Mini Disc Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Land Rover Range Rover, 2004 Land Rover Range Rover, 2003 Land Rover Range Rover, and 2002 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Once the Mini Disc (MD) is in the player, press the mode button to access the MD mode. The MID will display the track number and the time. There is a slight delay between starting the player and the audio beginning as the player has to read the audio data from the disc.

It is also possible to search for a specific track by pressing the direction key. A single press will advance the disc on a track. Holding the button in fast forwards/rewinds through the current track. Releasing the key resumes playing the track from that point.

The MD player has two special functions it can perform:

Track scan function
Random play function

The scan function allows the user to listen to the first few seconds of all the tracks on the disc. The scan function is accessed by pressing the button on the MID marked SC. An asterix will display next to the SC symbol to denote that it is switched on. Once on the player will access each track in turn and play the first ten seconds then move on to the next. To interrupt this and play a selected track the user must press the SC button again.

The Random play function allows the user to play the contents of the MD in a completely random order. This is achieved by press the button on the MID marked RND. Again an asterix will appear next to the RND in the MID to denote that this function is active. Tracks can be searched for using the direction keys but selection will not be sequential, it will follow the random order in the units memory. De-selection of the random mode is achieved by pressing the RND button again.
