CUES:

1.To program a cue point (the spot on a CD at which you want play to start) select a track and push PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the PLAY mode. (PLAY/PAUSE LED glows green).

2.When the CD reaches the approximate musical spot you wish to make your cue, push PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE LED blinks and the unit will enter stutter mode). Move the SEARCH DIAL (9) forward or in reverse until you reach the precise frame is located, at which point you will want the CD to begin play. Push CUE (11). The cue point is now programmed, the blue LED will remain on. Press and hold CUE (11) to preview the cue point. Release CUE (11) to return to the cue point. Press CUE (11) to return to this pre-programmed cue point and play at any time.

Note: Once you have skipped to another track, you may not go back to your programmed cue point. You must begin your cue selection over again once you have skipped to another track. The cue will be preset to the beginning of the selected track. Press the cue button and you will begin at the beginning of your selected track. Start your Cue programming sequence over again.

3.To fine tune your pre-programmed cue point, push the CUE (11) button and the CD will return to the cue point you programmed in step #2. Push PLAY/PAUSE (10) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode at that point. Use the SEARCH DIAL (9) 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 (11) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to the pre- programmed cue point. Repeat step #1 - #3.

NOTE: During fine tuning there will be a stutter effect (to help you find the beat). The stut- tering effect will end when you press the PLAY/PAUSE (10) 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 players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
