That is the way mine operates. I used to have the 2280 cd player with two transports inside. It worked the best for continuous play and random play. The other disk would already be ready to go after the first finished. The player also had two seperate audio outputs that could be used. Discrete codes were available. As usual, kenwood killed the player and has not replaced all the features in the new ones. Personally, I am sick of new units every year. I wish they would just stick with something for a while and support and improve it. sorry for the rant.
