Official Manual for Rotel RCD-1072 CD Player Functions and Features

PROGRAM Button

This button, labeled PROG, allows you to memorize as many as 20 tracks on the cur- rent disc for playback in a speciﬁc order. For example, you could instruct the RCD-1072 to play track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track 8. To begin a program:

1. Insert a disc and press the OPEN/CLOSE

button to close the drawer. The RCD-1072

will read the contents of the disc.

2. Press the PROGRAM button on the front

panel or the remote control. The PROGRAM

indicator will light up in the Display, along

with “P:00” indicating that the unit is waiting

for the ﬁrst track to be memorized.

3. To program tracks from the handheld re-

mote control, enter the ﬁrst track number

using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Your

selection will be memorized automatically

and the Display indicator will change to

“P:01”, indicating that one track has been

memorized. Continue entering the rest of

your selections using the DIRECT ACCESS

buttons. Note that there is no need to press

the PROGRAM button as each selection is

memorized as it is entered.

4. To program tracks from the front panel,

select the first track number using the

When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most functions that would normally affect the entire disc operate on just the memorized program. For example, the TRACK buttons advance to the next track in the memorized program, not the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT button (see below) continuously plays the memorized program, not the entire disc.

REVIEW Button

This button is used to review the memorized tracks in PROGRAM mode. Press the button and the ﬁrst memorized track number will appear in order in the Display, ﬂashing for approximately five seconds. Pressing the REVIEW button again while the track number is ﬂashing will continue the review sequence, showing the next memorized track. Continue pressing the REVIEW button to see the complete memorized track list.

If you do not press the REVIEW button while the track number is ﬂashing, the review process is terminated and the unit resumes whatever mode it was in before you started to review, except that the last reviewed track number will remain active and shown in the display.

Note that you may remove a selection from the play list during the review procedure using the CLEAR button, as described below.

RANDOM Button

This instructs the CD player to play tracks from the entire disc in random order. Once all of the selections have been played once, the disc will stop playing, unless the REPEAT Button (see below) has been engaged, in which case the random play will continue until the STOP button is pressed. When the RANDOM button is engaged, the word RANDOM appears in the Display.

REPEAT Button

This button, labeled REPT allows you to repeat the current track or the entire disc continuously until the feature is cancelled by disengaging the REPEAT button or pressing STOP. The REPEAT button steps sequentially through the available options. Press the button once and the RCD-1072 will repeat just the current track, displaying the indicators REPEAT 1 in the Display. Press the button a second time and the RCD-1072 will repeat the entire disc, displaying REPEAT ALL in the Display. Press the button a third time to cancel the REPEAT function.

As noted above, REPEAT can be used in con- junction with the RANDOM play feature.

Note: The REPEAT function is automatically cancelled when the disc drawer is opened.

TRACK buttons. The track number and the

program number in the display will ﬂash

for 3 seconds. While the display is ﬂashing,

press the PROGRAM button to memorize

your selection. Note that once the ﬂashing

stops, you will no longer be able to memo-

rize your selection. To memorize additional

tracks, select them with the TRACK buttons,

pressing the PROGRAM button after each

selection.

Once you have memorized a play list, the RCD-1072 remains in PROGRAM mode until you open the disc drawer or press the STOP button twice in succession. If you press the PLAY button, the memorized program will play instead of the entire disc, starting with the ﬁrst selection in the memorized list.

CLEAR Button

(remote only)

This button allows you to remove a track se- lection from the memorized program play list during the review procedure described above. Follow the review procedure until the desired track number is ﬂashing. Then, instead of press- ing the REVIEW button to continue, remove the displayed track by pressing the CLEAR button while the number is still ﬂashing. You may then continue the review procedure.

SCAN Button

This feature automatically plays the ﬁrst ten seconds of each track on the disc (or the memo- rized program). To activate the feature, press the SCAN button. The word INTRO appears in the Display. To stop scanning and resume normal operation at the current track, press the SCAN button again or press the PLAY button.

TIME Button

Normally, the RCD-1072 displays the elapsed time of the currently playing track. The TIME but- ton allows you to step through two al-ternative time displays. Pressing the button once displays the time remaining in the current track, which counts down as the track continues playing. Pressing the button a second time displays the time remaining on the entire disc (or memorized program). Pressing the button a third time reverts to the standard elapsed time display. When the TIME feature is activated, the word REMAIN appears in the Display.
