I want to play the 5 cd's sequentially on my RCA DRC 290 automatically.

RCA DRC 290 does not support automatic play. It stops after playing 1 cd so u need to select at each play.

Please rate this.....

Press the numeric input buttons to enter the title and/or chapter number (for DVD), folder and track number (for mp3/wma or jpeg disc) or track number (for VCD and Audio CD). Press to move to another input space. 3. Repeat step 2 as often as necessary. 4. Press to select “PLAY” and then press OK. Items are played in the order of the program list. Playback stops once all items have been played. 5. Press STOP to stop the program playback. • The program list remains until the disc is removed from the player. Press PROGRAM to review the items in the program list during the program playback.
