The Repeat Play mode can be used in combination with Program and Random Play modes. When the C541i is in Repeat Play mode “REPEAT 1” or “ALL” will be shown in the Display Panel. Repeat Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will disengage Repeat Play mode.

9. RANDOM

Engaging the Random Play mode will play all the tracks once on the CD in a random order. From Stop, press first the RANDOM and then the PLAY/PAUSE button to engage Random Play mode. During normal playback the Random Play mode can also be engaged by pressing the RANDOM button. The current track will stop playing and the first randomly selected track will commence.

The Random Play mode can be used in combination with the Repeat Play All mode but not with Program Play mode. When the C541i is in Random mode “RANDOM” will be shown in the Display Panel. Press the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play mode and return to normal Play mode. Random Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will disengage Random Play mode.

 

10. SCAN

 

 

 

 

 

The SCAN

button causes the optical pickup to scan backward

 

through the recording at high speed. This button works only while

 

the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after

 

loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit

 

will work. If Scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan

 

is silent; if initiated during PLAY the music will be heard in

 

fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through

 

it. For the first approximately 50 seconds of a track, scanning will

 

be at around 3 times the speed, after which scanning speed

 

increases to around 15 times faster than normal playing speed.

 

Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot

 

where you want to resume play. If you scan back to the beginning

 

of the disc while playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts

 

to normal playback.

 

 

 

GB

The SCAN

button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly

forward through the

music. The

behaviour of this function is

 

similar to SCAN

. If you scan forward to the end of the disc

 

while playing the final track, the scan will stop and the Time

 

display will show the table of contents. (There is no “wrap-

 

around” mode.)

 

 

 

 

11. SKIP

 

 

 

 

 

During playback, press the SKIP

button once to skip back to

 

the beginning of the current track. Press SKIP

twice in rapid

 

succession to skip back to the previous track or previous

 

programmed track in Program Play mode, once to reach the

 

beginning of the current track and again to jump to the previous

 

track. When pressing continuously, the player will skip to previous

 

tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of the disc

 

(Track 1) or the first track programmed in Program Play mode.

 

During playback, press the SKIP

once to skip to the beginning

 

of the next track on the disc or next programmed track in Program

 

Play mode. Thus, to sample each song, press PLAY and then tap

 

SKIP after you’ve heard a few seconds of each track. From Stop,

 

press the SKIP

 

button until you’ve reached the track from

where you want to start playback. Press Play to start playback.

12. STAND-BY INDICATOR

The Stand-by Indicator turns on in green when the unit is switched on, and changes to amber when switched to stand-by mode.

REMOTE CONTROL

A wireless remote control is provided with your compact disc player, enabling you to operate play-back functions from the comfort of your chair or from virtually anywhere in the room. For reliable operation there should be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to the front of the CD player. If the player does not respond to remote commands, it may be that this line-of-sight path is obstructed by clothing, paper, or furnishings.

Most of the buttons on the remote control handset have the same effect as the corresponding buttons on the front panel of the disc player. In addition the handset is equipped with some extra buttons and functions, such as the numeric keypad and Program functions.

POWER ON

Press this Green button to switch on the power to the disc player from Standby mode. The green LED will light up.

POWER OFF

Press this Red button to switch to Standby mode from power on mode. The amber LED will light up. This indicates that the AC power is still connected, and that the C541i is ready to receive an ON command from the remote handset or 12V trigger (depending on the setting of the trigger switch #6).

NUMERIC KEYPAD

Using the direct-entry numeric keypad (1 to 10; +10) causes the player to jump directly to the beginning of a numbered track and commence play. Thus to play Track 5, simply press 5. To play Track 20, press: +10, 10. To play Track 36, press: +10, +10, +10, 6.

PROGRAM

The C541i CD player allows for programmed playback of up to 20 tracks in any desired order. To engage Program Play with your desired track sequence in the memory:

1.Press PROGRAM. The “MEMORY” indicator will light up. The display indicates “Pr p:01”, meaning that the player is awaiting the first Program entry.

2.Use the SKIP or the Direct-Entry Numeric keypad buttons to select the first track in your planned sequence. The selected track number will blink in the display.

3.Press PROGRAM to store the selected track number in memory. The display will revert to show Program-Entry mode and advance to “Pr p:02”, showing that the player is ready for your second entry.

4.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to select and store other track numbers in memory, up to a maximum of 20 entries. The display will show “FULL” when 20 tracks have been entered.

5.If you want to review or edit your program entries, press PROGRAM repeatedly to cycle the display through them. When the highest program number is displayed, you can enter additional tracks in the memory by repeating Steps 2 and 3.

6.To play the stored program, press PLAY.”PROGRAM” and “MEMORY” will appear in the display, indicating that a stored program is being played. During Program Play the SKIP buttons will access only the tracks in the program list. So if you want to play only a portion of a stored program, initiate play

and press SKIP to jump over the programmed tracks that you don’t want to hear.
