On and Off switching (ON/OFF)
You switch the player on by pressing the ON/OFF
key. All the LEDs in the PROGR Display will light.
When you press the ON/OFF key again, the player
is switched off. The PROGR Display will go out.
Loading and Unloading a Disc (PUSH TO OPEN)
You open the disc compartment by pressing the
PUSH TO OPEN boss on the cover. The cover will
lift automatically.
With your hand open, and thumb and fingers
extended, take the Compact Disc out of its holder
and fit it, label side up, on to the spindle in the disc
compartment. Close the cover by pressing it down.
Hold the disc in the same way to remove it.
To prevent the ingress of dust and the formation of
a film on the lens of the laser pick-up, never leave
the cover open unnecessarily. (See also ’Player
Maintenance’.)
Avoid opening the cover during play, because this
will stop the disc.
Playing the Disc (PLAY)
You start the disc by pressing the PLAY key: the
first TRACK Display LED will light. As soon as the
player has read the contents list recorded at the
beginning of the disc, the number of LEDs alight in
the PROGR Display will correspond to the number
of tracks on the disc. All the tracks will then be
played consecutively.
As each track ends, the corresponding PROGR
Display LED goes out, while the lighted TRACK
Display LED moves on one place. Thus the
progress of the playback is always displayed.
When all the tracks have been played, the disc
stops and all 15 PROGR Display LEDs relight; the
TRACK Display LED goes out.
Going on to the Next Track (PLAY NEXT)
If you decide to skip the track being played, and go
on to the next, press the PLAY key again. The
lighted TRACK Display LED moves on one place
and play is suspended until the laser pick-up
reaches the next track.
If you press the PLAY key during the last track, the
ERROR LED will flash, reminding you that there is
no next track. The player will then begin to play the
first track on the disc.
You can also use the PLAY NEXT mode to get a
quick idea of the disc contents by listening to the
beginning of each track.
Beginning at any Specific Track (GO-TO mode)
To start play with a track other than the first, you
must locate the track required on the TRACK Dis-
play. To do this, you press the SELECT button; the
first TRACK Display LED will begin to flash. Press
the SELECT button again and the flashing TRACK
Display LED will move forward one place. You press
the SELECT button successively until the flashing
TRACK Display LED indicates the required track.
Alternatively, you can hold the SELECT button
down and let the flashing TRACK Display LED run
through until it reaches the track required. The
TRACK Display LED will continue to flash under the
chosen track for about 10 seconds, during which
time you must press the PLAY key. The PROGR
Display LEDs will go out one after another until the
chosen track is indicated, then play will begin.
You can also use the GO-TO mode after play has
begun, e.g. to skip anumber of tracks. Play will then
be interrupted from the time the PLAY key is
pressed until the newly chosen track is reached.
If, by mistake, you select a track higher than the
highest track number on the disc, the ERROR LED
will flash. This will happen immediately with a disc
that is already playing, or after the contents list has
been read with a disc that has not yet started. Play
will then begin with the first track on the disc.
If you allow more than 10 seconds to elapse
between choosing the required track and pressing
the PLAY key, the microprocessor in the player will
assume that you have changed your mind, and the
