< While a song is playing back >
It is not possible to change Scenes while a song is playing
back.
Thus, if a program change message for selecting Scenes is
received while a song is playing back, the song will be
halted. Then the Scene will be switched, and playback will
resume. During recording, program change messages are
not received.
