LOADING AND PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
If mains power to the A3.2 CD player is switched on with a disc already loaded, it will automatically search for the disc and begin playing from the first track.
However, if no disc is loaded, after approx- imately 3 or 4 seconds the unit will display the following:
To play a disc, press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the transport drawer. When the drawer is fully extended, insert the required disc with the label facing upwards and then press either the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY/PAUSE button to close the transport drawer again.
If OPEN/CLOSE is pressed, the disc drawer closes and the CD player scans the contents of the disc. After a short delay, the display window then shows for approx- imately 4 seconds the total number of tracks available on the CD, and total play- ing time, for example:
Display time 0 on the left then replaces
the temporary track and time information, indicating that a disc is loaded but not yet playing.
The “calendar” grid pattern at the right- hand end of the display also confirms tracks available for playing up to the first 20, but remains displayed. In the above example there are 4 tracks on the disc.
BASIC OPERATION
DISC PLAY
If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the CD player will go into play mode, an arrow confirm- ing playback will appear on the left, and the current track and index point will be displayed similar to the following example:
Again, the calendar grid shows playback progress of the first 20 tracks only.
When all tracks on the CD have been played, playback stops and the display reverts to:
PAUSE
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button whilst a disc is playing pauses playback of the disc. A pause symbol ( ll ) appears in the dis- play window next to the play arrow.
The disc will continue spinning but the track does not advance and the A3.2 CD's output is muted.
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again resumes playback from the same place.
INDEX POINTS
Some CDs contain index points within a track to separate a musical piece into dif- ferent movements. If used, these index point numbers (one or two digits, up to 99) will appear in the display under the INDEX graphic. Otherwise, index number 1 will be displayed.
