TASCAM, creators of the most innovative CD products for installation, have released the RC-20 Direct Play Remote. The RC-20 brings instant playback through flash start to the CD-500 or CD-500B – the only CD players available with flash start capability.
A set of 20 pushbuttons on the remote play the first 20 tracks on a CD when plugged into the remote jack on the CD-500 or 500B. The simple-to-use remote includes space to label each track to help locate the target material. A Stop/Load button is also available for preloading tracks and stopping playback.
