11. CHANGING THE TIME DISPLAY (29, 30, & 31)/TIME BAR (24):

The time may be displayed in three different modes; Total Remain, Remain, and Elapsed. During normal play-
back, pressing the 

TIME BUTTON (11) 

as in figure 11, will change the time display information (29, 30, & 31) in 

the LCD. The following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:    

1)  TOTAL REMAIN (27) - This details the time in the 

LCD (

29, 30, & 31

)

 as the current cds’ total remaining    

  time.  

 

 

2)  REMAIN  (28)  -  This  details  the  time  in  the

  LCD  (

29,  30,  &  31)

 

as  the  current  tracks’  remaining  running 

time.
3) ELAPSED  - This details the time in the 

LCD (

29, 30, & 31

as the current tracks’ elapsed running time. 

The unit will indicate the ELAPSED time when neither the TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN indica-
tors are showing.

 

Note: When playing a Mp3 disc the TOTAL REMAIN time of a disc cannot be 

shown. Only the REMAIN time and ELAPSED time of the track.

TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD visually details the time defined in the 

TIME METER (

29, 30, 

& 31

).

 This bar is also dependent on the selected time function; 

REMAIN (28) or TOTAL REMAIN (27)

This 

bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three 
seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The 
flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in.
