3.To fine tune your pre-programmed cue point, push the CUE (22) button and the CD will return to the cue point you programmed in step #2. Push PLAY/PAUSE (21) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode at that point. Use the SEARCH DIAL (8) to move forward or backward to find- the proper Cue point. Repeat step #2. If you decide this cue or starting point is okay, leave the unit alone until you are ready to play.

4.If, however, the selected spot is not exactly where you want it, push the CUE (22) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to the preprogrammed cue point. Repeat step #1 - #3.

NOTE: DURING FINE TUNING THERE WILL BE A STUTTER EFFECT (TO HELP YOU FIND THE BEAT). THE STUTTERING EFFECT WILL END WHEN YOU PRESS THE PLAY/PAUSE (21) TO SAVE THE CUE POINT.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

·If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly (label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.

·If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.

·If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will skip on most or all CD play- ers. Before sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
