Playing a CD
With Solo Mini switched on (blue light showing), gently 
insert a CD (label-side up) into the disc slot on the front 
panel. Allow the disc to be drawn in by the motorised 
rollers. 
If ‘CD AutoPlay’ is enabled, the CD plays immediately; if 
disabled, the CD waits for a command from the remote 
or top panel. (‘CD AutoPlay’  is set in the system menu – 
see page 16.) 
In addition to audio CDs, Solo Mini can play 
MP3 and WMA audio files on a CD-R or CD-RW.
