Playing a complete disc
The complete disc may be played in one of the following
ways:
(a) If the disc is not loaded: open the drawer, load the disc
and press the PLAY button (4).
(b) If the LOAD button (3) is pressed instead of the PLAY
button (4), then the disc information (number of tracks + total time} may
be read before pressing the PLAY button (4).
(c} If the disc is already loaded in the machine: simply press
the PLAY button [4].
The disc may be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP
button (5). If this is done then the player will revert to playing the disc
from the beginning again when the PLAY button (4) is next pressed.
Playing from a specific track
Load the disc and then select the desired track number by
pressing the TRACK buttons (9) and (10] to decrement or increment the
TRACK display (B), until the desired track number is shown. [These
buttons may either be pressed repeatedly or held down for a steady
count, as desired].
You can simplify this operation by using the 0—9 direct entry
keypad on the CRTO remote control handset (see below).
Replay
To restart a track which is already playing, simply press the
PLAY button (4). This will replay the track from the beginning.
Holding Play/Interrupting Play
Pressing the PAUSE button (6) while playing will interrupt
play and mute the output. The laser head will continue to track the disc
at the precise point of interruption until the PAUSE button [6] is pressed
again, when the program will start from exactly the same point.
Whenever the player is in the pause mode the PAUSE header
on the left of the display will be illuminated.
Cueing and Searching
In order to cue the laser head silently to an exact (known)
point on the disc, load the disc, press the PLAY button (4) and the press
the PAUSE button (6) as soon as the first track is ready to play (indicated
by TRACK-OT on the display]. Select the track required by using the
TRACK controls (9) and (10). Then use the SEARCH buttons (7) and (8) to
arrive at the exact timing point required. Press the PAUSE button (6)
when you are ready to start playing.
The above process allows you silently to access a known
place on a disc (track and elapsed time on that track) to an accuracy of
one second. The same process can be carried out with audible cueing by
omitting to use the PAUSE function.
Note that the SEARCH process has three operational speeds
dependent on how long the SEARCH buttons {7} and (8) are kept
depressed.
Programming
The Arcam Delta CD machines can be programmed to play
up to 20 pre-selected tracks from a disc in any order. Each track can be
anywhere in the range 1—929. (NOTE — although tracks in the range
1—99 can be programmed, only those in the range 1-26 give a time
indication on the display].
Programming must be carried out with the disc loaded, so
that the player first knows the actual number of tracks recorded on the
disc. It is not possible to program index points, although they do remain
accessible from the remote control handset during the play of a program,
except when you have programmed only one track number.
To store the track numbers you want to include in a program,
refer to the disc holder and bring up each track number in turn using the
TRACK buttons (9) and (10) to move up or down through the track
numbers, whichever is quickest. !t is of course even quicker to use the
0—9 direct entry key pad on the CR10 handset (see below). The TRACK
display header below the track number will flash on and off. You can
then store a track by pressing the PROGRAM button (11). When a track
has been stored the TRACK header will stop flashing and the PROGRAM
