Custom Filing and Random Play

How to Mange a hundred plus CDs and the options you have when listening to them

Organize your CDs into customized groups

The "custom filing" function gives organization to your CD library. For example on the PD-F27, this function allows you to divide the 300 loaded discs into ten groups (“custom” files) so you can classify discs by type, composer or some other key. The data on discs in custom files is stored in memory, so you can reclassify discs without physically moving them. The same disc can even be put in more than one file. You can also set the player to play only the discs in a custom file – in random order, if you want.

The number of "custom files" you can create differs by models.

PD-F1009, PD-F27, - 10 custom files
PD-F407– 3 custom files

Organize your CDs in customized groups

Pioneer CD Players come with three random play options. 1) All mode plays all discs once or one track from each of the discs in random order: play stops when every track or one track from all the discs is played back.  2) Single mode plays tracks from a single disc in random order; play stops when all tracks on a disc are finished playing. 3) Custom mode sets one track from each of the discs, chosen in random order, in a “custom” file; play stops when 300 or 100 tracks are played back. With so many discs and tracks to randomly choose from, the combinations are literally endless.
