ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS

IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:

Use ROBO START (1) in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play between the CD-2000X two CD players (one track from one side, then one from the other). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts immediately with no blank or “dead” space. ROBO START causes one side of the CD player to play when the other side is paused.

1.Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/ CONTINUOUS BUTTON (3).

2.Press the ROBO START BUTTON (1) to activate ROBO START. Play will alternate between the two CD players. At the end of a track, the playing side pauses and the other CD deck plays a track. At the end of this track, the playing side pauses and the first CD deck resumes play.

IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:

If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE

(in CONTINUOUS MODE or during normal play), play will not alternate automatically. Pressing pause on the playing side will cause the other side to play.

1.During normal play, set a cue point on the other side of the CD player.

2.Press the ROBO START BUTTON (1) to activate ROBO START (the button will blink).

3.Press PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (17) on the playing side to begin play from the cue point on the other side.

NOTE: Pausing the playing side in the middle of a track will cause the other side to play. When that track ends, play will begin from the middle of the track where play was paused.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

•If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.

•If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.

•If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
