5. To remove a compact disc, simply press the OPEN/
CLOSE key and wait for the tray to slide out. Then grasp
the disc by its edges and lift it out. Remember to close the
tray if you are not going to be using your player immedi-
^ ately.
Playing the Complete Disc
If you simply want to play the whole disc, close the tray by
pressing PLAY. Once the contents list on the disc has been
read and the laser pick-up has reached the beginning of
the first track, the first track number appears above TRACK
and play starts.
The playing time of each track is counted off and displayed
above MIN and SEC.
As each track ends the track number jumps on, followed
by the display of the playing time of the new track.
As soon as all the tracks have been played, the disc stops
and the display shows the total number of tracks on the
disc and the total playing time.
Going back to the Beginning of a Track
You can go back to the beginning of a track which is being
played, by pressing PLAY again. The track then starts
again from the beginning.
Moving to AnotherTrack(l< < TRACK > >1)
Selecting a Later Track-Press the TRACK key to for¬
ward ( > > I) unit the desired track number appears above
TRACK. If you press TRACK when playing the last track,
the ERROR indicator will light, reminding you that there is
no next track, and play continues with the last track. If
player is in the repeat mode, the ERROR will not light, and
^ play will continue with the first track.
Selecting a Previous Track-Press the TRACK key
( I < < ) until the desired track number appears above
TRACK.
If you press (I < < ) during the first track, the ERROR will
light, reminding you that there is no previous track, and
play continues with the first track. If the player is in the
repeat mode, the ERROR will not light, and play will con¬
tinue with the last track
Finding a Particular Passage (< < SEARCH > > )
During play, you can quickly locate a particular passage in
a track by pressing < < SEARCH and SEARCH > > .
While you hold < < SEARCH down, the laser pick-up runs
back towards the beginning; while you hold SEARCH > >
down, the laser pick-up runs towards the end. By using
< < SEARCH and SEARCH > > alternately, you can find
any part of any passage. When you release the key, play
restarts at once.
During search, the laser pick-up moves at three successive
speeds : for the first seconds relatively slowly, thereafter
faster, and maximum speed is reached after approximately
10 seconds if you continue to hold down the key.
At the first two speeds the sound of the disc remains
audible, though accelerated, unless you have also pressed
PAUSE; after that it disappears. When searching for a
passage by ear it is advisable to release the key at that
moment; you then keep the sound as an aid to searching.
If, by pressing < < SEARCH, you take the laser pick-up
beyond the run-in of the first track, the ERROR lights and
the laser pick-up stops at the beginning of the track. The
disc continues to spin, however, so that play resumes
when you release the key. If by pressing SEARCH > > ,
you take the laser pick-up beyond the run-out of the last
track, the ERROR lights, and the laser pick-up jumps back
about 10 seconds into the disc and remains at that point
until you release the key. This is to prevent the disc stop¬
ping unexpectedly during search.
Holding Play at the Start of a Track or a Pas¬
sage/ Interrupting Play (PAUSE)
By pressing PAUSE you can stop the laser pick-up exactly
at the start of a track or a passage.
To this end, you first press PLAY, immediately followed by
PAUSE, when starting play of the complete disc, going
back to the beginning of a track or beginning play with a
specific track.
When moving to another track or searching quickly for a
particular passage, you first press PAUSE and then I < <
TRACK > >1 or < < SEARCH > > , as applicable.
To show that you have pressed PAUSE, the PAUSE in¬
dicator will light.
At the moment you want to start play, press PAUSE again.
The PAUSE indicator will go out.
For short play interruptions, you can also press PAUSE.
The disc continues to spin, but the sound stops, and the
PAUSE indicator now also lights. If you press PAUSE
again, the sound re-starts at the exact point where it was
interrupted. The PAUSE indicator will go out.
Repeating the Disc (REPEAT)
If you want to hearthe whole disc again, press the REPEAT
key before play ends. The REPEAT indicator will light, and
the disc will play continuously until you either press the
REPEAT key again, or press the STOP key or the
OPEN/SLOSE key. In the first case the disc will play on to
the end before stopping, in the other two cases play will
stop at once. The REPEAT indicator will go out.
Stopping Play (STOP or OPEN/ CLOSE)
T o end play before the end of the disc, you press the ST OP
key. The display then shows the total number of tracks on
the disc and the total disc playing time. If you also want to
take out the disc you end play by pressing the OPEN /
CLOSE key. The indication "-" then appears again on the
display.
PROGRAMMING
Instead of playing a complete disc, you can choose a
number of tracks, and play only these. You can even
decide on the playing sequence. It is also possible to play
all the tracks in a different sequence to that on the disc.
To do this, it is necessary to store your choice in the from
of a program in the memory of the player. The memory will
accept a maximum of 20 entries, which means that at most,
20 tracks can be stored. You can, however, only store each
track once. If you exceed the maximum of 20 tracks, the
ERROR indicator lights to remind you that the memory is
full and cannot accept any more commands.
Programming is only possible when the disc is loaded and
the tray is closed with OPEN/ CLOSE. The highest track
number that can be stored is then shown on the display
and determined at the same time, so that errors in this
respect are precluded.
