But will it play one shuffle cycle and then stop on its own instead of

Thank you. Graham and Rat are the only two people who've answered that ques-
tion, though that was the third or fourth time I've asked it.
When I said,

I think you can turn on both RANDOM and REPEAT and make it start reshuffling
when it finishes the cycle, or so a Sharp owner told me once before. That
certainly is the case with the Aiwa AM-F70: turn on RANDOM and you'll get
one shuffle cycle, but turn on both RANDOM and REPEAT and it will keep
starting a new cycle when each one ends until you stop it manually, just like
a Sony portable.

Thank you.
