRL+functionkeys (F1–F12) will flash-start tracks 1–12 (see“Keyboard operations” on page 61).If you’re using the external parallel connector, you’ll beable to flash-start tracks 1–20 (see “Control connec-tions” on page 10).NOTETracks used with flash start must have the samesampling frequency. If a track with a differentsampling frequency is detected while loading thetracks, the display indicates FLASH LOAD, and theunit cancels the track loading (the tracks alreadyloaded are also canceled). The FLASH indicator does notlight up.TIPWhen using a CF card, you can efficiently use the flashstart setting for the desired track by setting the playarea to PLAYLIST and selecting a playlist that containsonly the track you want to flash-start as the currentplaylist (see “Editing a playlist (CF only)” on page 62,“Play area” on page 24).
