LOADING AND PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
NO DISC
To load a disc, press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the transport drawer.
When the drawer is fully extended, insert the disc with the label facing upwards and then press either the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY/PAUSE button to close the transport drawer again.
If OPEN/CLOSE has been pressed, the disc drawer closes and the unit scans the contents of the disc. After a short delay, the display window then shows the total number of tracks available on the CD, and total playing time. In the following example there are 7 tracks, lasting a total of 41 minutes 56 seconds :
STOP 7 41:56
If mains power to the unit is switched on with a disc already loaded, it will automatically search for the disc. The display then indicates STOP, and shows the number of tracks available on the CD and total playing time, as in the above example.
DISC PLAY
If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the unit will begin playing from track 1, confirmed by the word PLAY appearing on the left of the display, with 1 in the centre and elapsed time on the right.
PLAY 1 | 0:01 |
|
|
When all tracks on the CD have been played, the display shows STOP and total number of tracks on the disc.
PAUSE
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the front panel whilst a disc is playing pauses playback of the disc. PAUSE appears in the display window instead of PLAY. The disc will continue spinning, but the track does not advance and the CD's output is muted.
PAUSE 1 | 0:03 |
|
|
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again resumes playback from the same place.
PAUSE (Remote control)
On the remote control, PLAY and PAUSE buttons have separate functions at each end of the same button. Pressing PLAY will only control disc play, and Pressing PAUSE will not resume play. Note that if the disc is already playing, pressing the PLAY button reverts to the
beginning of the current track.
STOP
Playback can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP button once. On the remote control, press either end of the button, not the middle part.
STOP 7
Pressing the STOP button a second time on front panel or remote opens the transport drawer.
If a disc is loaded but not playing, pressing STOP once will also eject the drawer.
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
Press 1:
PLAY 1
Press 7 within about 5 seconds:
PLAY 17
After a small pause, machine plays selected track:
PLAY 17 | 0:01 |
|
|
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, an INVALID TRACK message is briefly displayed (along with elapsed time of last track played).
