Press the repeat key once to repeat the current track. The front panel display (19) reads REPEAT SINGLE. Press the repeat key twice to repeat the whole disc. The front panel display reads REPEAT ALL. Press the repeat key a third time to cancel this function.

Using the Repeat A/B Key (23)

To create an A/B loop, start by playing a track. When you hear the part that you want as the beginning of the loop, press A/B to insert the start position. Press A/B again to insert the finish position. A/B playback will automatically begin and will continue indefinitely. To delete, press A/B again, or press the stop button (5) or key.

Using the Front Panel Display (19)

The front panel display shows the disc type, the elapsed time of the track, and the feature that has been selected, for example: REPEAT ALL or REPEAT SINGLE. Press the display button (21) or key to show track time remaining, disc elapsed time, or disc time remaining. Press the dim button (20) or key to reduce the brightness of the display.

Using the 12 V Trigger (31)

This function allows you to turn other components on or off, or to and from stand- by, from the Evolution 505. When the Evolution 505 is switched between stand-by and the operational mode, the 12 V trigger sends a signal from the 12 VDC Out that will switch other components, allowing whole systems or parts of systems to be easily coordinated.

The 12 VDC input allows you to turn the Evolution 505 on or off, or to and from stand-by, from other components.

Note

When the component is in the operational mode, the 12 VDC Out provides 12 V of DC out- put. When the component is in the stand-by mode or off, the DC output is 0 V. The 12 VDC output current is limited to 30 mA. Consult the owner’s reference of the components used in a custom installation to take full advantage of the remote capability of the Evolution 505.
