To set a cue point, follow these instructions:

1.Use the TRACK SKIP (15) to find the track you wish to play. Listen to the track and when the track gets to the approximate spot, push the PLAY/PAUSE (17) button, and if the cue LED is not blinking (indicating the unit is ready for you to set the cue) press the CUE BUTTON you wish to assign the cue to (CUE 1 or CUE 2), than you must touch the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9) to fine tune the memorized cue point, adjusting the CUE POINT forward or backward. The unit will go into CUE MODE (cue LED will be lit) and the location indicated on the display will be the memorized cue point. Push the PLAY/PAUSE (17) button, and the unit will instantly play from the spot selected. If you don’t want to memorize the adjusted CUE POINT, after touching the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9), push the CUE BUTTON (with the blinking LED) and then the PLAY/PAUSE (17) button.

When you use the DIRECT ACCESS BUTTONS to set a cue, the track, minute, second and frame are always in elapsed time. If the unit’s time display is in TRACK REMAIN or TOTAL REMAIN mode, the track, minute, second and frame displayed will be the remain time and not the the track, minute, second and frame you entered.

ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS

IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:

Use ROBO START in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play between the two sides of the CD player (one track from one side, then one track from the other side). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts immediately from the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of every track). ROBO START causes one side of the CD player to play, while the other side is paused.

1.Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/ CONTINUOUS (11) button.

2.Press the ROBO START (1) button to activate ROBO START (the button will blink). Play will alternate between the two sides of the CD player. At the end of the track, the playing side will pause, and the other side will play. At the end of this track, the playing side will pause, and the other side will play. The CD player will continue to alternate between the two sides until you stop it (after the last track of the CD, it goes back to the first track).

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.

IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:

If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE (in CONTINU- OUS 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 (1) button 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.

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.
