The CDS-1 can play both 3 inch (8 cm) and 5 inch (12 cm) compact discs
(CD’s). Odd shaped and oval CD’s are not compatible. When loading a CD
into the unit always hold the disc by its' edges and place it in the disc tray.
Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side).

• NEVER insert any foreign objects in the disc tray.
• NEVER attempt to insert more than one disc in the disc tray at a time.
Doing so may result in severe damage to the unit.
3. SELECTING TRACKS

a higher or lower track. You may hold down the
TRACK BUTTONS (14

to change tracks continuously at a higher speed. If you are using
the
TRACK BUTTONS (14 & 15)
to select a new track during playback
(a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately
begin playback as soon as the search operation is completed.
4. STARTING PLAYBACK

playback. The
PLAY INDICATORS (7 & 34)

AUTO CUE
”Cueing” is the action of preparing for playback. When the unit is in cue
mode the
CUE INDICATOR (5)
will glow. The unit is designed to automati-
cally cue at the first audible signal on of a disc when a disc is inserted. If
a track is selected before a disc is inserted, the unit will automatically cue
to the first audible signal for the selected track.
