Of the two main playback decks (A & B), the one playing a song is always referred to as the current deck and has a yellow background color. It is automatically initialized when songs are loaded in the player. The color lets you easily identify which deck is playing a song and which is the next to go. This can be useful when decks have different output devices assigned to them.
