TRACK SELECTION

To change track, the track skip buttons PREVIOUS and NEXT on the front panel can be pressed to jump forwards or backwards one track in either direction.

Corresponding TRACK buttons on the remote control are marked << and >> .

If the unit has stopped playing, a specific track can be accessed directly by pressing either PREVIOUS or NEXT to obtain the required track number, then pressing PLAY/PAUSE.

TRACK SELECTION (Remote control)

Simply press the PLAY button to start a CD playing from the first track.

Alternatively, a specific track can be selected directly by pressing one of the ten track number buttons grouped in the centre-section of the remote control. The chosen track then plays after a short delay. To play a track number with two digits, press the second digit button on the remote control within this delay period.

If a track number is chosen which is not available on the disc, for example pressing button number 9 if the CD has only 7 tracks, the words INVALID TRACK are briefly displayed.

SEARCH

The SEARCH buttons on the remote control can be used to fast-forward or fast-rewind during playback in a similar way to a video or tape cassette player. This permits location of particular passages at high speed with the audio playback of the CD still active.

BASIC OPERATION

Pressing the forward-search button ( >> ) fast winds forwards whilst the search backwards button ( << ) fast winds backwards.

As the unit searches through a track, the track time display (far right digits) will be seen to advance rapidly in the required direction. For both directions the unit will return to normal playback when the button is released.

DISPLAYING PLAYBACK TIME

There are three playback time display modes accessed progressively by pushing the TIME button on the remote control. The original mode (e.g. after switch on) shown below indicates the elapsed time for the currently playing track (track 1 playing, 0 minutes 34 seconds in this example) :

Pushing the TIME button once changes the display to show the remaining time for the complete disc with a minus sign to denote reverse counting (track 2 playing, 31 minutes

40 seconds in this example) :

Pushing the TIME button a second time cancels all time indication :

A third press of the TIME button will now bring the display back to the original (elapsed track time) mode.
