1. LOADING/EJECTING DISCS

The DCD-PRO1000™ can only play 3 and 5 inch CDs. Odd shaped, and oval CDs are not compatible. When

loading a CD into the transport tray, always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 6). Load the disc label side up

and place it in the disc tray. Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). To remove a disc from the tray

press the EJECT BUTTON (1), see Figure 7.

CAUTION:

•

NEVER attempt to load any other objects besides a 3" or 5" CD.

• NEVER attempt to load more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to your unit.

•

NEVER force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction

and damage the transport system.

2. SELECTING TRACKS

Select a desired track by using either of the two TRACK BUTTONS (3 & 4). Tapping the TRACK BUTTONS

(3 & 4) once will select either the next higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (3 &

4) to change tracks continuously at a faster speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (3 & 4) to select a

new track during playback (a track is already in play mode) the new track you selected will immediately begin

playback as soon as the search operation is completed.
