button causes the opti- cal pickup to scan backward through the recording at high speed. This button works only while the player is in PLAY or PAUSE.
SCAN FORWARD 
. The SCAN 
button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is similar to Scan 
.
NOTE: For the first 4 seconds Scan works at approx- imately 20x the original speed, after holding either SCAN button for more than 4 seconds, the speed is approximately 100x the original speed.
When using SCAN the music will be heard in frag- mentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through it. Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot where you want to resume play.
After a STOP command, or after loading a new disc, you must press PLAY (to activate the TIME display) before the scan circuit will work.

To open the disc drawer, press the OPEN button.
The drawer contains a revolving “carousel” tray that accepts a maximum of five discs. The DISC number in the display with a circle around it identifies the tray location that is aligned with the optical playback mech- anism at the rear of the unit.

DISC# | DISC#(LEFT) | DISC#(RIGHT) |
1 | 3 | 4 |
2 | 4 | 5 |
3 | 5 | 1 |
4 | 1 | 2 |
5 | 2 | 3 |
Do not press NEXT or any of the DISC 1 to 5 buttons during this process. If you do, playback will immediately stop and the tray will close so that the current disc can be returned to its normal place in the tray.
NOTE: Take care that each disc is centred within its recess. A disc that protrudes outside of its recess could jam and suffer damage when the drawer closes and the tray revolves.
To close the drawer, press either OPEN or PLAY. Do NOT push the drawer closed by hand.
