CD - SPECIAL FEATURES

If at any time you make a mistake or wish to delete a track from the list, press the CLEAR button to erase the last step. Repeated pressing of CLEAR will then erase each step in reverse order.

If you wish to check the selection before playing back your program, the CHECK button can be pressed to step through each track in turn. At the end of the check sequence, the display briefly shows:

To play the programmed tracks press PLAY/PAUSE (or INTRO if required, see page 14).

When all programmed tracks have been played, the CD player stops. The same track selection can then be played again by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button.

To cancel this mode, press PROGRAM. The word CONTINUE then briefly replaces track, index and time display.

Note: The entire program contents will be cleared if you open the disc compartment to load another disc, but this does not cancel program mode itself.

AUTOSPACE

The CD Pre’s AUTOSPACE function can be used to insert 4-second silent spaces in between each track as it is played back.

This can be useful when making cassette recordings of CDs. Some cassette recorders feature a track skip or search

function which uses the silent gap between tracks to locate each one individually. However, some CDs do not have long enough gaps between tracks for this function to operate properly.

AUTOSPACE can solve this problem.

Pressing the AUTOSPACE button once activates the function. The legend AUTOSPACE will appear in the display. In this mode, once the CD Pre24 has reached the end of a track the AUTO SPACE graphic will begin to flash and the elapsed time part of the display will change to count down from four sec- onds to zero before play of the next track begins.

When zero is reached the AUTO SPACE legend stops flashing and play continues at the start of the next track.

Press AUTOSPACE again to cancel this mode.

DISPLAY

The CD Pre’s display can be switched off with the DISPLAY button on the remote control when a disc is playing.

However, if the button is pressed without a CD being loaded, or with a disc stopped, track, index and time displays are briefly replaced by the word DISPLAY OFF to con- firm this mode has been engaged, but the display remains lit until play is selected. Pushing the button a second time briefly shows DISPLAY ON to confirm that the function has been cancelled.

When in display-off mode, pressing any but- ton will cause the display to return briefly to confirm the new status before again switch- ing off.
