What does "Stop Push" mean?

    Brother Malcolm gave me an awesome mini-component system for Christmas. It plays both CDs and MP3s. The latter function makes me especially happy, as I have several CDs full of them. (And I mean FULL; between 100 and 200 tunes on each.) So we were trying to figure out how to work the Shuffle function so I could get maximum joy therefrom. The instructions said to push the Play Function button on the remote. I did several times but the display just read "STOP. PUSH." we were flummoxed. Then I just went, "Oh," and pushed stop. Then the Play Function button worked perfectly straightforwardly. I'm tellin' ya, I'm a genius; just ask anybody.
