You might find that too many discs make it hard to find the disc you want. This player has a feature that lets you group discs. When you insert a disc to which you have assigned a group, the group number indication (e.g., Group 1) appears in the display. The player has 10 preset groups, such as "JAZZ" and "TOPS," and each group can contain up to 100 discs. You can also put a disc into multiple groups.

You can enjoy Continuous, Shuffle, or Repeat Play only within a certain group (Group Play). You can also scan groups (Group Scan) or discs in a specific group to find the group or the disc you want quickly.
