2. LOADING DISCS
the UCD-100 can play both 3 inch (8 cm) and 5 inch (12 cm) compact discs (CD’s). Odd shaped and oval CD’s
are not compatible. When loading a CD into the unit always hold the disc by its' edges and place it in the disc
tray. never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). When using 5 inch/12 cm discs, place the disc in the outer
tray guides (figure 2), and when using 3 inch/8 cm discs, place them securely in the inner guides (figure 3).
CAUtIOn:
• nEVER insert any foreign objects in the disc tray.
• nEVER attempt to insert more than one disc in the disc tray at a time. Doing so may result in severe
damage to the 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.
1. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISC TRAY
this is an electronic operation and can only work when the power is on. Press the OPEN/CLOSE buttON (3)
to open or close the disc tray. Pressing the PLay/PauSE buttON (15), will also automatically close the tray if
it is open and immediately cue any CD that is in it. If the transport tray is left open for more than 60 seconds it
will close automatically to prevent accidental damage to the transport. Again if a CD is left in the transport tray
it will immediately cue to the first song. the disc tray cannot be opened during playback to prevent playback
from being interrupted if the OPEN/CLOSE buttON (3) is pressed accidentally. Stop playback, then press the
OPEN/CLOSE buttON (3).
