Overview

This document describes the Yamaha CDC-685/585 Compact Disc Automatic Changer, a 5-disc carousel auto-changer designed for home use.

Function Description

The CDC-685/585 is a compact disc automatic changer capable of playing up to five discs loaded simultaneously on its carousel tray. It supports standard compact discs bearing the "COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO" and "COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO TEXT" marks, as well as 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs. The unit features a full opening disc tray, allowing users to change all five discs at once. A key feature is "PLAYXCHANGE," which enables disc changing while another disc is playing, preventing interruption of playback. The changer offers various playback modes including Repeat Play (single track, full disc, or programmed tracks), Random Sequence Play (random order of tracks from one or multiple discs), and Program Play (customized track order from one or more discs). It also supports CD TEXT, displaying disc titles, artist names, and track names for compatible discs.

For recording purposes, the unit includes "CD Synchronized Recording," which allows synchronization with a compatible Yamaha tape deck to automatically start recording when a CD begins playing. This ensures precise recording. Additionally, it offers "Track Programming for Recording" with both "Automatic Tape Programming" and "Manual Tape Programming" options. Automatic Tape Programming programs tracks on a disc to fit a specified tape length, while Manual Tape Programming allows users to select tracks in any desired order for recording. The "Automatic Peak Level Searching" feature helps adjust recording levels on a tape deck by finding and repeatedly playing the loudest part of a disc.

The unit can be operated via its front panel controls or a supplied remote control transmitter. The remote control offers additional functionalities like "DIMMER" for adjusting display brightness, "SYNCHRO" for synchronized recording, and "TEXT/TIME" for cycling through time displays and CD TEXT information.
