BASIC OPERATION
LOADING AND PLAYING COMPACT DISCS
To load a disc, press the OPEN/CLOSE button to open the transport drawer.
When the drawer is fully extended, insert the 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 has been pressed, the disc drawer closes and the CD player scans the contents of the disc. After a short delay, the display window then shows the total number of tracks available on the CD, and total playing time.
In the following example there are 7 tracks, lasting a total of 41 minutes 2 seconds :
If mains power to the A3.5 CD player is switched on with a disc already loaded, it will automatically search for the disc.
The display then indicates STOP, and shows the number of tracks available on the CD and total playing time, as in the above example.
PAUSE
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the front panel whilst a disc is playing pauses playback of the disc. PAUSE appears in the display window instead of PLAY. The disc will continue spinning, but the track does not advance and the A3.5 CD's output is muted.
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again resumes playback from the same place.
PAUSE (Remote control)
On the remote control, PLAY and PAUSE buttons have separate functions at each end of the same button. Pressing PLAY will only control disc play, and pressing PAUSE will not resume play. Note that if the disc is already playing, pressing the PLAY button reverts play to the beginning of the current track.
STOP
Playback can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP button once. On the remote control, press either end of the button, not the middle part.
DISC PLAY
If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the CD player will begin playing from track 1, confirmed by the word PLAY appearing on the left of the display, with 1 in the centre and elapsed time on the right.
When all tracks on the CD have been played, the display shows STOP and total number of tracks on the disc.
Pressing the STOP button a second time opens the transport drawer.
If a disc is loaded but not playing, pressing STOP once will also eject the drawer.
