4 – CD player—Auto spacing

Auto spacing

This function inserts a gap of about four seconds between tracks on playback. This can be useful when recording to tape, so that automatic searching can take place more easily on tapes recorded from disc (see “Search keys” on page 20).

NOTE

This function is only available from the remote control unit. It is not possible to use this function with the main unit only.

If you press the AUTO SPACE key while the play- back is automatically paused between tracks as a

result of the auto space function being enabled, the unit remains in pause mode, and playback will not restart after the auto pause time is elapsed.

If you press the AUTO SPACE key while playback is taking place, and the auto space function is enabled, the auto space function is then cancelled.

You should note that track access in modes other than the “continue” mode, and for discs which are dirty or scratched, may take some time, and the gap between tracks on playback will therefore exceed four seconds.

Timer playback

By using an external timer, you can set the CD player to play the loaded disc automatically when the unit is turned on at a pre-determined time.

Consult the timer’s documentation for details of how to set it, and for connection of its power outlet to the CC-222MKII.

Make sure that the CD TIMER switch of the CC- 222MKII is set to PLAY.

When the timer turns on the CC-222MKII, the disc TOC is read and then playback starts.
