Musical Fidelity A3.5 manual Special Features, Scan Introduction, Programmed Play

SCAN INTRODUCTION

The scan-introduction function allows play back of just the start of each track on the disc, for instance to locate a preferred track by ear.

Press INTRO on the remote control, and if the player has stopped, the display will show :

The first ten seconds (approximately) of each track on the CD can then be played in sequence by pressing either PLAY/PAUSE on the front panel, or PLAY on the remote control.

Press INTRO again to cancel introduction search mode. If INTRO mode is cancelled while the A3.5 CD is still playing, the remainder of the entire disc will be played.

PROGRAMMED PLAY

The built-in program memory allows you to store up to 25 track numbers and then play them back in the held order. Each track is stored as a “step” in the program.

With the CD loaded and the player stopped, first press PROGRAM on the remote control. The following is then displayed :

On the remote control, press the numeric button of the track number corresponding to the first track you wish to store (number 3 for example).

SPECIAL FEATURES

That track number will now appear in the display :

Press PROGRAM again on the remote control

-the next program step is selected, (prog 2) and the track number reverts to zero ready for a new entry :

Continue entering track numbers in the same way up to a maximum of 25. If more than 25 tracks are attempted accidentally, the memory will not accept any extra ones, and the display reverts to “prog 1”.

Remember that when entering a single-digit track number, there is a delay of about two seconds before the display accepts the entry - this is to allow time for a second button to be pressed when a double-digit number is required.

If an incorrect entry is made, say track 9 when there are only 7 tracks available on the disc, “INVALID TRACK” is briefly shown, and the entry automatically cancelled.

If at any time you wish to add a track to the list, press the CLEAR button to obtain the next step number. Alternatively, to delete a previous entry, press CLEAR a second time to remove the last entry. Repeated pressing of CLEAR will then erase each step in reverse order.

When the last track number has been selected, press PROGRAM a final time, then the PLAY button to start the program sequence.
