The player is a System level menu item, so it is active in all models.
Starting with the 14MZ the player has always displayed on the screen instead of timers, etc. It is not unique to each model like items in the Linkage and Model menus are. Not sure why it is done that way, but it is the way Futaba does it.
14MZ/18MZ/32MZ are all the same way.

I'll ask the service folks if they have any additional comments and get back.
