- If I start the CDTV with a audio CD in and press the playbutton on the front of
- the unit rightaway, the track number is also visible on the LED. But it only works
- one time, if I stop the record or anything, it doesn't come back. As there is
- digits to the right of the clock, why don't they use them allthe time?
- Another point, isn't it possible to have the playing time on the time LED or is
- the clock hardware connected to the display? Is it possible to program the
- display?
