CALENDAR DISPLAY TRACK LISTING Displays a list of tracks available on the disc. As each track is played its number is blanked out on the Track Listing, giving a simple indication of how much of the disc has been played and how much remains. The number for the current track being played blinks. The display shows up to 16 numbered tracks.

MEMORY During Program Play or programming for Program Play, MEMORY will light up.

STATUS A right-pointing arrowhead , located near the left edge of the time display, lights up during PLAY. Two vertical bars indicate that the player is in PAUSE. In STOP mode the display reverts to showing the total number of tracks and playing

time of the disc.

no dISC When no disc is present or when you load a disc that cannot be read (because it is dirty or is upside-down) “no dISC” lights up in the display.

REMOTE RECEIVER An infrared sensor, located at the right- hand portion of the display window, receives commands from the remote control. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote control may not work.

4. OPEN

Press this button to open the disc drawer, and press it again to close the drawer. If this button is pressed while a disc is being played, playback will stop, the pickup will reset to the beginning of the disc and the drawer will open. Opening the drawer will also delete the players memory for Program Play. When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY or by gently pushing the drawer inward.

NOTE: The disc drawer is opened and closed by an internal motor. Do not close the drawer by hand with the power off.

When the drawer closes, the player scans the disc’s TOC (Table Of Contents) and displays the total number of tracks and playing time on the disc. If you press PLAY to close the drawer this information is skipped, and play commences immediately at Track 1.

5. PLAY/PAUSE

This dual-function button alternates between starting and stopping playback. Press to start play or to resume play after Pause. During play, press this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping the optical pickup at its current position on the disc. The PLAY mode is identified by a right-pointing arrowhead in the display. The

PAUSE mode is identified by two vertical bars . To resume playback at the exact point where it stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don’t want to resume play at the same point, you may use the SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup to a different starting point before pressing PLAY again.

6. TIME

The TIME button alternates between displaying the elapsed or remaining tracks and time of the disc or program being played. In the default setting, the display will indicate the current track number and time elapsed since the beginning of the track. Press the button once to display the total number of remaining tracks and time of the disc or program being played. Press again to revert to the default, elapsed time display.

7. STOP

Press the STOP button once to stop playback, and re-sets the pickup to the beginning of the disc. The display reverts to showing the number of tracks and total playing time on the disc. If the CD player was programmed to play a selection of tracks, the program will be retained in the player’s memory. Pressing STOP a second time will also delete the program. Pressing STOP twice will also disengage Repeat and Random play if these were engaged.

8. REPEAT

This button engages the Repeat Play mode, an endless-repeat cycle. Press the Repeat button once to select the REPEAT 1 mode, in which only the current track is repeated over and over again. Pressing the Repeat button once again selects the REPEAT ALL mode, in which the entire disc is played from beginning to end, over and over again. Press the Repeat button a third time to cancel the repeat cycle and return to normal operation.

The Repeat Play mode can be used in combination with Program and Random Play modes. When the C521i is in Repeat Play mode “REPEAT 1” or “ALL” will be shown in the Display Panel. Repeat Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will disengage Repeat Play mode.

9. RANDOM

Engaging the Random Play mode will play all the tracks once on the CD in a random order. From Stop, press first the RANDOM and then the PLAY/PAUSE button to engage Random Play mode. During normal playback the Random Play mode can also be engaged by pressing the RANDOM button. The current track will stop playing and the first randomly selected track will commence.

The Random Play mode can be used in combination with the Repeat Play All mode but not with Program Play mode. When the C521i is in Random mode “RANDOM” will be shown in the Display Panel. Press the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play mode and return to normal Play mode. Random Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will disengage Random Play mode.

10. SCAN
The SCAN	button causes the optical pickup to scan backward
through the recording at high speed. This button works only while
the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after
loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit
will work. If Scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan
is silent; if initiated during PLAY the music will be heard in
fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through		GB
it. For the first approximately 50 seconds of a track, scanning will
be at around	3 times the speed, after which scanning speed

increases to around 15 times faster than normal playing speed.

Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot where you want to resume play. If you scan back to the beginning of the disc while playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to normal playback.

The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is

similar to SCAN . If you scan forward to the end of the disc while playing the final track, the scan will stop and the Time display will show the table of contents. (There is no “wrap- around” mode.)

11. SKIP

During playback, press the SKIP button once to skip back to

the beginning of the current track. Press SKIP twice in rapid succession to skip back to the previous track or previous programmed track in Program Play mode, once to reach the beginning of the current track and again to jump to the previous track. When pressing continuously, the player will skip to previous tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of the disc (Track 1) or the first track programmed in Program Play mode.
