Operating Your C/DP-2000 Ultra

Loading Discs

To load a disc, gently slide the plexiglas door open. Remove the disc clamp and place it on the convenient clamp pad on the top of the chassis. Next, load the disc onto the spindle, label side up, and gently place the disc clamp on top of the disc. You'll need to slide the door to its fully closed position to enable the unit to operate. The C/DP-2000 Ultra will read the disc and momentarily display the total time and number of tracks on the disc. Once the player has read the disc’s table of contents, it is ready to play. Press PLAY and the disc will start playing the first track on the disc.

Selecting Specific Tracks

To select a specific track on the disc, press TRACK NUMBER on the remote or TRACK SKIP on the front panel to select the track you want to play. Start play by pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the remote or front panel. Skipping ahead several tracks may require a few seconds due to the nature of the belt drive mechanism and the weight of the clamper.
